The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 177 continues.

SUMMARY...The potential for a strong tornado will increase during
the 200-300pm period over a small part of central TX.  Giant hail
(diameter 3 inches or larger) is also possible.

DISCUSSION...A discrete supercell has recently developed near a
triple point in Hamilton County.  Surface observations show a plume
of mid-upper 60s dewpoints immediately southeast of the supercell. 
RAP forecast soundings show quickly enlarging hodographs over the
next hour or so with 250-300 m2/s2 effective SRH.  A strong tornado
is possible.
