   Mesoscale Discussion 0522
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0853 PM CDT Tue Apr 22 2025

   Areas affected...Much of western Texas

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 159...

   Valid 230153Z - 230330Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 159
   continues.

   SUMMARY...The severe threat should continue for a few more hours.
   Severe wind and hail remain the primary concerns.

   DISCUSSION...Multiple supercells and multicells persist across
   western TX, several of which have a history of producing severe
   hail/gusts. Nocturnal boundary-layer stabilization is underway,
   which will contribute to gradual diminishing buoyancy and increasing
   MLCINH. While the severe threat should wane into the evening, enough
   buoyancy remains to support a continued severe wind/hail threat for
   at least a few more hours.
