Areas affected...Deep South Texas

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 237...

Valid 070900Z - 071030Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 237
continues.

SUMMARY...Some increase in severe-wind potential is possible before
storms move offshore, in addition to a continued large hail threat.

DISCUSSION...A small but occasionally intense thunderstorm co*plex
has evolved across Deep South TX early this morning. Earlier 00Z
soundings from CRP and BRO depicted very rich low-level moisture
(with 1 km mean mixing ratios greater than 18 g/kg) beneath steep
midlevel lapse rates, resulting in strong instability. Strong
deep-layer shear and elongated hodographs were also observed with
these soundings, which aided in earlier intense supercell
development that resulted in giant hail in San Ygnacio, TX.

Some recent upscale growth has been noted, with smaller cells
forming within a low-level warm advection regime to the east of the
initial supercell cluster. It remains uncertain if substantial cold
pool development can occur prior to storms moving offshore, but some
increase in the severe-wind threat is possible, in addition to a
continued hail threat.

If a more organized MCS does develop, there will likely be some
tendency for it to propagate east-northeast near an
outflow-influenced surface front, within the buoyancy gradient and
along the northern periphery of warmer 700 mb temperatures and
stronger capping.
