   Areas affected...South-central into east-central TX

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 230...

   Valid 061111Z - 061415Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 230
   continues.

   SUMMARY...An increase in the tornado threat is expected with time
   this morning. Tornado Watch issuance is likely later this morning,
   though timing is uncertain.

   DISCUSSION...Some increase in convection has recently been noted
   across parts of the TX Hill Country, in close proximity to a surface
   warm front that is expected to lift northward through the morning
   across parts of south-central into east-central TX. Favorable
   deep-layer shear and low-level SRH (as noted on the KEWX VWP) will
   result in supercell potential through the morning, especially as the
   warm front moves northward and rich low-level moisture continues to
   support moderate to locally strong buoyancy. 

   Timing of additional supercell development and maturation within the
   warm-advection regime remains somewhat uncertain, as does the
   potential influence of an ongoing eastward-moving storm cluster near
   San Angelo. However, as the threat for surface-based supercells
   increases, a corresponding increase in the tornado threat is
   expected with time this morning, in addition to potential for large
   hail and locally damaging winds. A Tornado Watch will likely be
   needed later this morning, though timing is uncertain.
