Valid 162125Z - 162230Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 68 continues. SUMMARY...Storms developing long the dryline may pose a severe risk in the next couple of hours. Tornado Watch 68 will be extended southward. DISCUSSION...Over the last 30 minutes, several stronger updrafts have emerged along and ahead of the dryline west of Interstate 35 in central TX. Ahead of the developing convection, temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s F with dewpoints in the mid 60s were supporting MLCAPE of 1500-2500 J/kg. Deep-layer shear remains highly favorable for supercells with the FWD 20z special sounding/VAD showing 50-55 kt of effective shear. As storms mature, they may pose a risk for large to very large hail given favorable buoyancy and deep-layer shear. A tornado risk may also evolve if storms are able to remain discrete farther east where low-level shear is stronger. Given the current position and projected trajectories of the new storms, Tornado Watch 68 will be extended southward. ...Lyons/Bunting.. 03/16/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!_JEBfRbj3TBvLpkZOc-z7WIIkGejIXozpsHhmoeHMqtTvNuOtHBrk5wHcGJHKv1dcpCKEbgU3= is5c2w2nmPkszerfwU$ for graphic product...
