Areas affected...West Texas
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 021622Z - 021845Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent
SUMMARY...A severe threat is expected to develop by early afternoon
across parts of west Texas. Large hail and isolated wind damage will
be the primary threats. Weather watch issuance may be needed over
the next 1 to 2 hours.
DISCUSSION...Latest surface analysis shows a cold front moving
southward across west Texas extending eastward into the northern
Texas Hill Country. A dryline is located across the Pecos Valley.
South of the front and to the east of the dryline, a moist airmass
is in place with dewpoints generally in the lower to mid 60s F. This
is contributing to moderate instability with the RAP estimating
MLCAPE in the 2500 to 3500 J/kg. For much of the morning, the
airmass has been capped. However, the RAP is suggesting that the cap
has weakened across west Texas over the last hour where the RAP is
analyzing strong low-level convergence. There is very little
large-scale ascent across west Texas which introduces uncertainty
concerning how long it will take for convective initiation to take
place. The current thinking is that a few storms will develop by
1800Z. In addition to the moderate instability and steep mid-level
lapse rates, the San Angelo WSR-88D VWP has 40 kt of 0-6 km shear
suggesting supercells with large hail will be possible. A few
damaging wind gusts may also occur especially as low-level lapse
rates steepen during the early to mid afternoon.
