AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF THE TEXAS BIG COUNTRY
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE
VALID 230059Z - 230230Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...40 PERCENT
SUMMARY...POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING/SEVERE WIND GUSTS MAY DEVELOP
EASTWARD IN ASSOCIATION WITH A LOOSELY-ORGANIZED BAND OF CONVECTION.
TRENDS ARE BEING MONITORED FOR POTENTIAL DOWNSTREAM WATCH ISSUANCE.
DISCUSSION...CONVECTIVE COVERAGE HAS GRADUALLY INCREASED OVER THE
PAST HOUR ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST TEXAS ALONG THE EASTERN EDGE
OF A CONSOLIDATED COLD POOL. WHILE COOLING SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND
INCREASING INHIBITION ARE NOTED AHEAD OF THIS CONVECTION VIA THE
LATEST SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AND OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS, 2000-3000 J/KG
MLCAPE AND MODEST WESTERLY EFFECTIVE SHEAR OF 20-30 KTS MAY SUPPORT
THE CONTINUED EASTWARD PROPAGATION OF THIS DEVELOPING CONVECTIVE
BAND. SHOULD THIS OCCUR, THE PRIMARY SEVERE THREAT WOULD BE
DAMAGING/SEVERE WIND GUSTS; ALTHOUGH, IT REMAINS UNCERTAIN AS TO
WHETHER THIS BAND WILL ATTAIN MORE THAN LOOSE ORGANIZATION. SOME
RISK FOR ISOLATED LARGE HAIL MAY ALSO PERSIST WITH THE STRONGEST
UPDRAFTS.
