The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 158 continues.
SUMMARY…A few supercells should continue to pose a primary threat
of tornadoes across a part of east-central Texas into early evening.
DISCUSSION…The two initially sustained supercells in east-central
TX both produced reportedly brief tornadoes earlier this hour. A
third supercell is trying to intensify upshear of the middle one (in
Robertson County), but appears displaced northwest of convective
outflow from the lead storms. It is plausible that the middle of the
trio will become the more dominant/longer-lasting of the supercells
given its more east-northeastward movement and broader access to
uninterrupted inflow emanating northward from southeast TX. While
low-level shear is more modest with southwest extent, it will remain
adequate for multiple tornadogenesis cycles into early evening.
