    Areas affected...Portions of central and northwest Texas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 020045Z - 020245Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated large hail and locally severe gusts are possible
    with initial discrete storms in central/northwest Texas. It is
    unclear if severe coverage will warrant a watch, though trends are
    being monitored.

    DISCUSSION...An isolated thunderstorm has developed ahead of the
    dryline in central/northwest Texas -- where steep boundary-lapse
    rates are intersecting the western edge of the warm/moist sector
    (upper 50s/lower 60s F dewpoints). Weak large-scale forcing for
    ascent and 40-50 kt of cross-boundary 0-6 km shear (per DYX VWP)
    will support discrete supercellular structures, aided by around 2000
    J/kg MLCAPE. Initial storms will mainly pose a risk of isolated
    large hail and locally severe gusts. However, if these storms can
    persist long enough and track eastward into the increasing low-level
    shear/SRH, the tornado threat would also increase. The overall
    coverage and evolution of storms remains unclear, though trends are
    being monitored for a possible watch.
