    Mesoscale Discussion 0187

    Areas affected...Portions of west/central TX

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 19...

    Valid 130542Z - 130715Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 19 continues.

    SUMMARY...Both an isolated damaging wind and tornado threat should
    continue across WW 19 in the next 1-2 hours (through 07Z/2 AM CDT).

    DISCUSSION...Ongoing squall line which has produced multiple 40-50+
    kt gusts over the past couple of hours should continue to pose an
    isolated damaging wind threat for the next couple of hours as it
    moves quickly east-northeastward across parts of west TX. The best
    wind potential should remain confined to mainly the northern half of
    WW 19 where the overall line orientation has become more orthogonal
    to the mean mid-level southwesterly flow and weak but sufficient
    instability exists to maintain the overall line intensity. An
    embedded tornado cannot be completely ruled out with the line
    beginning to encounter enhanced low-level shear associated with a
    60-70+ kt southerly low-level jet.

    Farther south, a bit more discrete/supercellular convection has
    recently developed from Terrell into Val Verde county and vicinity.
    This area has greater low-level moisture in place (mid 60s
    dewpoints) and very strong low-level shear compared to locations
    farther north. The isolated tornado threat should be relatively
    greater across this area in the short term given the more favorable thermodynamics and storm mode. A small eastward extension in area
    for WW 19 may eventually be needed for a small part of this area if
    current storm motions continue.
