Severe Thunderstorms Possible in the Southern Plains by Sunday

Another significant trough is forecasted to dig into the Southwest through the weekend. As this occurs, strong upper-level winds will move atop a very unstable airmass. With the combination of these ingredients coming together, there is a growing concern for significant severe weather on Sunday and Monday, particularly across Oklahoma and Kansas.

As the strong low-pressure system approaches, southerly surface winds will increase ahead of it. As this occurs, the atmosphere will become increasingly unstable as heat and humidity grow. By Sunday afternoon, some of the highest instability levels of the season so far look possible.

We're still a few days out, so the fine details have yet to come into focus. However, longer-range models hint at vigorous thunderstorm development both Sunday and Monday afternoon along a stalled-out boundary and sharp dryline. At this point, it appears that all severe thunderstorm hazards are possible, including tornadoes.
