   Areas affected...Portions of northwest Texas

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 182...

   Valid 290013Z - 290145Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 182 continues.

   SUMMARY...Supercells will continue to pose a risk of very large
   hail, with an increasing tornado risk into this evening (00-02Z).

   DISCUSSION...Semi-discrete supercell clusters are tracking
   northeastward across northwest Texas this evening. These storms are
   evolving east of a dryline bulge, where temperatures have warmed
   into the 80s amid upper 60s to around 70 dewpoints -- beneath steep
   midlevel lapse rates. Around 40 kt of deep-layer shear (per VWP
   data), characterized by a long/generally straight hodograph, should
   continue to favor a risk of very large hail. However, as the
   low-level jet increases over the next couple hours, clockwise-curved
   low-level hodographs should expand, favoring an increasing tornado
   risk -- especially as storms track northeastward toward the Red
   River through 02Z. Around of 300-400 m2/s2 effective SRH will
   conditionally support a strong tornado with any established
   right-moving supercells that evolve.
