Severe thunderstorms are expected across the Texas Panhandle into western north Texas from late afternoon to evening on Sunday. Very large hail and destructive wind gusts are possible. Scattered severe thunderstorms are also possible elsewhere in the South-Central States and along the Southeast Atlantic Coastal Plain. ...Synopsis... An amplified upper trough will slowly move southeast across the Upper Midwest. Primary surface cyclone will drift east into northwest ON, with an occluded cold front arcing south then southwestward across the Mid-MS Valley to the south-central High Plains by Sunday afternoon. A lower-amplitude mid-level trough, with embedded MCVs from prior D2 convection, should shift east from the eastern Midwest/OH Valley across the Appalachians by Sunday evening. ...Southern Great Plains... The active severe-weather pattern across the region may peak during late afternoon to evening Sunday. With a brief respite on D2 in the wake of multiple MCSs, buoyancy should become large to extreme from the TX Panhandle across the OK/TX Red River Valley by Sunday afternoon. Guidance remains quite insistent on initial convective development occurring as the trailing cold front pushes south into the OK/TX Panhandles. With mid to upper wind profiles becoming west-northwesterly, elongated hodographs coupled with the strong instability will favor discrete supercells capable of producing very large hail. Consolidating outflows and a strengthening low-level jet in the evening will yield increasingly widespread storms that should congeal into a forward-propagating MCS. This type of setup is conducive to potentially intense MCS development and destructive wind gusts. Severe wind and embedded hail potential should persist overnight perhaps reaching the Ark-La-Tex vicinity. ...Southeast... The degree of ongoing convection on Sunday morning yields low confidence on how broad a region of scattered severe-storm potential exists across the Southeast, amid enhanced mid-level westerlies augmenting by remnant MCVs. The Southeast Atlantic Coastal Plain and adjacent Piedmont remains the best potential area for robust boundary-layer heating. Scattered damaging winds and isolated severe hail should be the main hazards from afternoon storms. ...Ozarks to IL... Isolated to scattered severe storms are possible along this portion of the cold front, mainly focused from late afternoon to mid-evening. The mid-level jetlet associated with the Upper Midwest trough should impinge on the northern IL portion of the front where instability is expected to be weak. Some mid-level flow enhancement should overlap a progressively more unstable airmass to the southwest, yielding potential for large hail and damaging wind. ..Grams.. 06/06/2025 $$
