Areas affected...portions of central Texas
Concerning...Tornado Watch 149...
Valid 200127Z - 200300Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 149 continues.
SUMMARY...An uptick in the tornado threat may be underway over
southern portions of Tornado Watch 149. The extent of the tornado
threat is dependent on further intensification of warm-sector
supercells. A strong tornado is possible.
DISCUSSION...Multiple small supercells have gradually organized over
the past couple of hours over portions of central TX within the warm
sector. KFWS NEXRAD data shows a likely low-level mesocyclone
becoming established with a more dominant supercell in Erath County.
These storms are intensifying amid a moist and unstable
surface-based airmass, along the western periphery of an
intensifying low-level jet. Given strong low-level shear in place,
any further intensification with these storms may support tornado
development. Some of the latest WoFs guidance also indicates the
potential for increased low-level rotation with these storms over
the next few hours.
