Areas affected...central Texas

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 685...

Valid 161351Z - 161515Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 685
continues.

SUMMARY...A couple of strong to severe gusts may persist another 1-2
hours before thunderstorms weaken. A downstream watch is not
currently expected.

DISCUSSION...An overall weakening trend has been observed over the
past 30-60 minutes with a bowing cluster of storms moving across the
Concho Valley/central TX. Much of the trailing convection to the south/southwest of the apex has decreased in intensity
substantially. However, a 44 kt gust was reported at SJT about an
hour ago, and a gust to 64 kt was reported at the West Texas Mesonet
site at Doole about 30 minutes ago.=20

The overall expectation is that convection will continue to weaken
in a modestly unstable airmass characterized by weak vertical shear,
poor lapse rates, and decreasing warm advection as storms continue
to shift east/southeast. A couple of strong/severe gusts near the
apex may persist in the short term, but a downstream watch is not
currently expected.
