Areas affected...Portions of western Texas
Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely=20
Valid 281840Z - 282015Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent
SUMMARY...The severe threat is increasing across western TX.
Supercells capable of all severe hazards are expected, and a Tornado
Watch will be issued soon.
DISCUSSION...Convective initiation is underway ahead of the dryline
across the western TX Panhandle, where convective outflow
progressing westward from earlier storms is providing enhanced lift.
These storms are developing amid an environment characterized by 8+
C/km mid-level lapse rates, boosting MLCAPE to over 2000 J/kg amid
50+ kts of effective bulk shear. Supercells are expected to evolve
through the afternoon, accompanied by large hail (some stones
exceeding 2 inches in diameter), along with severe gusts and a few
tornadoes. With time, storms may merge into an MCS later this
afternoon. Should this occur, severe gusts will become the main
threat.
A Tornado watch will be issued shortly to address the severe threat.
