AREAS AFFECTED...NORTH-CENTRAL TEXAS
CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 144...
VALID 260103Z - 260200Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 144 CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...TORNADO THREAT TO CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS
WITH A MATURE SUPERCELL ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL TEXAS.
DISCUSSION...A MATURE SUPERCELL CONTINUES TO MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD
ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL TEXAS ACROSS JACK COUNTY. THIS CELL HAS A
HISTORY OF PRODUCING MULTIPLE TORNADOES AND VERY LARGE HAIL (UP TO 3
INCHES IN DIAMETER). MODIFYING THE HODOGRAPH FROM KFDR EARLIER AND
NOW FROM KFWS WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE SOUTHEASTWARD STORM MOTION IS
CONTRIBUTING TO AROUND 200-250 M2/S2 0-1 KM SRH. THIS STORM IS ALSO
MOVING WITHIN A VOLATILE THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT, WITH MLCAPE
AROUND 3000 J/KG AND DEW POINTS IN THE UPPER 60S IN A BROAD SWATH
AHEAD OF THIS STORM. RADAR PRESENCE CONTINUES TO SHOW A STRONG
MID-LEVEL MESOCYCLONE. IT IS LIKELY THAT THIS SUPERCELL WILL
CONTINUE TO POSE A RISK FOR TORNADOES, WITH POTENTIAL FOR A STRONG
TORNADO. LARGE HAIL (SOME 2-4 INCHES IN DIAMETER) WILL ALSO REMAIN A
THREAT.
