Another round of showers and thunderstorms is expected across the Southern Plains ahead of a slow moving cold front. Over West Texas, conditions will be favorable for a few severe thunderstorms. A strong cap in place could limit the severe thunderstorm activity during the day, but any thunderstorms that develop will have the potential for large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes. After subset, thunderstorm activity will likely increase as a strong upper level trough approaches, but with the loss of daytime heating, the severe weather threat will likely diminish.
