(INCLUDING THE SAN ANTONIO METROPOLITAN AREA) TO BLANCO AND BURNET TIL 3 AM...

AT 1105 PM THIS EVENING...A NEARLY SOLID LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS STRETCHED FROM
NEAR MASON TO JUNCTION TO ROCKSPRINGS TO JUST NORTHWEST OF DEL RIO.  THE LINE
WAS MOVING TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST AT 40 MILES AN HOUR.

THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPORTS OR INDICATIONS OF SEVERE WEATHER IN THIS LINE YET.
HOWEVER...IT IS NOW MOVING INTO A WARMER...MORE MOIST AND MUCH MORE UNSTABLE
AIR...AND PORTIONS OF THE LINE COULD BECOME SEVERE VERY QUICKLY.  LARGE HAIL
WILL BE A THREAT ONCE AGAIN AS THIS LINE ENTERS SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS.  THERE IS
ALSO A THREAT OF DAMAGING WIND...SINCE THE MOVEMENT OF THE STORMS IS 40 MILES
PER HOUR.  AND...BY THE VERY NATURE OF THESE STORMS...HEAVY RAIN AND VERY
FREQUENT AND DANGEROUS LIGHTNING ARE INEVITABLE.  EVERYONE IN AND NEAR THE
WATCH AREA SHOULD REMAIN AWARE OF THIS POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER.

FREQUENT AND DANGEROUS LIGHTNING.
