Thunderstorms capable of producing large hail and isolated severe gusts should occur across parts of the central/southern High Plains this afternoon and evening. A tornado or two may also occur. ...Discussion... The ongoing forecast remains on track. Moved Slight back farther west to where ongoing storms are in southeast Colorado and northeast New Mexico. MRMS MESH currently shows around 1 inch hail with these cells with some strengthening anticipated as they move into a more unstable airmass to the east. For additional information, see MCD 812. A few stronger cells have developed across West Texas where greater instability has developed. Isolated large hail and severe wind gusts are possible, but the overall threat is expected to remain sub-severe. See MCD 813 for additional information about the storms in this area. Strong to isolated severe storms have developed across North Carolina and southern Virginia and are expected to persist through the afternoon and early evening. See MCD 814 for additional discussion. ..Bentley.. 05/21/2026 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1115 AM CDT Thu May 21 2026/ ...High Plains... Water vapor imagery shows an upper trough moving across western WY/CO. This feature will spread weak/broad large scale forcing for ascent across much of the High Plains from SD to NM this afternoon. At the surface, southerly low level winds have resulted in an axis of 40s/50s dewpoints along this corridor. Low clouds are slowly eroding, which should result in moderate CAPE values and aid in the development of widely scattered afternoon thunderstorms. Isolated storms will likely form first over parts of eastern NM. This activity will build slowly eastward toward west TX with a risk of large hail. By mid/late afternoon, storms will likely develop off the Raton and Palmer ridges, spreading eastward toward western KS this evening. Shear profiles in this area will be stronger than farther south, supporting longer-lived storms capable of large hail, damaging winds, and perhaps a tornado or two. An isolated cell or two may also produce occasional severe hail over parts of eastern WY and into the Black Hills region later this afternoon. ...Carolinas/VA... Clear skies are leading to strong heating over parts of southern VA into part of NC/SC. Scattered afternoon thunderstorms are expected to form in this zone, with steep low-level lapse rates and sufficient CAPE supporting a risk of gusty/damaging winds in the strongest cells. $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
