Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 204...205...

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 204, 205 continues.
SUMMARY...Scattered slow-moving severe thunderstorms will continue into the early-evening hours. Hail is the primary concern.
DISCUSSION...Scattered slow-moving thunderstorms continue within a very high-instability air mass from the international border over southeast Terrell County to Leon County. Wind profiles favor storm splits and latest radar data supports this with several left-movers advancing north of the watch at times. Even so, the primary concern this evening will be for the east-west corridor to gradually sag south as the dominant updrafts should tend to drift more southerly. MRMS data suggests large, to very large hail is common with this activity.
