CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 252215Z - 252315Z

A HIGHLY CONDITIONAL THREAT OF SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF LARGE HAIL AND
DMGG WINDS IS POSSIBLE OVER PORTIONS OF CNTRL/SERN TX. SHOULD
CONVECTION APPEAR MORE IMMINENT...A WW MAY BECOME NECESSARY.

VISIBLE IMAGERY REFLECTS AN INCREASING CU FIELD FROM AUSTIN TO NEAR
HEARNE TX WHERE SURFACE OBS SHOW MORE FAVORABLE SURFACE CONVERGENCE
IN ASSOCIATION WITH A DRYLINE. VERY STRONG DIURNAL HEATING HAS LED
TO HOT SURFACE TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S...WHICH MAY BE
SUFFICIENT TO OVERCOME REMAINING CONVECTIVE INHIBITION. WITH THE
STRONGEST UPPER FORCING REMAINING NORTH OF THE AREA...DEVELOPMENT OF
STORMS MAY BE MORE ISOLATED IN NATURE. HOWEVER...SHOULD STORMS
EVOLVE...VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR IN EXCESS OF 50
KT WILL BE CONDUCIVE TO LARGE HAIL PRODUCTION.
