   Concerning...Tornado Watch 367...

   Valid 060216Z - 060415Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 367 continues.

   SUMMARY...It is possible that a lingering supercell propagating to
   the east-southeast of the Lubbock vicinity may rapidly weaken and
   dissipate at some point within the next couple of hours.  It is not
   certain that a new severe weather watch will be required, but a
   local extension in time of the current watch may be needed.

   DISCUSSION...Isolated supercell development has been maintained, now
   south and southeast of Lubbock, with a continuing modest
   east-southeastward propagation.  It appears that updraft inflow
   continues to emanate from a seasonably moist boundary-layer
   characterized by moderate to large CAPE.  However, at least some
   contraction in area of the stronger convection appears underway, as
   inhibition continues to increase due to both boundary-layer cooling
   and warming aloft.  At some point within the next couple of hours a
   rapid dissipation of boundary-layer based supercell development
   seems probable, but the extent to which elevated convective
   development persists to its north, across parts of the southern
   Texas Panhandle into western North Texas, remains unclear.
