AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF CNTRL/ERN TX

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 133...135...

VALID 032138Z - 032245Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 133...135...CONTINUES.

MONITORING TSTM DEVELOPMENT W OF AUS AND S OF WW 133/135 FOR AN
ADDITIONAL WW...BUT UNCERTAINTY DOES EXIST IN THE SUSTAINABILITY OF
TSTMS S THE ONGOING WW.

21Z SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACED A COMPOSITE COLD FRONT/OUTFLOW FROM 30 E
DAL TO 10 W AUS. A COUPLE OF TSTMS HAVE FORMED BEHIND THE FRONT
AROUND 25 W AUS...LIKELY AIDED IN DEVELOPMENT BY AN APPARENT GRAVITY
WAVE EMANATING SWD FROM THE MCS OVER NERN TX PER VISIBLE SATELLITE
IMAGERY. A WEAK MESOSCALE CIRCULATION IS ALSO APPARENT IN THE CU
FIELD CLOSER TO THE MIDDLE TX COASTAL PLAIN WHICH IS LIKELY
MITIGATING STRONGER CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT SW OF AUS. ALTHOUGH
THE WARM SECTOR IS STRONGLY UNSTABLE...THE SUSTAINABILITY OF
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT SW OF THE ONGOING WW/S IS UNCERTAIN. SHOULD
TSTMS BE MAINTAINED...PRIMARY RISKS SHOULD BE LARGE HAIL GIVEN
DEEP-LAYER SHEAR VECTOR ROUGHLY PARALLEL TO THE FRONT AND WEAK
LOW-LEVEL SHEAR PER THE GRK VWP.

Update on the line:

[Poltracker]

Tornado passed just south of brother's house in Rockwall (south of I-30). He got some damaging hail and is griping about the dents in his cars. Said it was pretty bad for a while there.

Will keep him in our prayers.

Update near Sulfur Springs

[jasons2k]

This is going to be a long night...also Central TX radar shows outflow from the north colliding with the dryline...interesting stuff.

[Andrew]

The line around the Austin area has exploded with recent boundary that pushed through but it should be interesting if the storms stay together afterwords or die off relatively quickly.
