    Valid 222038Z - 222215Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 286, 287 continues.

    SUMMARY...Very large hail from 2-3" remains the primary risk from
    southwest Texas across central Texas into northeast Texas. A few
    tornadoes are possible as well, particularly across southwest Texas.

    DISCUSSION...An intense supercell continues over Coleman County
    Texas. This storm is the most substantial development within the
    very unstable and strongly sheared airmass extending from southwest
    TX across central TX into northeast TX. Additional development near
    the surface low in the Permian Basin has recently intensified,
    acquiring supercellular characteristics as it moved into Sterling
    County TX. This storm may begin to interact with outflow from the
    Coleman County storm, resulting in some potential for additional
    strengthening. Vertical vorticity along this boundary could aid in tornadogenesis.

    Robust updrafts capable of very large hail up to 2-3" remain
    possible. The large anvil cast by the Coleman County storm could
    have some influence on where this additional initiation occurs,
    perhaps shifting the more favorable initiation zone to the edges of
    the anvil where differential heating is more likely. Large hail
    remains possible with left splits over northwest TX, with at least
    some potential for in-situ development along the cold front as well.
