Areas affected...Trans-Pecos/Lower Pecos Valley of TX

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

Valid 231956Z - 232130Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...Localized strong to severe gusts of 50-65 mph and small to
marginally severe hail to around 1 inch in diameter will be possible
with a couple storms in far west Texas.

DISCUSSION...High-based, lower-topped thunderstorms are expected to
persist for a few more hours off the higher terrain of the TX
Trans-Pecos and spread east towards the Lower Pecos Valley before
weakening. Steep lower-level lapse rates will be conductive to
microbursts beneath generally small hail cores aloft. The overall
environmental setup coupled with the lack of stronger large-scale
ascent suggest that any severe threat should remain relatively
localized in space/short in time, and marginal in intensity.
