Areas affected...portions of western Texas

Concerning...Tornado Watch 379...

Valid 070157Z - 070330Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 379 continues.

SUMMARY...Very large hail and significant severe gusts remain likely
with the stronger storms, and a couple of tornadoes cannot be ruled
out. A downstream WW issuance may be needed if it becomes evident
that severe storms should persist for several more hours.

DISCUSSION...Several supercells continue to track east ahead of a
dryline, atop an unstable warm sector. Some of these supercells have
a history of producing large hail over 3 inches in diameter, along
with 80+ mph wind gusts. Given up to 4000 J/kg MLCAPE preceding the
storms, it is not out of the question for these storms to persist
with significant severe wind/hail and sparse tornado potential for
at least a couple more hours. 00Z RAP forecast soundings show
convective inhibition setting in ahead of the ongoing storms, given
15C 700 mb temperatures overspreading a nocturnally cooling boundary
layer. As such, long-term severe potential remains unclear.
Nonetheless, if storms show signs of persisting into west-central
TX, a downstream WW issuance may be needed.
