    Areas affected...north-central Texas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely=20

    Valid 260331Z - 260500Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...A mature supercell continues to track southward in WW144.
    A new watch will likely be needed soon.

    DISCUSSION...A mature supercell with a history of tornadoes and hail
    up to baseball size continues to track southeast near the Ft. Worth
    area. This supercell will likely continue given the favorable very
    unstable and highly sheared environment across central/eastern
    Texas. VAD profiles from KFWS show 0-1km SRH around 350 m2/s2 with
    large clock-wise curvature in the low levels. The threat for large
    to very large hail and tornadoes will continue with this storm. A
    new watch will likely be needed to replace portions of WW144 and
    extend further south.
