   Areas affected...central and southern Texas

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 13...

   Valid 030212Z - 030415Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 13
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Scattered storms may continue to pose a damaging wind and
   marginal hail threat as they move across remaining parts of WW 13.
   The threat area may include a few adjacent counties east of the
   existing watch.

   DISCUSSION...Scattered storms ahead of the primary cold front have
   consolidated into two main clusters, both showing signs of either
   damaging wind gusts or hail near 1.00". Surface analysis shows a
   diffuse theta-e gradient north of CRP and extending northwestward
   toward the Frio/La Salle County cluster, while farther north across
   the San Antonio area, surface conditions are cooler but still
   unstable.

   Given the ongoing substantial storm clusters, damaging gusts will be
   possible as the air mass remains sufficiently unstable to sustain
   the ongoing convection, especially near the theta-e gradient.
   Expected coverage of severe outside the watch is not forecast to
   necessitate a new watch, though a few severe reports will be
   possible.
