    Areas affected...Parts of northwest into central TX

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

    Valid 161128Z - 161330Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...An increase in the severe wind/hail threat is possible
    through the morning. Watch issuance is possible, though timing is
    uncertain.

    DISCUSSION...A long-lived storm cluster and its attendant cold pool
    have begun propagating more to the southeast this morning across
    northwest TX, with occasional strong to severe gusts noted along the
    gust front. Meanwhile, rich low-level moisture currently confined to
    from the Edwards Plateau region into central/south TX is expected to
    quickly advect northward through the morning, aided by a southerly
    low-level jet. This could eventually lead to renewed storm
    development along and north of the southeastward-moving outflow, as
    MUCAPE increases to near/above 2000 J/kg.=20

    While convection through much of the morning will likely remain
    somewhat elevated, gradually increasing midlevel flow in advance of
    an approaching shortwave trough will support sufficient effective
    shear for storm organization. An elevated supercell or two will be
    possible, with an attendant threat of hail and localized severe
    gusts. Some additional upscale growth will be possible, with an MCS
    potentially propagating southeastward along the instability gradient
    later today.=20

    A more substantial severe threat is expected later today across
    parts of central TX. Onset/timing of the higher-end severe potential
    remains somewhat uncertain, but watch issuance will become
    increasingly possible through the morning.
