The image below shows a visible satellite image just taken of the southern Plains. The location of the surface dryline has been noted by the yellowish-brown line.
Towering cumulus clouds are developing along a portion of the dryline from southwest Oklahoma into northwest and west-central Texas, as noted by the red encircled region on the next image:
A very strong capping inversion is in place along and ahead of the dryline in both Oklahoma & Texas. The question is: Will any of the towering cumulus be able to break through the cap and explode into a thunderstorm?
Any thunderstorm that does manage to break the cap and develop will become severe very rapidly. Very large hail, damaging winds and even a tornado will be possible with any such storm.
The risk (albeit low) of development will be the greatest over the next 2 hours.
