...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF
THE TEXAS PANHANDLE...

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTHWEST
WISCONSIN...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms remain possible this evening across parts of
the central/southern Plains, and also across portions of the Upper
Midwest. Severe wind gusts and isolated large hail are the primary
hazards.

...Southern/central High Plains...
A storm cluster is moving southeastward across the TX/OK Panhandles
this evening. A short-term threat for strong to severe gusts will
persist through the evening with this cluster. The evolution of this
cluster as it moves into a region influenced by westward-moving
outflow is unclear. Cooler temperatures and weaker low-level lapse
rates are observed within this outflow, though richer low-level
moisture and stronger MUCAPE also noted, which may help to sustain
the ongoing cluster and an attendant severe-wind threat through the
evening. 

Farther north, widely scattered strong to severe storms are ongoing
across parts of the central High Plains. Moderate buoyancy and
effective shear of 30-40 kt will continue to support a threat of
isolated hail and localized strong to severe gusts through dusk.
Increasing CINH should eventually lead to a weakening trend later
tonight, though any storm clustering this evening could lead to a
longer duration of localized severe-wind potential. See MCD 2132 for
more information regarding the short-term threat in this area. 

...Parts of WI/Upper MI...
Occasional strong to severe storms have been noted within a storm
cluster across northwest WI this evening. MLCAPE of 1000-2000 J/kg
and 30-40 kt of effective shear largely orthogonal to the surface
front/trough will continue to support supercell potential through
dusk, before a gradual weakening trend is expected. See MCD 2133 and
WW 626 for more information.
