   Areas affected...south central through southeast Texas

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 11...

   Valid 190055Z - 190230Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 11
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Storms will continue to pose a threat for isolated large
   hail and damaging wind gusts next couple hours primarily from a
   portion of south central through southeast Texas.

   DISCUSSION...Storms that developed earlier this afternoon are in the
   process of evolving into a cluster with embedded supercells from
   south central through southeast TX. Storms will continue east next
   couple hours. However, 00Z RAOBS from Shreveport and Lake Charles
   show a modest capping inversion near 800 mb suggesting increased
   surface-based convective inhibition with onset of nocturnal cooling.
   Thus while the storms will continue to pose a severe threat next
   couple hours, a weakening trend will probably commence by 03Z.
