   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 251
   continues.

   SUMMARY...A cluster of storms may persist for the next hour or two
   near Lubbock, TX with large hail and damaging winds possible. A
   local watch extension may be necessary.

   DISCUSSION...Storms have continued to form off the western edge of
   an outflow boundary from convection that pushed south-southeast
   across the Texas South Plains this evening. As the dryline has
   slowly started to retreat, the area for potential severe storms has
   expanded westward, which has allowed these storms to develop and
   intensify. The transition from transient supercellular convection to
   multicellular, more outflow dominant convection has occurred over
   the last hour as daytime heating waned. This trend is likely to
   continue, but severe winds/hail are still possible over the next
   hour and possibly slightly longer. The low level jet is forecast to
   strengthen later tonight, but these storms may not last long enough
   to be influenced. A local watch extension (in time) may be necessary
   past 03z, but a new watch is unlikely.
