    Areas affected...Southern High Plains

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 346...

    Valid 292342Z - 300115Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 346
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Scattered severe thunderstorms will continue this evening.

    DISCUSSION...A reservoir of strong instability currently resides
    across west central TX where upwards of 3000 J/kg MLCAPE exists.
    Over the last few hours, scattered convection has gradually
    increased in areal coverage within convergent low-level
    northeasterly flow, over southeast NM into portions of the TX South
    Plains, along and just behind a pronounced cold front. This activity
    appears to be partly supported by a weak mid-level short-wave trough
    that will track east-southeast later this evening. While low-level
    response is not particularly strong ahead of this feature, ongoing
    convection should propagate east into the aforementioned
    high-instability air mass. Current thinking is robust thunderstorms
    may spread just east of ww0346, and an eastward extension appears
    warranted across SJT CWA. Very large hail has been noted with a
    supercell that is digging southeast across Dawson County TX, and
    this appears to be the primary threat into the mid-evening hours.
