ILN latest on severe here Wednesday.

Quote
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Active long term time period is expected.  Some initial
precipitation will be moving through during the morning hours on
Wednesday. There will then be a lull or decrease in precipitation
before additional showers and thunderstorms develop during the
afternoon and early evening hours on Wednesday.

CIPS analogs continue to highlight, as has been the case for several
days now, the potential for at least some severe weather on
Wednesday.  SPC is now indicating that potential as well with a
marginal risk.  Due to signal being present for several days,
decided to add mention into the HWO.  How robust the storms get will
depend on how many breaks in the clouds end up occurring.  Will
continue to fine tune as this system gets closer. In addition to the
potential for severe weather, outside of storms there will also be
the potential for breezy conditions with wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph.
 After these storms move through there will be a brief lull or break
in the rain.  This lull will be short lived as an upper level low
approaches.  This will be just one in a series of upper level lows
and disturbances that then move through the region through Saturday.
 With several systems moving through expect off and on precipitation
chances through Saturday.  In additional breezy conditions will be
present during this time frame as well. As colder air moves in,
cannot rule out a few snowflakes going into the weekend.

SPC says tornado potential is increasing. Could have a long-track tornado.

   Mesoscale Discussion 0295
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0532 PM CDT Mon Mar 21 2022

   Areas affected...portions of central Texas

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 54...

   Valid 212232Z - 220000Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 54 continues.

   SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Tornado Watch #054.
   Large hail, damaging gusts and tornadoes may accompany any mature
   storm within the watch. A corridor of greater severe potential is
   likely developing near Austin, TX and will progress northeast
   through the remainder of the afternoon.

   DISCUSSION...Multiple supercells, thunderstorm clusters, and linear
   segments have developed across the western portions of Tornado Watch
   #054 over the past couple of hours, with a history of tornadoes near
   Jacksboro and Bowie Texas. Storms continue to develop ahead of a
   Pacific front/dryline just west of the I-35 corridor, and are
   advancing east into a buoyant airmass. These storms are also
   progressing toward the axis of the low-level jet, where greater
   moisture and low-level shear exist (per 22z mesoanalysis). 20Z RAP
   forecast soundings (valid for 22-00Z) show large, curved hodographs
   downshear of the ongoing storms). As such, tornado potential is
   expected to increase through the remainder of the afternoon into the
   evening hours. 

   Of particular concern are the supercells along a line from Burnet to
   Guadalupe Counties, which are tracking in an thermodynamic
   environment characterized by 2000+ J/kg MLCAPE. Given the storm mode
   and aforementioned buoyancy/shear, a heightened tornado threat may
   develop. Any supercell that becomes dominant/discrete (relatively
   pristine inflow) will have the greatest risk for producing strong
   tornadoes, and a long-lived, long-tracked tornado cannot be
   completely ruled out.
