   Areas affected...Southern TX Panhandle/TX South Plains

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 240...

   Valid 070447Z - 070615Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 240
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Threat for strong wind gusts and isolated large hail will
   continue across the southern TX Panhandle for at the next 2 hours.

   DISCUSSION...Recent radar imagery has begun to show a bit quicker
   forward progression with the line of storms north of LBB in the
   southern TX Panhandle. Storm motion is still only around 20-25 kt
   but persistent southeasterly low-level flow and strong instability
   downstream suggest the potential for additional
   organization/strengthening remains. Thunderstorms south of LBB are
   organizing along the same outflow and have also recently exhibited
   similar forward propagating characteristics. Large hail remains
   possible, but the primary threat has now shifted to strong wind
   gusts. 

   The downstream air mass continues to undergo nocturnal
   stabilization, but convective inhibition does appear weak enough to
   allow the ongoing storms to continue. The overall expectation is for
   the ongoing storms to persist for at least the next 2 hours as they
   move eastward across the southern TX Panhandle toward northwest TX.
