    Areas affected...Northwest TX...Southwestern OK

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 91...

    Valid 042235Z - 050000Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 91
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Severe threat will gradually sag southeast across ww91
    this evening.

    DISCUSSION...Weak, but focused ribbon of low-level warm advection
    continues from northwest TX into south-central OK early this
    evening. As approaching short-wave trough shifts east over the next
    3-6hr, LLJ should strengthen and shift downstream into the Arklatex.
    This will encourage a weak surface wave to evolve into a more
    identifiable surface low over northeast TX. Numerous
    showers/thunderstorm clusters have evolved along this warm-advection
    corridor and will continue to expand in areal coverage along the
    warm front that should remain draped along the Red River. Latest
    MRMS data suggests the strongest updrafts are producing hail
    near/greater than 1 inch. Wind also remains a threat with
    surface-based supercells/bows. Overall threat is expected to
    gradually sag southeast across the watch this evening.

    Areas affected...far northeast MO...west-central and central IL

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 93...

    Valid 311832Z - 312030Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 93 continues.

    SUMMARY...Monitoring near-storm environmental trends (surface
    dewpoints and hodograph modification) through 330pm for increasing
    tornado potential.

    DISCUSSION...A cluster of strong to severe thunderstorms near
    Quincy, IL as of 130pm is quickly moving northeastward on the
    northeastern rim of richer low-level moisture. Surface observation
    trends have shown surface dewpoints near the MS River rising into
    the 60-62 deg F range. Both the 18z Lincoln, IL and Davenport, IA
    raobs showed lowest 100-mb mean mixing ratios near 9.5 g/kg (upper
    50s surface dewpoints). Consequently, the increase from upper 50s
    to lower 60s deg F dewpoints appears to be critical for increasing
    the buoyancy profile per the raob observations and the latest
    RAP/NAM forecast soundings across the discussion area. Equally
    important, the model-based forecast hodographs modify substantially
    during the 130-330pm timeframe and become much more supportive for
    low-level mesocyclone development. If appreciable low-level
    moisture (lower 60s dewpoints) can advect quickly enough
    north-northeastward immediately in advance of the evolving cells,
    consequently, the tornado risk will markedly increase. In the
    meantime, a gradual intensification is expected with large to
    potentially very large hail (1.0-2.5 diameter hail) possible with
    the stronger updrafts that evolve into supercells.

    Areas affected...Portions of central TX

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 94...

    Valid 091712Z - 091845Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 94 continues.

    SUMMARY...A threat for tornadoes, hail, and damaging winds
    continues. The need for and timing of a downstream watch into east
    Texas remains unclear.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms have remain focused along/very near the
    convectively reinforced outflow boundary that is draped southwest to
    northeast across central TX. Mergers/interactions between various
    thunderstorms have led to an overall messy convective mode. Even so,
    the environment remains conditionally favorable for severe
    convection, including supercells, given adequate instability and
    ample deep-layer shear. In the short term, the tornado threat will
    continue to be supported by a 30-40 kt south-southwesterly low-level
    jet providing generally 200-300 m2/s2 of effective SRH. But, the
    best chance for tornadoes will probably occur with any supercell
    that can develop/persist on the southern flank of the ongoing
    convection. Similarly, the hail threat will be tied to a supercell
    being able to remain at least semi-discrete, which remains
    questionable given the ongoing thunderstorm evolution.
    Severe/damaging wind potential may increase through the early
    afternoon if a cluster can consolidate and spread eastward. The need
    for and timing of a downstream watch into east TX remains uncertain,
    as widespread cloud cover is slowing airmass recovery along/near the
    surface boundary in the wake of earlier convection.
