   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0347 PM CDT Sun Apr 28 2024

   Areas affected...a part of east-central TX

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 158...

   Valid 282047Z - 282145Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 158 continues.

   SUMMARY...A few supercells should continue to pose a primary threat
   of tornadoes across a part of east-central Texas into early evening.

   DISCUSSION...The two initially sustained supercells in east-central
   TX both produced reportedly brief tornadoes earlier this hour. A
   third supercell is trying to intensify upshear of the middle one (in
   Robertson County), but appears displaced northwest of convective
   outflow from the lead storms. It is plausible that the middle of the
   trio will become the more dominant/longer-lasting of the supercells
   given its more east-northeastward movement and broader access to
   uninterrupted inflow emanating northward from southeast TX. While
   low-level shear is more modest with southwest extent, it will remain
   adequate for multiple tornadogenesis cycles into early evening.
