Valid 170344Z - 170515Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 69 continues. SUMMARY...Some threat for hail and locally damaging gusts may spread southeastward late tonight. The need for additional watch issuance is uncertain. DISCUSSION...Multiple clusters of convection have been ongoing across parts of central TX late this evening, with MRMS hail size estimates occasionally approaching severe criteria. While MLCINH will continue to increase with time, MLCAPE of 1500-2000 J/kg and effective shear of around 40-50 kt will continue to support organized storm potential.=20 The risk for damaging gusts and hail may briefly increase as a strong cold front overtakes the ongoing storm clusters, and any clusters than accelerate southeastward and avoid being undercut by the front may continue to pose some severe threat into the overnight hours. At this time, it is unclear whether the coverage and magnitude of the remaining severe threat will necessitate downstream watch issuance, but trends will continue to be monitored for any uptick in storm intensity and organization. ...Dean/Bunting.. 03/17/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5T5KTV3oBUhGQfONpPMAUhXdqHU7-qOGPA33fsjBjncnqw8LXVIhFbhlzbN1169QwgUrDtBhA= Aw44YsltUhs2btguas$ for graphic product...
