THREAT FOR ISOLATED DAMAGING GUSTS...MRGLLY SVR HAIL AND PERHAPS
SHORT-LIVED TORNADIC SPIN-UP ASSOCIATED WITH LEWP/BOW CIRCULATION --
HAS DEVELOPED OVER PORTIONS N-CENTRAL TX...ESPECIALLY FROM CENTRAL
PORTIONS METROPLEX EWD ACROSS PORTIONS COLLIN/DALLAS/ROCKWALL
COUNTIES ENEWD TOWARD MORRIS/BOWIE/WOOD/FRANKLIN COUNTIES.
ASSOCIATED BAND OF TSTMS -- EVIDENT AT 1230Z FROM MILLS TO COLLIN
COUNTIES -- IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTENSIFYING AS IT MOVES EWD
INTO VERY MOIST LOW LEVEL AIR MASS WITH SFC DEW POINTS NEAR 70
F...IN ENVIRONMENT OF FAVORABLE SHEAR AND BUOYANCY. 12Z FWD RAOB --
LAUNCHED IN IMMEDIATE PRE-STORM ENVIRONMENT -- APPEARS QUITE
REPRESENTATIVE OF NRN END OF MOISTURE PLUME AND OF KINEMATIC
PROFILES WITH MLCAPE AROUND 2300 J/KG...MLCAPE APCHG 2000 J/KG...AND
JUST ENOUGH SFC THETAE TO BASE EFFECTIVE INFLOW PARCEL AT GROUND
LEVEL.
SFC MESOANALYSIS SHOWS OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM EARLIER MCS
ACTIVITY...EXTENDING FROM METROPLEX ROUGHLY ENEWD INVOF I-30 TOWARD
TXK. THIS BOUNDARY HAS BECOME QUASISTATIONARY...ALONG AND E OF

HODOGRAPHS...EFFECTIVE SHEAR MAGNITUDES UP TO 60 KT ARE ANALYZED
OVER THIS REGION...IN SUPPORT OF POTENTIAL FOR MESOCYCLONE
