...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE HIGH PLAINS...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms associated with isolated severe wind gusts and hail
will be possible on Sunday across parts of the High Plains.

...High Plains...
At mid-levels, flow will become northwesterly across much of the
High Plains on Sunday, as a ridge becomes established across the
Intermountain West. At the surface, a moist axis will be in place
across the Great Plains, where surface dewpoints will be mostly in
the 60s F. By afternoon, moderate instability is expected to develop
along the western edge of this moist airmass. As surface heating
takes place, isolated thunderstorm development is expected in areas
where low-level convergence becomes maximized. Near the instability
axis, the models are forecasting moderate deep-layer shear and steep
low to mid-level lapse rates. This should be enough for an isolated
severe threat, with a few severe wind gusts and hail possible. These
storms are expected to form in the afternoon, as a shortwave trough
exits the region. Subsidence behind the trough should keep any
severe threat localized.
