...A TORNADO WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT CDT...

TORNADO PRODUCING THUNDERSTORMS THAT MOVED ACROSS FLOYD...BRISCOE
AND HALL COUNTIES HAVE ALL MOVED INTO THE PANHANDLE. SEVERAL
LONG LIVED TORNADOES WERE REPORTED. DAMAGE REPORTS ARE LIMITED AT
THIS TIME.

ADDITIONAL ENERGY WILL ROTATE OVER WEST TEXAS AHEAD OF AN UPPER
LEVEL LOW THAT WILL TRACK TOWARDS WEST TEXAS. THUNDERSTORMS WILL
CONTINUE TO LINE UP ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND WILL MOVE INTO
THE WESTERN SOUTH PLAINS AND SOUTHWESTERN PANHANDLE AROUND 9 PM.
AS THIS LINE MOVES EASTWARD THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG DAMAGING
WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. THERE IS STILL ENOUGH TURNING OF THE WINDS
AT THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE ALONG WITH THE IMPRESSIVE
INSTABILITY TO CONTINUE THE THREAT OF ADDITIONAL TORNADOES.

IF STORMS APPROACH YOUR COMMUNITY BE PREPARED TO TAKE COVER.
