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.
