THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 148 CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...LONG-LIVED SUPERCELL CLUSTER SHOULD BEGIN TO WEAKEN BY
07-08Z. LARGE HAIL, WIND DAMAGE AND AN ISOLATED TORNADO WILL BE

DISCUSSION...A LONG-LIVED, SMALL SUPERCELL CLUSTER CONTINUES TO MOVE
ACROSS THE DFW METROPLEX WITH THE MORE RECENT HAIL REPORTS IN THE
1-1.75 INCH RANGE AND MEASURED GUSTS OF 40-46 KT (61 KT MEASURED AT
KNFW ~45 MINUTES AGO). THESE STORMS REMAIN IN A RELATIVELY
FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT CLOSE TO THE AXIS OF LARGEST MLCAPE AND WEAKER
CONVECTIVE INHIBITION, AND A VWPS SHOW 30-40 KT SOUTHERLY STORM
INFLOW. HOWEVER, STORM OUTFLOW HAS TENDED TO SPREAD SOUTHEAST OF
THE MAIN UPDRAFTS, AND A GRADUAL DECREASE IN BUOYANCY AND INCREASE
IN THE CAP SHOULD LEAD TO A WEAKENING TREND BY ROUGHLY 07-08Z. IN
THE INTERIM, OCCASIONAL LARGE HAIL AND STRONG-SEVERE OUTFLOW GUSTS
WILL BE POSSIBLE.
