   CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 63...
   
   VALID 252229Z - 260000Z
   
   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 63 CONTINUES.
   
   THE TORNADO...LARGE HAIL AND WIND DAMAGE THREAT WILL INCREASE OVER
   THE NEXT FEW HOURS. A TORNADO WATCH WILL NEED TO BE ISSUED FOR PARTS
   OF EAST TX AND CNTRL LA.
   
   SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM CNTRL TX EWD INTO CNTRL
   LA WITH DEWPOINTS SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY IN THE LOWER TO MID 60S F.
   THIS IS CONTRIBUTING TO SBCAPE VALUES ABOVE 1000 J/KG WHICH WILL BE
   SUFFICIENT FOR STRONG UPDRAFTS AS NEW STORMS INITIATE IN EAST TX
   OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THE LATEST WSR-88 VWPS FROM EAST TX SHOW
   STRONG LOW-LEVEL SHEAR PROFILES AND ABOUT 60 KT OF VERTICAL SHEAR.
   THIS WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR A SUPERCELL THREAT AND THIS THREAT
   SHOULD PERSIST. TORNADOES WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ISOLATED STRONG
   TORNADO WILL BE POSSIBLE. LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED WIND DAMAGE WILL
   ALSO ACCOMPANY THE STRONGER CELLS.
