   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 230...

   Valid 271933Z - 272100Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 230
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Potentially damaging wind gusts and severe hail will
   accompany an increasingly organized cluster of thunderstorms
   spreading into the mid/upper Texas coastal plain, including the
   Greater Houston metropolitan area, between 4-5 PM CDT.

   DISCUSSION...Vigorous convective development is being maintained,
   with thunderstorms clustering near a sub-synoptic surface low in the
   vicinity of College Station.  Aided by at least modest southeasterly
   inflow of moist air (characterized by CAPE of 1500-3000 J/kg) into
   updrafts, considerable further intensification and organization seem
   probable as activity propagates southeastward into Greater Houston
   and areas to the southwest through 21-22Z.  Accompanied by a
   strengthening surface cold pool and rear inflow, the risk for
   potential damaging wind gusts is expected to increase further, in
   addition to a continuing risk for severe hail..
