Potential for severe weather exists in the area later today...

The chance for thunderstorms will be increasing for us through the day. Some storms that form today will have the potential to produce large hail, damaging winds and heavy rainfall.

Wide scale upward motion (lift) in the atmosphere is currently moving into west Texas with the next upper level disturbance. Upper air analysis shows that moisture continues to build up in large amounts over the area, and surface observations show high humidity levels in place (like you didn’t know that.) Our cap/lid has weakened considerably since yesterday. This all tells me that the chance of thunderstorms, some severe will be possible across the area beginning this afternoon and continuing into tonight.

After this round of rain moves out the next bout looks to be close on its heels and will affect the area on Friday as a frontal system moves in.

Keep the umbrellas handy today and your NOAA weather radios on standby late this afternoon into tonight.
