DISCUSSION...As of 2330 UTC, regional radar analysis showed two stronger thunderstorms have matured along the dryline across the eastern TX Panhandle. While vertical shear is rather modest, very hot surface temperatures over 100 F and 60s F surface dewpoints are supporting moderate instability with these supercells. Isolated large hail is possible for the next couple of hours given the steep lapse rates and buoyancy, along with the potential for damaging winds with T/TD spreads of 40 degrees F. Recent reports of a landspout also suggests a tornado is possible, especially in Lipscomb County, TX where back building along the dryline/boundary with enhanced vertical vorticity has been noted. Weak steering flow and modest storm motions should keep the severe threat fairly isolated. Inhibition is also forecast to increase rapidly with the loss of diurnal heating this evening. This suggests a WW is not needed, though trends will continue to be monitored. ..Lyons/Gleason.. 06/08/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...OUN...LUB...AMA...
