DISCUSSION...Convective outflow, which currently stretches from Young County TX southward/south-southwestward to Kimble and Edwards County TX, continues to gradually push eastward into north-central/central TX. Updraft intensity in the thunderstorms ongoing along this outflow boundary has remained relatively constant over the past two hours, with downstream airmass destabilization tempered by widespread cloud cover thus far. Northern portion of the line has recently shown a bit more eastward propagation over the past half hour as well as some sharpening of the reflectivity gradient along its leading edge. A mesoscale convective vortex may be developing in this vicinity of the line, which could be contributing to this increased forward propagation, and a few damaging gusts are possible along this portion of the line as it continues eastward. Farther south into central TX, convection within this portion of the line is weaker and less organized along the leading edge of the outflow, with an increasingly disorganized, banded structure with southern extent. However, deep convection has been realized within the warm sector ahead of the line over Hamilton County. Deep-layer shear profiles support the potential for supercells, particularly with any more discrete development, with low-level curvature moderately supportive of tornadoes as well. Modest buoyancy will be limiting factor, but a low-probability potential for a brief tornado or two exists. ...Mosier/Guyer.. 10/25/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6AxqKhFouC0LUD6VMwVmaGtGXkEvaf107WVm3ey-ivz33sxLxgkvFU4_8OsNEMKVYbpoezhDf= PyC-04Uhhje7kgckd8$ for graphic product...
