DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED TO THE NORTH OF AN MCV     WHICH HAS BEEN NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS THE SRN PANHANDLE AND SOUTH     PLAINS. THIS AREA IS ALONG THE INSTABILITY GRADIENT RESULTING FROM     DIFFERENTIAL HEATING AND IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE A BELT OF STRONGER     MID LEVEL EASTERLY WINDS EXISTS AS DEPICTED BY THE LATEST KAMA VWP.     THIS SETUP MAY LEAD TO ORGANIZED WESTWARD-MOVING MULTICELL STORMS     POSING A RISK OF STRONG WINDS AND HAIL THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE     AFTN.           THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD REMAIN SUFFICIENTLY ISOLATED TO PRECLUDE A     WW.          ..BUNTING/MEAD.. 06/05/2012               ATTN...WFO...OUN...LUB...AMA...
