Although weather watch issuance is unlikely, the need for a watch still remains possible. DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery shows a severe short line segment about 80 statute miles to the south-southeast of Del Rio. This line appears to be associated with a subtle shortwave trough moving eastward across the Rio Grande Valley, evident on water vapor imagery. The line is located along the western edge of moderate instability and will move into increasing instability over the next few hours. The latest WSR-88D VWP from Del Rio has effective shear near 55 knots and some speed shear in the mid-levels. While effective shear will be adequate for a severe threat, a weak inversion does exist near the surface according to RAP forecast soundings. For this reason and frontal-undercutting, the storms could remain elevated. The severe threat is expected to continue to be isolated. Large hail and wind damage will be the primary threats, as the storms move eastward across south-central Texas over the next few hours. ...Broyles/Edwards.. 03/17/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-n5zCkt7jyHG8YQaMnHiZF5KcfGEpYFN0EdjzF90vzExCdc-sWLsGAoEMuNLIW8gJvvluS0iX= UKepXY0weJXxj12s9k$ for graphic product...
