   Areas affected...Portions of South Plains into western North Texas

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 190...

   Valid 292055Z - 292230Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 190
   continues.

   SUMMARY...A localized corridor of tornado potential may develop over
   the next few hours. Storms will need to root along/east of the
   surface boundary for this potential to be realized.

   DISCUSSION...A cluster of supercells, some of which have produced
   greater than 2 inch hail, are generally rooted just on the cool side
   of the surface cold front. If storms can remain discrete and track
   with a more eastward motion, warm/moist easterly surface winds are
   in the warm sector. Greater tornado potential would exist should
   that scenario occur. Given at least a modest increase in low-level
   flow this evening, it is possible the boundary moves slightly
   northwestward. Trends will be monitored.
