All severe hazards are likely, including the risk for multiple strong to intense tornadoes, damaging winds, and very large hail. 20Z Update The majority of the forecast remains on track and is unchanged. Modest adjustments were made to the Enhanced risk in the southern Plains. Surface heating is increasing into more of the I-35 corridor as clouds continue to gradually erode from west to east. As mid-level ascent increases into the evening, there is potential for more organized linear structures to move into central Oklahoma and North Texas. Steep mid-level lapse rates sampled by observed soundings and TAMDAR data suggest severe winds would be a concern with these linear structures. Farther north and east, it appears probable that capping will lead to decreasing storm intensity. Additional details are found in the previous discussion.
