Areas affected...Portions of central Texas toward the Edwards
Plateau
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely
Valid 172359Z - 180100Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent
SUMMARY...The severe threat will continue to increase this evening
across central TX. Damaging winds and large hail will be the main
threats with storms this evening into the nighttime hours. A watch
will likely be needed soon.
DISCUSSION...Towering CU and most recently, an isolated
thunderstorm, were increasing in the vicinity of the surface dryline
across parts of the Concho Valley in central TX. This development is
perhaps a little earlier than forecast, but several factors,
including increasing midlevel clouds and towering CU across the TX
Big Bend vicinity into Mexico west of Del Rio, along with RAP
analysis and moistening evident in midlevel water vapor channel
suggest that stronger forcing is beginning to enter the region.
Initial isolated convection will pose a threat for very large hail
with midlevel lapse rates approaching 8 C/km and effective shear
greater than 50kt. While backed low level flow exists to the east of
the dryline, 0-2km shear is only on the order of 10-20 kt. This,
coupled with the fact that any discrete cells should remain rather
high-based should limit tornado potential. As forcing continues to
increase during the evening hours and a southwesterly low level jet
increases, more vigorous development is expected along the
dryline/effective cold front and this activity will quickly take on
a linear storm mode, posing a damaging wind threat as the line
shifts eastward across central TX. A watch will likely be needed
soon.
