MD 2023 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 604… FOR SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS
Mesoscale Discussion 2023

Areas affected...Southern High Plains
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 604...
Valid 300209Z - 300415Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 604
continues.
SUMMARY...Gusty winds may accompany storms as they propagate
southeast this evening.
DISCUSSION...Several thunderstorm clusters persist this evening
across the High Plains from northwest KS into east central NM. This
activity appears to be aided by a short-wave trough that is
flattening the ridge over CO. 00z soundings from both AMA and DDC
exhibited around 7-7.5 C/km lapse rates, and more than adequate
shear for maintaining these clusters as they propagate southeast.
While large-scale support will continue to encourage some longevity,
buoyancy is not particularly strong, especially given the weak
low-level inflow. Gusty winds are the main concern with these storms
as they move southeast, but a new watch is not currently anticipated
downstream.
