    Mesoscale Discussion 1727

    0443 PM CST Wed Dec 26 2018

    Areas affected...Northwest to North Texas Southward into Texas Hill
    Country

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 442...

    Valid 262243Z - 270045Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 442 continues.

    SUMMARY...The wind damage threat will increase over the next few
    hours from northwest Texas southward into the Texas Hill Country. An
    isolated tornado threat will also be possible.

    DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery shows a cluster of semi
    discrete thunderstorms in north-central Texas. This activity is
    located along the axis of a 40-55 kt low-level jet. Strong low-level
    shear associated with this feature will support an isolated tornado
    threat along or just to the east of tornado watch 442.

    Further to the west, a large-scale bowing line segment is present
    from the southeast Texas Panhandle extending into west-central and
    southwest Texas. This line will continue to hold together as it
    moves eastward into increasing instability. An axis of moderate
    instability (MLCAPE 1500-2500 J/kg) is present just ahead of the
    line according to he RAP. This combined with strong large-scale
    ascent ahead of a southern Rockies upper-level trough and strong
    deep-layer shear over much of the southern Plains, will enable the
    line to continue to have a wind damage threat. As the line moves
    eastward into the western edge of the low-level jet, an isolated
    tornado threat will also exist. The tornado threat will be
    associated with rotating cells embedded in the line.
