   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 204...

   Valid 260310Z - 260415Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 204
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Threat for isolated large hail and downburst winds will
   persist next couple hours across portions of west TX. WW 204 is
   scheduled to expire at 04Z, but a local extension might be needed
   for a portion of the WW.

   DISCUSSION...Storms continue developing along the east-west oriented
   boundary across the northern TX Panhandle with some backbuilding
   noted with the westernmost storm. These storms remain organized as
   supercells with hail in excess of 2.5 inches recently reported. The
   surface layer is stabilizing, and convective inhibition is
   increasing. However, forcing associated with a strengthening
   southerly low-level jet interacting with the boundary might help to
   sustain these storms for another 1-2 hours. 

   Farther south, a cluster of widely scattered storms persist in the
   area between Lubbock and Abilene. Tendency has been for these storms
   to expand northeastward along an outflow boundary, but general trend
   has been for most of this activity to weaken slightly. It is
   probable that at least a couple of storms will persist beyond 04Z,
   especially the activity just south of Abilene that appears to be
   more organized.
