VALID 082239Z - 090045Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 148
CONTINUES.

SUMMARY...THE SEVERE HAIL CONTINUES ACROSS WW 148... WITH AN
INCREASING DAMAGING WIND THREAT EMERGING WITH ANY STORMS THAT CAN
CONGEAL INTO LINES/LEWPS.

DISCUSSION...THE SEVERE THREAT CONTINUES ACROSS WW 148.  RADAR
MOSAIC IMAGERY INDICATES A CONTINUATION OF SCATTERED STRONG TO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE WATCH ATTM.  HAIL HAS BEEN THE
PRIMARY THREAT WITH THESE STORMS GIVEN MODERATE INSTABILITY...STEEP
LOW/MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...AND 35-40 KNOT DEEP SHEAR.  LOW-LEVEL
SHEAR HAS BEEN A BIT WEAK...LEADING TO THE OUTFLOW-DOMINATED NATURE
OF THE STORMS /ESPECIALLY IN WESTERN AND CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE
WATCH/.  A FEW OF THE STORMS HAVE CONGEALED INTO SMALL
LINES...ESPECIALLY IN SHACKLEFORD/CALLAHAN AND ALSO TOM GREEN/COKE
COUNTIES.  OBSERVATIONAL AND HIGH-RES GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS
TREND SHOULD CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING...WITH A DAMAGING WIND THREAT
INCREASING WITH TIME PARTICULARLY ACROSS EASTERN/NORTHEASTERN
PORTIONS OF THE WATCH.
