AREAS AFFECTED...W TX...FAR SW OK

CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 701...

VALID 212317Z - 220115Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 701
CONTINUES.

AN UPPER SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL CONTINUE NEWD ACROSS W TX...WITH
INCREASING SLY LLJ AND COOLING ALOFT. STORMS ACROSS THE TX S PLAINS
NEAR THE WEAK LOW PRESSURE TROUGH AND S OF THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
ACROSS THE TX PANHANDLE HAVE BECOME MORE LINEAR WITH TIME...ORIENTED
NEARLY PARALLEL TO THE DEEP LAYER SHEAR VECTORS. SOME HAIL...BUT
ALSO GUSTY WINDS ARE LIKELY WITH THIS ACTIVITY AS IT CONTINUES
SLOWLY EWD.

TO THE S INTO THE TRANSPECOS REGION...HODOGRAPHS ARE MORE FAVORABLE
FOR SUPERCELLS AS FLOW ALOFT REMAINS LESS MERIDIONAL.
THEREFORE...THE GREATEST SEVERE HAIL THREAT WILL BE IN THIS AREA.
HOWEVER...LOSS OF HEATING WILL RESULT IN SOME STABILIZATION
ESPECIALLY GIVEN MARGINAL BOUNDARY LAYER DEWPOINTS ONLY IN THE 50S
F. THIS WILL ACT TO WEAKEN STORMS WITH TIME...AND IT IS UNCLEAR
WHETHER A NEW WW WILL BE REQUIRED E OF WW 701. CONDITIONS WILL
CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED FOR THIS POSSIBILITY.
