After several days of active weather in the Central and Southern Plains, another storm system will bring the threat for severe storms back to this region over the weekend. A low is expected to form in the lee of the Rockies today with an associated cold front developing. The energy from this low will tap into a warm and moist environment to create strong enough updrafts for severe storms.

SUNDAY

Severe Outlook

Severe Risks

All modes of severe weather will be in the forecast through tonight with large hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. The wind and hail risk will be the highest risk with today’s particular set-up.

Forecast

The timing for today’s severe storm chances will be during the peak heating this afternoon and early evening.  Some storms could last into early Monday, but most of the storms will be weakening during this timeframe.

MONDAY

Severe Outlook

The chance for severe storms will continue on Monday as the upper-level energy moves just slightly to the east.

Severe Risks

Strong tornadoes and dangerously large hail will be possible, especially across West Texas Monday.
