    Areas affected...North central and northwest Texas

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 463...

    Valid 052206Z - 052330Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 463
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Occasional severe outflow gusts of 60-75 mph will be the
    primary severe threat the next few hours, especially across
    northwest Texas. The severe threat may extend into the Midland CWA,
    outside the current watch.

    DISCUSSION...Multicell storm clusters have formed this afternoon
    from the TX South Plains into northwest TX, and a separate area of
    storms is ongoing in northeast TX. The eastern storms will pose a
    threat for occasional wet microbursts as convection develops slowly
    southward on outflow. Larger storm clusters with multiple outflow
    surges are ongoing across northwest TX. The storms are developing southwestward into the zone of strongest surface heating with the
    steepest low-level lapse rates, roughly outlined in the cumulus
    field that extends to about Sweetwater. This zone will encompass
    the relatively greater threat for severe outflow winds with hybrid
    microbursts into this evening, especially with cell and outflow
    mergers.

    Low-level moisture is a bit more limited toward Lubbock and the west
    part of the watch. However, deep inverted-V profiles favor strong
    downdrafts. The more probable area for severe gusts over the next
    couple of hours will be with new storm development immediately
    northeast of and into the Lubbock area where north-south and
    east-west outflow segments merge.
