Today features a long north-south dryline from the Rio Grande southwest of MAF to western Nebraska. A northern stream shortwave is setting off strong convection embedded in strong deep shear though with relatively high dewpoint depressions. A jet exit region extending over west TX is setting off convection in the MAF area with a little better shear and moisture. We’ll be targeting the MAF and LBB CWAs and focusing on tornado and hail threats.
