   AREAS AFFECTED...N-CNTRL TX INTO THE LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY
   
   CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 322...323...
   
   VALID 150302Z - 150430Z
   
   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 322...323...CONTINUES.
   
   THROUGH 04Z...THE GREATEST SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL EXIST IN A
   50-60 NM WIDE CORRIDOR FROM JUST E OF JCT EWD TO NEAR CLL.
   
   AS OF 0245Z...REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY INDICATED A CLUSTER OF STRONG
   TO SEVERE TSTMS /ANCHORED ON THE S END BY A LONG-LIVED SUPERCELL/
   FROM BELL COUNTY SWD INTO TRAVIS COUNTY WITH A GENERAL SYSTEM MOTION
   OF 275/25 KT.  LATEST MESOANALYSIS SUGGESTS THAT THE ANCHOR
   SUPERCELL IS MOVING ALONG A QUASI-STATIONARY BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM
   N OF AUS EWD TO NEAR CLL.  AIR MASS ALONG AND S OF THIS BOUNDARY
   REMAINS WARM AND QUITE MOIST WITH MLCAPES OF 2000-3000 J/KG.  BASED
   ON 00Z BRO/CRP SOUNDINGS...THERE IS SOME QUESTION AS TO HOW LONG
   STORMS WILL PERSIST GIVEN THE OBSERVED STRONG CAP.
   
   THE LEDBETTER PROFILER INDICATES THAT LOW-LEVEL SHEAR IS GRADUALLY
   INCREASING WITH KINEMATIC ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE
   OF SUPERCELL STRUCTURES.  AND AS SUCH...A TORNADO OR TWO REMAINS
   POSSIBLE WITH SUPERCELL MOVING ACROSS WILLIAMSON AND TRAVIS COUNTIES
   IN ADDITION TO LARGE HAIL.  THE DAMAGING WIND THREAT MAY TEND TO
   INCREASE WITH TIME SHOULD ONGOING STORMS BETTER ORGANIZE A COLD
   POOL.
   
   FARTHER TO THE W...ADDITIONAL STRONG/SEVERE STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED 
   FROM LLANO AND BURNETT COUNTIES WWD TO EDWARDS COUNTY TO THE N OF
   OUTFLOW BOUNDARY TRAILING THE ABOVE-MENTIONED STORMS.  LARGE HAIL
   AND LOCALLY DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WILL BE THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER
   THREATS AS THESE STORMS CONTINUE EWD.
