   Areas affected...portions of the TX Panhandle and South Plains east
   into southwestern OK/northern and central TX

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 100...

   Valid 112237Z - 120030Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 100 continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe risk -- including potential for a couple of
   tornadoes -- continues, and will expand gradually eastward with
   time.  A new WW will likely be needed to include North Texas in the
   next hour or so.

   DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows storms gradually increasing in
   coverage east of a Texas Panhandle/South Plains dryline, within a
   moist/moderately unstable environment.  Shear remains favorable for
   organized/rotating storms, with moderately strong mid-level
   west-southwesterlies atop southerly low-level flow that will
   gradually increase this evening.

   Storms are increasing in intensity at this time in southeast
   portions of the Texas Panhandle, where large hail potential is
   evident in the short term.  Meanwhile, a few supercell storms are
   moving eastward across western North Texas north/northwest of
   Abilene, along with attendant severe risk.  With these storms
   beginning to approach eastern fringes of the watch, a new WW will
   likely be needed east of the existing one -- as convection likely
   increases in coverage over the next several hours.
