Areas affected...parts of west-central into northwest Texas
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely
Valid 251841Z - 252015Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent
SUMMARY...Isolated supercells are expected to form over the next 1-2
hours along the dryline over west-central into parts of northwest
TX. Very large hail and a couple tornadoes will be possible.
DISCUSSION...Surface analysis shows an extremely moist air mass with
70s F dewpoints extending west toward the Snyder/Sweetwater area,
along a developing dryline. Strong heating will aid further
destabilization and CIN removal, as low-level convergence gradually
increase near the dryline.
Visible imagery already shows towers forming in this area,
suggesting at least isolated supercells will soon form. Extreme
instability as well as impressive mid to high level winds will
strongly favor very large and damaging hail. Although the primary
tornado risk is forecast north of this area later today, a couple
tornadoes appear likely with the southern supercells given favorable
storm mode, impressive updrafts, and gradually increasingly
low-level SRH through early evening.
