   Areas affected...northeast Texas into the ArkLaTex vicinity

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 714...

   Valid 261912Z - 262115Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 714
   continues.

   SUMMARY...The risk for severe wind and hail continues across
   northeast Texas and the ArkLaTex vicinity. Potential may increase by
   21-00z/3-6 pm CST.

   DISCUSSION...Strong thunderstorms will continue to track northeast
   across the region through late afternoon. While strong vertical
   shear is resulting in some organized line segments and more
   semi-discrete cells, convection has struggled to maintain intensity
   given the weak thermodynamic environment. Nevertheless, some
   additional destabilization may occur over the next couple of hours
   while the low-level jet increases with eastward extent. Isolated
   large hail to 1.75 inch diameter and gusts to 65 mph still remains
   possible with elevated convection into early evening.
