Areas affected...Southern Texas Panhandle

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 174...

Valid 260843Z - 261045Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 174
continues.

SUMMARY...An isolated threat for large hail and severe gusts could
continue for another hour or two. Weather watch extension may become
necessary as the 09Z watch expiration approaches.

DISCUSSION...Latest hi-res radar imagery from Amarillo shows an MCS
over the southern Texas Panhandle extending westward into
northeastern New Mexico. This relatively large cluster of storms is
located along an east-to-west oriented instability gradient, with
the RAP suggesting that MLCAPE is in the 1000 to 1500 J/kg range.
These storms are being supported by large-scale associated with
shortwave trough over west Texas, and by warm advection that is
occurring over the southern Plains. The WSR-88D VWP from Amarillo
has 0-6 km shear near 40 knots with an abrupt wind shift around 1 km
above ground level. This amount of deep-layer shear will be
sufficient for supercells, with large hail as the primary threat.
Isolated severe gusts will also be possible. The severe threat my
last for a couple more hours, and could necessitate a watch
extension.
