AREAS AFFECTED...NORTH TEXAS
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 278...
VALID 172229Z - 172330Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 278
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF PRIMARILY LARGE HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS ARE APPROACHING THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE
DALLAS/FORT WORTH METROPLEX. 2.00-3.5" HAIL AND 65-80 MPH WINDS ARE
POSSIBLE AS STORMS CONTINUE NORTH AND EAST THIS EVENING.
DISCUSSION...A LOOSE CLUSTER OF SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS IS
APPROACHING THE DALLAS/FORT WORTH METROPLEX, WHICH WILL BE CAPABLE
OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. THE OVERALL MESSY NATURE OF
CONVECTION APPEARS TO BE SOMEWHAT LIMITING THE SEVERITY OF HAIL FOR
THE TIME BEING, BUT WILL POSE A DAMAGING WIND THREAT IN THE SHORT
TERM. ADDITIONALLY, A NORTHWARD-MOVING LEFT-SPLIT SUPERCELL TO THE
WEST OF FORT WORTH WILL SERVE AS THE LOCAL MAXIMUM FOR A LARGE HAIL
THREAT WITHIN WW 278 FOR THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS.
