AREAS AFFECTED...WEST TEXAS INTO FAR SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 173...
VALID 260001Z - 260200Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 173
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...THE THREAT FOR LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL CONTINUE
ACROSS WW 173 INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS.
DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING IN AN ENVIRONMENT LARGELY
CHARACTERIZED BY STRAIGHT-LINE HODOGRAPHS WILL CONTINUE TO FAVOR
SPLITTING SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. THE
MOST ROBUST OF THESE SUPERCELLS IS A LEFT SPLIT THAT HAS MOVED
NORTHWARD INTO WW 172, BUT ADDITIONAL STORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP
ALONG THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE TRANS-PECOS MOUNTAINS. SHORT TERM
FORECAST GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD DIE DOWN AFTER
SUNSET, THOUGH AMPLE BUOYANCY AND SHEAR ALONG WITH A WESTWARD
RETREATING DRYLINE COULD RESULT IN SOME LINGERING AFTER-DARK THREAT.
