    Mesoscale Discussion 1724
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1133 AM CST Wed Dec 26 2018

    Areas affected...West Texas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 261733Z - 261930Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Strong/severe convection is expected to develop across
    west Texas early this afternoon. Damaging winds and some hail are
    possible with this activity. Watch will likely be issued by 19z.

    DISCUSSION...Strong large-scale forcing for ascent is spreading
    across southeast NM/West TX at roughly 25kt. Latest satellite
    imagery suggests the leading edge of this forcing will begin to
    influence boundary-layer convection over the next few hours. Morning
    CAMS support this with significant convection expected to develop
    around 19z along the wind shift. This activity will be strongly
    sheared but should quickly evolve into a squall line that will
    advance east across the TX South Plains toward the Big Country
    region. Wind and hail are expected with the squall line.

    Secondly, warm advection-induced convection is expected to gradually
    intensify across parts of northwest TX into the mid afternoon hours.
    It's not entirely clear when this activity will root into the
    boundary layer such that more intense updrafts evolve into severe
    supercells. This scenario is expected to materialize later this
    afternoon upon which the tornado threat will increase accordingly.
    Initial watch may reflect the forced squall line with subsequent
    watches addressing the increased tornado potential downstream.
