Areas affected...portions of central and northwestern Texas and
adjacent southwestern Oklahoma

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

Valid 071826Z - 071930Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...Risk for hail locally -- in the 1" to 1.75" range -- is
expected to very gradually increase over the next few hours.  WW
issuance is not anticipated in the short term, though may be
considered if storms increase more rapidly in coverage/intensity
than currently anticipated.

DISCUSSION...Latest water vapor loop and mid-level height field
indicates a well-defined low centered over Arizona.  Downstream,
across the southern High Plains, strong/diffluent flow is in place
-- supporting a zone of favorable/enhanced low-level warm
advection/southeasterly flow atop a relatively cool/stable boundary
layer.

Within this zone of favorable quasi-geostrophic ascent, a gradual
ramp-up in storm coverage and intensity has been observed over the
past hour or so, with a couple of strong cells now over the western
North Texas/Big Country region.  With ample elevated CAPE indicated
(averaging 750 to 1250 J/kg), and veering/increasing flow through
the cloud-bearing layer, organized storms -- a few with mid-level
rotation -- are suggested by this background environment.  While the
overall risk does not warrant serious WW consideration at this time,
we will continue to closely monitor what should be a gradual ramp-up
in storm coverage over the next several hours.
