    Areas affected...central Texas

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 412...413...

    Valid 131604Z - 131800Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 412, 413 continues.

    SUMMARY...Severe risk -- and the potential for a couple of tornadoes
    -- continues across portions of central Texas, within WW 412 and
    413.

    DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows several fairly
    intense/supercell storms in a cluster extending from the Concho
    Valley to the Hill Country, with a few of the storms exhibiting
    persistent, but rather weak, low-level rotation. The storms are
    occurring within a warm sector bounded by a cold front that extends
    from a low near BWD (Brownwood TX) to the Rio Grande just west of
    DRT (Del Rio), and a warm front which arcs from the low eastward and
    then southeastward across central and eastern Texas.

    As the system -- which is comprised of the remnants of tropical
    system Sergio -- continues to shift east-northeastward across north
    Texas toward southeast Oklahoma, low-level flow to the south, i.e.
    within the warm sector, will continue to gradually veer with time.
    While this will yield a slow decrease in 0-1km shear on the
    meso-alpha scale, enhanced shear in more localized meso-beta-scale
    zones -- including near the low and warm front, and near smaller
    storm-scale boundaries -- will persist. As such, potential for a
    couple of tornadoes remains evident, while locally damaging winds
    and perhaps hail with a few of the strongest updrafts will also be
    possible.

    While storms continue to move eastward out of WW 412 into WW 413,
    storms just ahead of the slowly advancing cold front are not
    expected to have fully cleared WW 412 by its scheduled 17Z
    expiration. Therefore, local extensions in time for some of the WW
    412 counties may be required.
