Gonna be interesting to see if the northern part of the area breaks the cap today. Gotta watch those clouds up there. I know for here, it was supposed to be cloudy most of the night but it's clear. But the shortwave is coming from northern New Mexico and the initial development is supposed to go through the northwest Panhandles.

Maybe starting to see the clouds/fog break up in the northern TX Panhandle already. It's very early still but I'm going to bed in an hour or two so, again, I won't know how things are looking until it's too late and things are either going or not going to go. Could be a busy evening/night if clearing does occur.

Nasty MCS consistently being shown on HRRR. Might be consistently wrong though.  It really takes off as it approaches the area that's already getting sun, so at least that makes sense. Kinda reminds me of what happened yesterday around here.

Heading to bed now but it’s looking interesting at this point imo, at least around here.

   Areas affected...northeastern New Mexico and western Oklahoma and
   Texas Panhandles

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 235...

   Valid 242243Z - 250045Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 235
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe threat continues within WW235. Large hail and gusty
   winds continue to be the main hazards with ongoing storms.

   DISCUSSION...Storm development has been ongoing across portions of
   northeastern New Mexico into southern Colorado. Storms are mixed
   mode with semi-discrete and clustered supercells ongoing. Mode
   within this region will likely be dictated by boundary interactions
   and storm mergers, as thunderstorms continue to develop and move
   toward the Texas border through the evening. The axis of most
   favorable instability and deep-layer shear remains across the
   Texas/New Mexico border. Storms may become more organized as they
   move within this regime, with large hail and gusty winds as the main
   concern in the near term. 

   CAM guidance consensus suggests a broken line may develop toward the
   evening, with embedded supercell structures. Around 02-03z, a
   low-level jet will develop across southwestern Texas into the Texas
   Panhandle. The increase in surface flow will lead to more curved
   low-level hodograph shape and increasing potential for a tornado or
   two, if storm mode can maintain embedded supercell circulations.
   Should more upscale growth occur, the main threat may shift to
   damaging winds.

Was hoping for some pop up storms here this afternoon but that didn't happen. Could have another chance tomorrow but the HRRR seems to want to kill it right before it gets here so we'll see. Looks like the bulk of the action will be out west for a while.

Still have some shallow layers of steep lapse rates that weren't destroyed by all that convection last night. Could be some more strong/severe storms after sunset but we'll see. 

Overall, the TX Panhandle has gotten relatively lucky the past couple days in terms of dodging significant severe weather. Back-to-back days it stayed just barely outside the southwest extreme and in ABQ and LUB's area.

The line of the rain stalled and is now weakening west of US-81, a lot of rain for the Western part of Oklahoma though.

Definitely have a splitting supercell near Logan, NM but if the right mover stays just outside of the AMA CWA and goes from ABQ to LUB, my mind will be blown. Would be the third straight day this happens

(the southwesternmost county of the AMA CWA is the one that Hereford is in... Deaf Smith County)
