   Mesoscale Discussion 0191
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1111 PM CDT Tue Mar 17 2020

   Areas affected...West-central and North-central Texas

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 53...

   Valid 180411Z - 180445Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 53
   continues.

   SUMMARY...An isolated severe threat will likely gradually diminish
   across west-central and north-central Texas over the next hour or
   two. Wind damage and hail will be the primary threats. New weather
   watch issuance is not expected.

   DISCUSSION...A couple line segments are currently ongoing from east
   of Midland to west of Fort Worth. The latter is located along the
   northern edge of instability near and to the north of a
   quasi-stationary front. The southern part of the line may be
   surface-based with a isolated wind damage threat but to the north of
   the front, the storms should be elevated. Further southwest, the
   storms to the east of Midland are located near a surface trough.
   These storms should become increasingly elevated as surface
   temperatures cool late this evening. Overall, a gradual downtrend is
   expected with convection across the southern Plains. Weather Watch
   53 may be allowed to expire but a local extension in time can not be
   ruled out.
