Areas affected...The Trans Pecos into West Texas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

Valid 022001Z - 022130Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...Storms are expected to develop within the next 1 to 2
hours with a primary threat for large to very large hail. Severe
wind gusts and a tornado or two are also possible.

DISCUSSION...Towering cu have started to cluster over the Davis
mountains with more robust storm development likely within the next
1 to 2 hours. A very moist airmass is in place which has yielded
strong to extreme instability (3000-4000 J/kg MLCAPE). Moderate
shear (~40 knots) beneath a subtropical jet streak should support
supercells with large to very large hail possible. Storm coverage is
the greater question with higher confidence of a few supercells from
the Davis Mountains southward. North of Fort Stockton, storm
coverage may remain more sparse given the lack of cu along the
dryline and separation from the forcing associated with the
mid-level shortwave trough approaching the Texas Panhandle.
Nonetheless, if any supercells form, they will pose a threat for
large hail up to baseball sized, severe wind gusts, and perhaps a
tornado.
