.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
Issued at 1008 AM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025

Local radars are showing convection getting an early start across
our southern zones. This convection will continue to increase from
the south through the day. Although no strong to severe storms are
expected this morning, local microburst checklist showed a slight
chance by mid afternoon. Early morning satellite imagery/RAP
analysis showed a shortwave trough axis just to our west that is
progged to shift east and help enhance the convection. With the
early start and numerous coverage of convection, some locations
may struggle to reach forecast maximum afternoon temperatures
today. Have made minor adjustments to temperatures will lowest
highs expected over the southwest. /22/
