Areas affected...Portions of South Texas

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 245...

Valid 270906Z - 271100Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 245
continues.

SUMMARY...The risk of large hail and severe wind gusts continues
with a cluster of storms over South Texas -- within Severe
Thunderstorm Watch 245.

DISCUSSION...A cluster of thunderstorms is evolving along the east/west-oriented portion of an outflow boundary extending across
South TX. Here, steep midlevel lapse rates (around 7.5 C/km per
earlier 00Z observed soundings) atop rich boundary-layer moisture
(middle/upper 60s to lower 70s dewpoints) are contributing to
moderate instability -- even immediately north of the outflow
boundary. This instability and around 40 kt of effective shear will
continue to promote loosely organized convective clusters capable of
producing large hail and severe wind gusts. A gust of 58 mph was
recently measured in Laredo TX at 0841 UTC. Given recent radar
trends and cold pool evolution with respect to the
west-southwesterly deep-layer shear, there is some potential that a forward-propagating cluster of storms tracks east-southeastward
along the outflow boundary. This evolution would increase the risk
of severe wind gusts.
