TEXARKANA...DALLAS/FT WORTH...LUFKIN...TYLER/LONGVIEW...

AT NOONTIME...THE STRONG UPPER LEVEL STORM WAS LOCATED OVER WESTERN
NEW MEXICO AND MOVING EASTWARD.  RICH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE OVER SOUTH
TEXAS CONTINUES TO ADVANCE NORTH AND WAS POSITIONED SOUTH OF A LINE
FROM SAN ANGELO TO HILLSBORO TO LONGVIEW.  A DEEPENING SURFACE LOW WAS
LOCATED OVER SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO WITH A WARM FRONT EXTENDING EASTWARD
ACROSS TEXAS TO SHREVEPORT AND A DRYLINE EXTENDING FROM HOBBS NEW
MEXICO SOUTH INTO OLD MEXICO.

AS THE DAY PROGRESSES...UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS ALONG WITH LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE AND SURFACE BOUNDARIES WILL RESULT IN SEVERE WEATHER
DEVELOPING ACROSS THE WESTERN PARTS OF NORTH TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON.
ALTHOUGH...THE MAIN THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE FROM LARGE HAIL
AND HIGH WINDS...THE VEERING OF WINDS WITH HEIGHTS WILL FAVOR
SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT AND THE FORMATION OF A FEW TORNADOES.  THE
THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL SHIFT TO EAST TEXAS BY LATE EVENING.

EMERGENCY MANAGERS AND STORM SPOTTERS SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR POSSIBLE
ACTIVATION ACROSS WEST AND CENTRAL SECTIONS OF NORTH TEXAS THIS
