    Areas affected...Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely=20

    Valid 241906Z - 242100Z

    CORRECTED FOR TEXT ERORR

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Supercell development is expected by 21-23z, capable of
    all hazard (tornadoes, very large hail, and severe wind). A Tornado
    Watch will be be needed later this afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Cu development has steadily increased across the
    Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles this afternoon. MLCIN eroding with
    daytime heating and temperatures warming into the mid 70s. Supercell development is expected along the surface dryline and near Cap Rock
    between 21-23z.=20

    With additional daytime heating, a corridor of MLCAPE around 2000
    J/kg will be in place across much of the TX/OK Panhandles. Shear
    profiles are sufficient, with deep layer shear around 30-35 kts.
    This will support robust scattered discrete supercell development,
    with potential for very large hail (some 2-3+") initially, given
    steep low to mid-lapse rates. A more favorable corridor for
    tornadoes is possible from areas near Amarillo to the Cap Rock
    northeastward to the OK line. Within this region, backed surface
    flow will support larger low-level curvature of hodographs. This in
    combination with enhanced surface vorticity along the differential
    heating boundary and near the dryline may result in a tornado or two
    towards the late afternoon/evening. A Tornado Watch will likely be
    needed this afternoon to cover this potential.
