    Areas affected...portions of northeastern North Carolina and far
    southeastern Virginia

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 104...

    Valid 072322Z - 080045Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 104 continues.

    SUMMARY...The risk for damaging wind gusts and isolated hail may
    continue for another hour or two across parts of eastern North
    Carolina and far southeastern Virginia. Storms are expected to
    gradually weaken and move offshore by 00-01z.

    DISCUSSION...As of 2315Z, regional radar was observing a cluster of strong/severe storms in the vicinity of the NC/VA border. Over the
    last several hours, reports of strong winds and large hail have
    occurred with this cluster ahead of a southward surging composite
    outflow boundary/cold front. Ahead of this boundary, warm and
    unstable surface conditions (MLCAPE 1500-2000 J/kg) may continue to
    support a severe risk as convection approaches the Atlantic Coast.
    It remains unclear the magnitude of this risk, given the propensity
    for undercutting by the composite outflow/front and more stable
    conditions near the shore. While radar and lightning trends have
    shown a general decrease in convective coverage/intensity over the
    last 30-45 min, the magnitude of buoyancy and 40-50 kts of effective
    shear may still support a risk for damaging gusts and occasional
    hail with organized line segments/clusters before they move offshore
    later this evening.

    Areas affected...North/Central TX

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 110...

    Valid 030021Z - 030215Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 110 continues.

    SUMMARY...Threat for severe thunderstorms capable of all severe
    hazards, including tornadoes and very large hail, remain possible.
    Localized area of greater tornado risk likely exists across central
    Texas for the next hour or two.

    DISCUSSION...Discrete supercells continue to move
    eastward/southeastward across north/central TX this evening. The
    southernmost pair of supercells, over Bosque/Hill and Coryell/Bell
    Counties, is upstream of a narrow corridor of more favorable
    low-level moisture and slightly stronger southeasterly surface
    winds. Recent surface observations along I-35 show dewpoints in the
    upper 60s to low 70s amid temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s.
    Recent mesoanalysis estimates effective-layer STP is 4 to 5 in this
    region. As a result, additional storm intensification/organization
    is possible as the ongoing supercells enter this region. All severe
    hazards are possible, including very large hail and tornadoes.

    A more linear storm mode exists farther north over Grayson, Denton,
    and Collin counties, where storms have organized along the outflow
    boundary. Ample downstream buoyancy, as well as updraft augmentation
    due to interaction with the warm front, suggests these storms will
    persist downstream. Primary threats are damaging gusts and hail,
    although an embedded tornado is also possible on the southern end of
    the line where surface-based parcels are more probable.

    Areas affected...Northwest Texas into the Permian Basin

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely=20

    Valid 151852Z - 151945Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Strong thunderstorms are expected to develop between 1930Z
    and 2030Z across northwest Texas and vicinity.

    DISCUSSION...Extensive mid and upper-level cloud cover has limited
    heating across northwest Texas for much of the day. However, south
    of these thicker clouds, more substantial heating has occurred with temperatures in the mid-to-upper 80s in the Concho Valley. Low-level
    moisture advection also continues across the area with more rich
    moisture arriving earlier this afternoon. This, combined with weak
    cooling aloft, will lead to additional destabilization through the afternoon.=20

    Satellite indicates the environment remains capped, but SPC
    mesoanalysis shows inhibition starting to weaken, a trend which will
    continue over the next 1 to 2 hours. The first wave of ascent can be
    seen on water vapor approaching the New Mexico/Texas border. As this overspreads the dryline, localized breaching of the CAP should be
    sufficient for storm development where temperatures have warmed in
    to the mid to upper 80s. This timing matches preferred 12Z CAM
    guidance (NSSL MPAS) and the 17Z WoFS. Moderate to strong
    instability combined with 60+ knots of effective shear will support
    supercells, with an initial threat for large hail (up to baseball
    size) and severe wind gusts (up to 75 mph). However, by later this
    evening, the tornado threat will increase as the low-level jet
    intensifies and STP values increase to 2 to 3 (per 17Z WoFS). A
    tornado watch will be needed in the next 1 to 2 hours.
