   Areas affected...Southeast TX

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 133...

   Valid 222147Z - 222315Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 133 continues.

   SUMMARY...Threat for all severe hazards, including a strong tornado,
   has increased across southeast TX.

   DISCUSSION...Ongoing supercell entering Walker and Houston Counties
   has shown trends towards more organization and deviant right motion
   over the past 15 minutes. This trend suggest maturation into a
   supercell is near-complete or complete. Given the lack of storms and
   the moist and unstable air mass downstream, the overall environment
   appears favorable for continue storm persistence and perhaps
   additional strengthening. Recent mesoanalysis estimate STP of 6-7
   exists in this region. All severe hazards, including a strong
   tornado, are possible with this supercell and any additional mature
   development over the region.
