    Areas affected...portions of north-central and northeast Texas and south-central Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 112146Z - 112315Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...A conditional risk for severe thunderstorms is expected
    along the dryline this afternoon and evening. Supercells with a
    primary risk for of large hail, damaging wind gusts will be
    possible. A weather watch is possible though uncertainty remains
    high.

    DISCUSSION...As of 2130Z, visible imagery showed deepening congestus
    towers along a dryline observed across north central Texas and
    south-central Oklahoma. To the east of the dryline, very warm
    temperatures (80s to 90s F) and deep surface moisture (dewpoints in
    the low to mid 60s F) are supporting 2000-3000 J/kg of MLCAPE. Zonal
    mid-level flow associated with a low amplitude shortwave trough
    crossing the region was enhancing mid-level shear with VWPS and
    mesoanalysis showing 40-50 kt EBWD orthogonal to the dryline. This
    in combination with deep and veering wind profiles will
    conditionally support discrete sueprcellular convection. Very steep
    mid-level lapse rates (~9 C/km) from observed and model soundings
    will favor large hail with any sustained updrafts. Damaging winds
    are also possible given the warm surface temperatures and fairly
    large T/TD spreads. The tornado risk appears lower owing to weaker
    surface flow and some low-level veering. Experimental WOFS guidance
    has shown several discrete updrafts initiating over the last few
    runs and posing a severe risk into this evening. While uncertainty
    remains high, some severe risk appears possible across south-central
    Oklahoma and north Texas this evening. Conditions are being
    monitored for a possible weather watch.

    Areas affected...southern GA into northern FL

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 113...

    Valid 031820Z - 031945Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 113 continues.

    SUMMARY...Damaging gusts and a spin-up tornado will continue to be
    possible across far southwest GA. The severe threat should lessen as
    storms move into southeast GA/northeast FL.

    DISCUSSION...A bowing area of convection shifting east/southeast
    along a warm front across southwest GA near the FL state line will
    continue moving along an instability gradient the next few hours.
    This area of storms recently produced a 56 kt gust at BGE. A threat
    for damaging gusts and a spin-up tornado will continue for another
    1-2 hours. Thereafter, the severe threat is expected to lessen as
    storms move into southeast GA/northeast FL. This downstream airmass
    is characterized by weaker instability, driven by lower dewpoints in
    the mid/upper 50s. While some potential for strong gusts may
    persist, the less favorable boundary-layer and weakening vertical
    shear should limit severe potential downstream from WW 113. At this
    time, a downstream watch is not expected, but trends will continue
    to be monitored.

    Areas affected...parts of western/central Kansas into south central
    Nebraska

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

    Valid 160013Z - 160245Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Rapid thunderstorm development and intensification appears
    probable at some point this evening, most likely by 10 PM-Midnight,
    but perhaps an hour or two earlier. Once storms form, a few
    supercells are likely posing a risk for large hail and tornadoes, a
    couple of which could become strong. Trends are closely being
    monitored for a watch issuance, which seems likely at some point,
    though timing remains a bit unclear.

    DISCUSSION...A significant mid-level trough and embedded low are in
    the process of overspreading the the southern Rockies, with the
    leading edge of stronger mid-level height falls beginning to impact
    the high plains from the Texas Panhandle through the Black Hills
    vicinity. As intensifying southwesterly mid-level flow (in excess
    of 90 kt around 500 mb) noses across the Texas Panhandle vicinity
    through 02-04Z, strengthening mid/upper forcing for ascent likely
    will increasingly interact with a retreating dryline across western Kansas.=20=20

    As boundary-layer moisture, characterized by dew points increasing
    as high as the lower/mid 60s, advects westward beneath steepening
    lapse rates aided by cooling aloft, forecast soundings suggest
    mixed-layer CAPE may increase in excess of 2000 J/kg within at least
    a narrow corridor. By mid to late evening, it appears that this
    will roughly become focused along an axis from near Dodge City KS
    into areas west of Kearney NE.=20=20

    Some increase in high based convective development is already
    evident to the west of the dryline across the Texas Panhandle into
    western Kansas. While guidance has generally been suggestive that
    more substantive convective development and thunderstorm initiation=20
    may not commence until closer to the 03-05Z time frame, it is not
    certain that this will not occur sooner. Of primary concern, once
    storms initiate, intensification may be rapid and include at least
    one or two supercells with potential to produce strong tornadoes, as boundary-layer moistening and destabilization coincide with
    enlarging clockwise-curved hodographs beneath southerly 850 mb flow strengthening in excess of 50 kt.
