AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF SOUTH/DEEP SOUTH TEXAS
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 090650Z - 090845Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT
SUMMARY...LARGE HAIL AND SEVERE WIND GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE WITH
STRONG/SEVERE CONVECTION MOVING INTO THE LOWER RIO GRAND VALLEY
REGION. LIMITED COVERAGE OF SEVERE STORMS IS EXPECTED TO PRECLUDE
WATCH ISSUANCE.
DISCUSSION...MOIST UPSLOPE FLOW INTO THE HIGHER TERRAIN IN MEXICO
HAS PROMOTED STORM DEVELOPMENT EARLIER THIS EVENING. THIS ACTIVITY
IS APPROACHING THE LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY. GIVEN THE FORCING FROM
THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING INTO SOUTH TEXAS AND THE MINIMAL CIN ON
ACCOUNT OF MID/UPPER 70S F DEWPOINTS, THIS ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY
IMPACT PORTIONS OF SOUTH/DEEP SOUTH TEXAS. STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE
RATES AND STRONG EFFECTIVE SHEAR INDICATE THAT LARGE HAIL WILL BE
POSSIBLE. SEVERE WINDS MAY ALSO OCCUR, PARTICULARLY IF ANY UPSCALE
GROWTH CAN OCCUR. RADAR TRENDS HAVE INDICATED INCREASING WEAK
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE LAST HOUR. ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT APPEARS
POSSIBLE, BUT SEVERE STORM COVERAGE IS STILL CURRENTLY EXPECTED TO
REMAIN LOW.
