SEVERE THREAT CONTINUES ACROSS WW.

CLUSTER OF SEVERE STORMS CONTINUES ACROSS THE TX SOUTH PLAINS --
INVOF COLD FRONT AND AHEAD OF SWRN NM SHORT-WAVE TROUGH.  EXPECT
STORMS/SEVERE THREAT TO CONTINUE -- AND OVERALL STORM COVERAGE TO
INCREASE -- AS LOW-LEVEL JET INTENSIFIES AHEAD OF APPROACHING
TROUGH.  

THOUGH VEERING/SHEAR REMAINS SUFFICIENT FOR SUPERCELLS...EXPECT
STORMS TO BECOME INCREASINGLY NON-DISCRETE...AND THUS MAIN THREAT
WILL REMAIN LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.  IN ADDITION...TENDENCY
FOR SLOW STORM MOTION AND INCREASING STORM COVERAGE SUGGESTS THAT
LOCALLY VERY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL OCCUR -- PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE TX
SOUTH PLAINS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
