    Areas affected...Parts of central/northeast TX into extreme
    northwest LA/southwest AR

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 90...

    Valid 082255Z - 090030Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 90 continues.

    SUMMARY...The short-term severe threat remains uncertain, but a
    couple stronger supercells and/or storm clusters could evolve with
    time this evening, with all severe hazards possible.

    DISCUSSION...Convection has continued to spread northward from
    central into northeast TX, along the northern periphery of deeper
    returning low-level moisture. Despite MLCAPE in excess of 1500 J/kg
    and favorable deep-layer shear, convection has struggled to remain
    organized thus far, possibly due to a lack of stronger low-level
    flow and the impacts of northward-moving outflow. However, some
    short-term threat for hail and gusty winds may move north of WW 90
    early this evening.=20

    As the low-level jet strengthens a little later this evening,
    ongoing convection may become more organized, with potential for a
    stronger supercell or two and/or an upscale growing cluster to
    develop with time. Should this occur, some increase in the tornado
    threat would be possible, in addition to an ongoing threat for hail
    and localized damaging gusts.=20

    Depending on short-term convective trends, WW 90 may need to be
    expanded to the north and west to cover the severe threat.
    Otherwise, there is some potential for additional watch issuance
    across parts of central/northeast TX later this evening, depending
    on the evolution of both ongoing convection and potential storm
    development to the west.
