   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 8 CONTINUES.
   
   SUMMARY...STORMS PERSIST BUT HAVE NOT BEEN SEVERE. SOME
   STRENGTHENING COULD STILL OCCUR WITH MAINLY GUSTY WINDS.
   
   DISCUSSION...STORMS CONTINUE SPORADICALLY JUST BEHIND THE COLD
   FRONT...BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FORWARD PROPAGATE ENOUGH TO MOVE
   OFF THE BOUNDARY. GIVEN BACKED FLOW ALOFT...MUCH OF THE UPDRAFT MASS
   IS BEING DIFFUSED BEHIND THE STORMS...PERHAPS MINIMIZING DOWNDRAFT
   POTENTIAL. 
   
   HOWEVER...SHEAR REMAINS STRONG...AND PRECIPITABLE WATER IS HIGHER E
   OF THE FRONT. THEREFORE...SOME STRENGTHENING MAY STILL
   OCCUR...ESPECIALLY LATER THIS EVENING AS COOLING ALOFT OVERSPREADS
   THE REGION. A NEW WW MAY BE NEEDED LATER TODAY FOR PORTIONS OF ERN
   TX.
