After watching strong thunderstorms push from Scurry county to the East-Northeast and through Stonewall, Haskell and Knox counties, I thought I'd post new thoughts on Saturday's forecast.
It looks like we could be set-up for a significant severe weather outbreak anywhere from areas at or North of IH-20 all the way to Oklahoma City. There is no lack of moisture and no lack of instability. The only think lacking will be a lifting mechanism, or trigger. That will come by early afternoon I think in the form a a dryline. This will create the strong lift for VERY quickly developing thunderstorms.
There is significant reason to worry about tornados North of IH-20 tomorrow. The best chance for tornadic activity will be just North of our viewing area, but I don't think we are out of the woods.
Please use extreme caution if you have outdoor plans Saturday. Keep your weather radio turned on, your television turned on, and if you haven't yet, sign up for our free E-Warn service to get all weather watches and warnings sent to you.
