VALID 231833Z - 232030Z

SUMMARY...A COMPACT MCS WILL BE CAPABLE OF SEVERE WINDS ALONG THE
MIDDLE TEXAS COAST. THE THREAT WILL REMAIN SPATIALLY CONFINED TO THE
IMMEDIATE COAST AND A WATCH IS NOT EXPECTED.
DISCUSSION...A COMPACT MCS DEVELOPED IN THE VICINITY OF CORPUS
CHRISTI EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON. THIS FEATURE HAS HAD A HISTORY OF
SEVERE GUSTS (53-59 KT MEASURED IN CORPUS CHRISTI). GIVEN THE RADAR
SIGNATURE ON KCRP VELOCITY DATA AND A FAVORABLE THERMODYNAMIC
ENVIRONMENT AHEAD OF THE MCS, SEVERE GUSTS ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST
WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE. THIS ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY INTERACT WITH
CONVECTION NEAR HOUSTON. AT THAT TIME, SEVERE POTENTIAL SHOULD
DIMINISH.
