   Areas affected...the Transpecos region of western Texas

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 179...

   Valid 032327Z - 040130Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 179
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Isolated severe storms continue to pose a risk for very
   large hail and damaging wind gusts over portions of the Transpecos
   region of western Texas.

   DISCUSSION...Modest low-level moisture is indicated across parts of
   the Transpecos region east of the dryline, which is supporting 1000
   to 2000 J/kg mixed-layer CAPE.  This has been sufficient -- in
   tandem with the veering winds with height/ample shear across this
   region -- to support development of isolated supercell storms
   roughly along the Pecos Valley area.  

   The two most prominent storms -- one in eastern Pecos County and the
   other near the Terrell/Crockett County line -- continue to exhibit
   radar indications of very large hail production.  Locally damaging
   wind gusts are also possible with these storms, given the relatively
   deep mixed layer.  Storms will likely continue over the next couple
   of hours, with potential for additional/isolated updraft
   development.
