    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 367...

    Valid 220018Z - 220145Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 367
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Severe wind and hail remain likely with an ongoing line of
    storms, particularly with embedded supercell structures. A tornado
    remains possible, and an organized MCS wind swath could develop.

    DISCUSSION...Supercell structures have gradually merged into an MCS
    over the past hour. Despite a linear appearance to the broader
    region of storms, the MCS is flanked to the east by a dominant
    supercell with a prevalent mesocyclone. A wet rear-flank downdraft
    associated with this supercell appears to be merging with another
    embedded cold pool surge to the southwest, which suggests that a
    smaller scale but organized swath of severe (50+ kt) gusts may be
    developing. Until then, the stronger storm cores with embedded
    supercells may support severe hail, and a tornado remains possible
    with any longer-lasting mesocyclone. The MCS is preceded by
    3000-4000 J/kg MLCAPE and 50-60 kts of effective bulk shear,
    suggesting that the severe threat may last for several more hours.
    If a prominent bow echo can develop, gusts over 75 mph will also be
    possible.
