VALID 290002Z - 290200Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 171 CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...AN INTENSE SUPERCELL PRODUCING VERY LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS WILL CONTINUE SOUTHEASTWARD. OTHER ISOLATED CELLS
MAY AFFECT AREAS TO WEST NEAR EASTLAND AND STEPHENVILLE.
DISCUSSION...AN INTENSE SUPERCELL WITH A LONG HISTORY OF VERY LARGE
AND DAMAGING HAIL IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN JOHNSON COUNTY TX. THIS
CELL WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD FOR THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS
INTO A VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS. SHEAR PROFILES ARE
SUFFICIENT FOR ALL SEVERE MODES, INCLUDING WIND-DRIVEN SIGNIFICANT
HAIL AND OCCASIONAL TORNADOES.
NEW STORMS HAVE FORMED ON THE WESTERN FLANK OF THE LARGE SUPERCELL,
OVER STEPHENS AND PALO PINTO COUNTIES. THESE STORMS APPEAR TO BE
BEHIND THE PRIMARY OUTFLOW OF THE SUPERCELL, BUT SUFFICIENT ELEVATED
CAPE WILL POSE A RISK OF LARGE HAIL FROM THIS ACTIVITY AS IT SAGS
SOUTHEASTWARD.
