CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 278...280...
VALID 172343Z - 180115Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 278, 280
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...WHILE CONVECTIVE COVERAGE REMAINS RELATIVELY LOW, SOME NEW
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT COULD POTENTIALLY POSE A RISK FOR HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS.
DISCUSSION...CONVECTIVE COVERAGE ACROSS WW 280 REMAINS RELATIVELY
LOW. HOWEVER, ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT HAS OCCURRED OVER
CENTRAL TEXAS, WITH FAIRLY ROBUST ECHO TOPS AROUND 45 KFT AND HIGHER
REFLECTIVITY CORES. HOWEVER, THIS STORM IS MOVING INTO AN AREA OF
CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW. IT IS UNCERTAIN IF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL
PERSIST -- ALBEIT, ROOTED ABOVE THE BOUNDARY LAYER -- OR DISSIPATE
AS IT ENTERS THE COLDER AIR. STILL, AS THIS STORM MOVES NORTHWARD
INTO WW 278, IT MAY POSE AN ADDITIONAL RISK FOR SEVERE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS.
