AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF SERN TX
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 225...
VALID 052234Z - 060030Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 225
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...SCATTERED STRONG THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL CONTINUE
FOR SEVERAL MORE HOURS, INCLUDING FEW CELLS WHICH MAY BECOME CAPABLE
OF PRODUCING SEVERE HAIL, BEFORE ACTIVITY WEAKENS LATER THIS
EVENING. IT IS UNLIKELY THAT A NEW SEVERE WEATHER WATCH WILL BE
NEEDED, BUT TRENDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED.
DISCUSSION...A BROAD AREA OF CONVECTION, ROOTED WITHIN FORCING FOR
ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH LOWER/MID-TROPOSPHERIC WARM ADVECTION,
CONTINUES TO GRADUALLY OVERSPREAD MUCH OF EASTERN/SOUTHEASTERN
TEXAS, WITH SCATTERED EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. THIS INCLUDES
MORE RECENT VIGOROUS DEVELOPMENT NORTHWEST OF VICTORIA THROUGH
MID/UPPER TEXAS COASTAL AREAS, IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO A STALLED
SURFACE FRONTAL ZONE EXTENDING INLAND OF COASTAL AREAS, THROUGH THE
TEXAS HILL COUNTRY AND EDWARDS PLATEAU. THE NORTHWARD EDGE OF THE
STRONGER CONVECTION APPEARS FOCUSED ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF
SOUTHWARD PROPAGATING GRAVITY WAVES, WHICH MAY REACH THE GREATER
HOUSTON AND COLLEGE STATION VICINITIES BY 00-01Z. UNTIL THEN,
THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES CHARACTERIZED BY SEASONABLY MOIST AIR,
SURMOUNTED BY MODESTLY STEEP LAPSE RATES, ABOVE THE FRONTAL
INVERSION, MAY REMAIN SUPPORTIVE OF CONVECTION CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
SEVERE HAIL, AIDED BY STRONG SHEAR IN THE CONVECTIVE LAYER.
