   Areas affected...portions of north west Texas

   Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely 

   Valid 232355Z - 240100Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

   SUMMARY...Severe threat to continue downstream of WW233. A watch
   will likely be needed within the next hour.

   DISCUSSION...Storms ongoing in WW233 are starting to grow upscale
   along developing outflow and are expected to continue before moving
   southeast into portions of north-west Texas. As this occurs, threat
   will gradually transition from hail to damaging winds. Mostly sunny
   skies and daytime heating and dew points in the 60s have supported
   an axis of MLCAPE around 2000-2500 J/kg, which will allow
   maintenance and upscale growth of ongoing storms well downstream
   through the evening. A watch southeast of WW233 will be needed
   within the next hour.
