Areas affected...north-central Texas
Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely
Valid 260331Z - 260500Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent
SUMMARY...A mature supercell continues to track southward in WW144.
A new watch will likely be needed soon.
DISCUSSION...A mature supercell with a history of tornadoes and hail
up to baseball size continues to track southeast near the Ft. Worth
area. This supercell will likely continue given the favorable very
unstable and highly sheared environment across central/eastern
Texas. VAD profiles from KFWS show 0-1km SRH around 350 m2/s2 with
large clock-wise curvature in the low levels. The threat for large
to very large hail and tornadoes will continue with this storm. A
new watch will likely be needed to replace portions of WW144 and
extend further south.
