    Areas affected...OK/TX Panhandles into the TX South Plains

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 167...

    Valid 250151Z - 250315Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 167 continues.

    SUMMARY...Supercells with very large hail and a tornado threat may
    continue into late evening.

    DISCUSSION...A cluster of supercells with a history of producing
    very large hail is ongoing at 0145 UTC across the northeast TX
    Panhandle. While MLCINH is gradually increasing, some rightward
    motion has recently been noted with these cells, indicative of some
    increase in cell organization. Some tornado threat may yet evolve
    with these cells, given the presence of strong instability and
    modestly enlarged low-level hodographs per the KAMA VWP. Otherwise,
    large to very large hail and localized severe gusts will remain
    possible with the strongest of these cells as they propagate
    southeastward.=20

    Farther south, a cell with notable deviant rightward motion is
    moving southward into Garza County. This cell has a history of
    producing tornadoes and is likely producing very large to giant
    hail. An imminent collision with a northeastward-moving left-mover
    may disrupt this cell, though the cell/outflow interaction may
    briefly lead to an uptick in tornado potential. The long-lived cell
    over southern Motley County may also continue to pose a threat of
    all severe hazards over the next 1-2 hours.=20

    Eventually, increasing MLCINH should lead to weakening of ongoing
    discrete storms, though some threat may still persist to near or
    after the 11 PM CDT expiration time of WW 167.
