   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 49 continues.

   SUMMARY...Ongoing supercells will pose a large hail/brief tornado
   threat over the next 2 to 3 hours.

   DISCUSSION...A well-developed supercell in northwest Reeves county
   currently has MESH estimates of 2+ inch hail. An additional
   supercell is developing south of this initial supercell west of
   Pecos. A downstream environment of 750 to 1000 J/kg MUCAPE and
   effective shear of 70+ kts should support these storms continuing
   eastward for a few more hours. The window for surface based storms
   will likely be limited as the boundary layer is increasingly cool
   with eastward extent. Low-level flow is weak on the 00Z MAF RAOB
   (<20 kts below 700mb), but has significant cyclonic curvature.
   Therefore, a brief tornado threat will likely exist for the next
   hour or so with a large hail threat continuing thereafter.
