Areas affected...north-central Texas

Concerning...Tornado Watch 144...

Valid 260103Z - 260200Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 144 continues.

SUMMARY...Tornado threat to continue over the next couple of hours
with a mature supercell across north-central Texas.

DISCUSSION...A mature supercell continues to move southeastward
across north-central Texas across Jack County. This cell has a
history of producing multiple tornadoes and very large hail (up to 3
inches in diameter). Modifying the hodograph from KFDR earlier and
now from KFWS would suggest that the southeastward storm motion is
contributing to around 200-250 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH. This storm is also
moving within a volatile thermodynamic environment, with MLCAPE
around 3000 J/kg and dew points in the upper 60s in a broad swath
ahead of this storm. Radar presence continues to show a strong
mid-level mesocyclone. It is likely that this supercell will
continue to pose a risk for tornadoes, with potential for a strong
tornado. Large hail (some 2-4 inches in diameter) will also remain a
threat.
