   Areas affected...TX Concho Valley into Northwest TX

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 230...

   Valid 061006Z - 061130Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 230
   continues.

   SUMMARY...The severe threat is expected to continue through dawn,
   with potential for hail and severe gusts. A tornado threat also
   remains near the warm front.

   DISCUSSION...Several strong to potentially severe storms are moving
   east-northeast across the Concho Valley region of TX into the Big
   Country. The bulk of the ongoing convection is elevated to the north
   of a warm front that is gradually moving northward across the
   Edwards Plateau and Hill Country. Moderate buoyancy and strong
   deep-layer shear will continue to support a threat for large to very
   large hail and localized severe gusts with any elevated supercells.
   The line segment that earlier organized along a cold front and is
   now moving through San Angelo could pose a somewhat greater threat
   for strong to severe gusts, in addition to hail with embedded
   supercells. 

   Farther southwest, increasing convection has been noted along the
   trailing cold front/outflow into Crockett County, TX. Convection in
   this area is in closer proximity to the warm front and rich surface
   moisture. Low-level hodographs remain sufficiently large to support
   a tornado threat with any discrete or embedded supercell that moves
   within the vicinity of the warm front early this morning.
