SOMEWHAT DRIER BOUNDARY LAYER IN THIS REGION MAY SUPPORT DOWNBURST WIND POTENTIAL. IN ADDITION TO LOCALLY STRONG DOWNBURST WINDS...LARGE HAIL IS POSSIBLE WITH ANY OF THE PERSISTENT ROTATING STORMS GIVEN MAGNITUDE OF AVAILABLE INSTABILITY TO THIS DEVELOPING CONVECTION. AVIATION...A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH HAIL SURFACE AND ALOFT TO 2 INCHES. EXTREME TURBULENCE AND SURFACE WIND GUSTS TO 60 KNOTS. A FEW CUMULONIMBI WITH MAXIMUM TOPS TO 500.
