    Areas affected...Far North-Central TX

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 308...

    Valid 260316Z - 260415Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 308 continues.

    SUMMARY...An intense supercell capable of producing a strong tornado
    is expected to continue for at least the next hour over far
    north-central Texas.

    DISCUSSION...Recent radar imagery has shown an notable increase in
    intensity of the supercell over Montague and Cooke County in far
    north-central Texas. Echo tops now over 60 kft, with a very strong
    low-level circulation observed as well. Recent mesoanalysis
    estimates that effective helicity is over 800 m2/s2 and effective
    shear is over 70 kt near this supercell. This intense shear coupled
    with very strong buoyancy (i.e. 4500 J/kg) is resulting in STP
    values from 16 to 18. Given the supercellular mode, a strong tornado
    is possible within this environment. An extension in time for
    Tornado Watch 308 may be needed.
