   Areas affected...Parts of the Texas South Plains/Big Country and
   north central Texas

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 296...

   Valid 230616Z - 230745Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 296
   continues.

   SUMMARY...A line of intense thunderstorms overspreading the region
   will probably continue to pose a risk for severe wind gusts into the
   4-6 AM CDT time frame, before gradually diminishing.  A new severe
   weather watch will be issued to the southeast of Severe Thunderstorm
   Watch 296 shortly.

   DISCUSSION...A fairly significant convectively generated surface
   cold pool, with 2-5 mb 2-hourly surface pressure rises, continues to
   advance southeastward into the Texas Big Country and South Plains. 
   Forward propagation is a relatively modest 30 kt or so, but strong
   to severe gusts continue to be recorded in association with it, and
   lift along its leading edge is maintaining intensity to the the
   convection based on latest radar, lightning and satellite imagery.
   Based on its current strength, this seems likely to persist at least
   another several hours, before tending to gradually weaken in the
   absence of more favorable larger-scale forcing for ascent.
