Areas affected...portions of the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles...and
into the Texas South Plains

Concerning...Tornado Watch 351...

Valid 212339Z - 220115Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 351 continues.

SUMMARY...Severe/isolated tornado risk continues across the western
half of WW 351, and may expand southward into the South Plains
region with time. A new Tornado Watch may be needed.

DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a broken line of supercell
storms extending from extreme southwestern Kansas southward to areas
east and southeast of Amarillo. The convection is occurring near a
composite dryline/outflow -- outflow which spread westward from
earlier-day Oklahoma storms.

A narrow axis of strong instability (mixed-layer CAPE values locally
in excess of 4500 J/kg) is indicated along the boundary, which is
fueling the ongoing storms, while low-level southeasterlies across
the area topped by mid-level westerlies near 40 kt continue to
provide favorable shear for both mid-level and low-level rotation.

While very large hail remains the primary risk at this time, a
couple of tornadoes will be possible, with the storm over Armstrong
County Texas possibly having produced a brief/weak tornado recently.
With time, storms should expand southward, into the South Plains
region, which may require new WW issuance.
