Areas affected...TX Permian Basin vicinity

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

Valid 090359Z - 090630Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorm development will be possible
overnight, with a threat of large hail.

DISCUSSION...Low-level moisture continues to stream northwestward
late this evening into portions of the TX Permian Basin region.
Meanwhile, WV and IR imagery suggests that ascent related to the
deep upper-level trough over the Southwest is beginning to
overspread the region. While timing remains uncertain, storm
development will become increasingly likely overnight, especially
near/north of a southward-moving cold front. Steep midlevel lapse
rates, MUCAPE increasing into the 1000-2000 J/kg range, and
effective shear of 40+ kts will support elevated supercell
potential, with an attendant threat of large hail in the 1.5 - 2
inch diameter range. 

Severe-storm coverage remains somewhat uncertain overnight and could
remain rather isolated, but eventual watch issuance is possible
given the potential for elevated supercells.
