...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE TEXAS COASTAL PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated marginally severe storms are possible across parts of the
Texas Coastal Plains from this evening through tonight into early
Wednesday morning.
...Texas Coastal Plains...
An upper-level trough will continue to move slowly eastward across
the southern Plains tonight. Low-level flow ahead of the trough will
be maintained helping to keep a moist airmass in place along the
Texas Coast. Although instability will remain weak, surface
dewpoints will be from the mid 60s to the lower 70s F across the
Texas Coastal Plains. This combined with strong low-level shear (0-1
km shear of 25 to 30 kt) and moderate deep-layer shear may be enough
for a marginal severe threat. If surface-based thunderstorms can
develop late this evening or tonight, then a marginal tornado threat
would be possible. A potential for strong gusty winds or hail may
also develop late this evening or during the overnight period.
