Valid 180536Z - 180730Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 709 continues. SUMMARY...Strong storms continue in a frontal band crossing western Texas, where damaging winds and marginal hail are possible. DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a broken band of locally vigorous convection occurring ahead of a cold front organizing/moving eastward across far West Texas at this time. Very strong flow aloft -- including winds in excess of 50 kt just 1km AGL -- continues to support local storm organization, including bowing segments at least transiently organizing within the convective band. At this time, weak instability remains a limiting factor, in terms of more robust severe risk. With that said, a surface warm front continues shifting rapidly northward/northwestward across central Texas, at the leading edge of a high theta-e (low 70s dewpoints) airmass. As storms advance slowly eastward, and higher theta-e air continues advecting northwestward, an eventual uptick in risk is expected. ...Goss.. 11/18/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!_KDitR7wni9ZipmSprbZni5YgY8sGTLTsELlusdnG-6Q_E0v1MYPdxnCK_VW3t8Ea3TeZOvNO= mpDVGPDnYT_C9vt4mo$ for graphic product...
