    Areas affected...North-Central/Central TX

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 21...

    Valid 130919Z - 131045Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 21
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Threat for strong wind gusts and brief QLCS tornadoes
    continues across north-central and central TX.

    DISCUSSION...Well-organized convective line continues to progress
    quickly eastward across north-central/central TX. The overall
    character of the line appears to have improved over the past hour or
    so, evidenced primarily by the sharpening of the reflectivity
    gradient along the leading edge and the presence of several LEWPs
    within the line across north-central TX. Moisture advection ahead of
    the line has resulted in a more favorable thermodynamic environment. Additionally, southeasterly winds have gradually increased in
    response to the continued tightening of the surface pressure
    gradient. Overall vertical shear remains very strong. Recent KFWS
    VAD sampled over 65 kt of 0-3 km bulk shear and a 0-1 km SRH over
    650 m2/s2. Consequently, the overall environment remains supportive
    of strong wind gusts and brief QLCS tornadoes.

    Farther south across central TX, the line has recently intensified
    as an embedded supercell moved northeastward from
    Menard/Mason/McCulloch counties into San Saba. This embedded storm
    may promote a forward surge within the convective line across
    central TX. Airmass ahead of the line in this area is characterized
    by dewpoints in the upper 60s, minimal convective inhibition, and
    MLCAPE approaching 1000 J/kg. As such, this area is supportive of a
    continue severe threat, with the resulting risk slightly higher than
    areas farther north due to the limited convective inhibition.
