   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTH TEXAS
   TO CENTRAL KANSAS...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Severe thunderstorms, with large hail and damaging wind, are
   expected through tonight in a broad swath from south Texas to
   central Kansas.

   ...TX to KS...

   Early-day thunderstorm clusters that developed over southeast TX
   have conglomerated into a larger slow-moving MCS that has negatively
   influenced the air mass/buoyancy over much of this region. However,
   convective outflow arcs from the upper TX Coast into south-central
   TX immediately ahead of a new developing MCS. This upstream MCS is
   expected to mature and propagate southeast toward the middle TX
   Coast tonight as a reservoir of weakly-capped instability resides
   across the warm sector. Have extended higher severe probabilities
   into deep south TX to account for this scenario.

   Farther north, scattered strong/severe thunderstorms should continue
   this evening from the TX South Plains into central KS. There is some
   indication that strengthening LLJ over western OK this evening
   should assist in the longevity of this activity as it propagates
   east after sunset. While deep-layer flow is not particularly strong,
   approaching short-wave trough and modest shear seem supportive of
   hail/wind with this convection.
