Areas affected...Parts of Southeast Texas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

Valid 250556Z - 250730Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...The severe risk will continue spreading east-southeastward
to the Texas Coast through the early morning hours. Damaging winds
gusts are the main concern, though a brief/embedded tornado cannot
be ruled out.

DISCUSSION...The latest radar data from KEWX shows an MCS tracking east-southeastward at around 40 kt across parts of south-central TX.
While the leading-line updrafts have decreased in intensity over the
last hour or so, the well-established cold pool and moist
pre-convective air mass continues to support embedded damaging wind
gusts -- especially with any embedded mesovortex structures (i.e., north/south-oriented portions of the line) in the near term.=20

With time, the MCS will continue tracking east-southeastward to the
TX Coast through the early morning hours. Around 40 kt of
line-orthogonal effective shear and a moist/moderately unstable
downstream air mass will continue to support a risk of damaging wind
gusts and perhaps a brief/embedded tornado risk -- aided by a
modest/gradually strengthening low-level jet and related low-level
hodograph curvature. A watch will likely be issued within the hour
for parts of the area.
