Areas affected...portions of the Big Country region of Texas

Concerning...Tornado Watch 355...356...

Valid 220449Z - 220615Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 355, 356 continues.

SUMMARY...Risk for damaging wind gusts and large hail continues,
along with potential for a tornado.

DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a previously intense supercell
now weakening to some degree, with storms evolving into more of a
cluster, as opposed to a singular/dominant rotating updraft.  Within
the past half hour, this storm/storm cluster produced a measured
gust of 95 MPH at the Rotan mesonet site.  The cluster will continue
moving southeastward, affecting areas between SWW (Sweetwater) and
ABI (Abilene) over the next half hour.

The aforementioned, recent signs of subtle/gradual weakening will
likely continue, as the storms have moved through the greater
instability and now will begin to encounter more stable/convectively
contaminated air over central Texas.  Still, risk for damaging winds
and large hail will continue over the next hour to hour-and-a-half,
before the anticipated weakening to near or below minimal severe
levels occurs.
