Areas affected...North Central TX

Concerning...Tornado Watch 178...

Valid 290228Z - 290430Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 178 continues.

SUMMARY...Supercells capable of very large hail will continue to
track southeastward.

DISCUSSION...Two intense supercells continue to affect parts of
north-central TX, over Hill/Bosque/Limestone counties. This cluster
of storms has a long history of significant hail damage during the
past few hours. CAPE values remain very high, with steep lapse
rates and strong deep layer shear indicated on the 00z FWD sounding.
However, cap strength is increasing as the boundary layer slowly
cools. This is likely to lead to some weakening over the next
couple of hours. Nevertheless, some severe risk will likely persist
until at least midnight.
