   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER MUCH OF
   SOUTHERN TEXAS...AND OVER PARTS OF THE OZARKS...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Severe thunderstorms are expected this evening into tonight across
   much of southern Texas, with damaging wind and hail. Additional
   severe storms remain possible across portions of the Ozarks through
   this evening, the main hazard being a brief tornado.

   ...Much of southern TX...
   Several intense cells persist as of 01Z across the Rio Grande
   Valley, likely producing damaging hail. Storm coverage will increase
   tonight as the shortwave trough digs south, and substantial
   large-scale lift is incurred. Linear forcing along the developing
   cold front as well as an eventual merging of outflow may result in
   an MCS producing damaging winds. Capping appears relatively minimal
   for this region with storms reaching the coast before 12Z.

   ...Eastern OK, western AR, southwest MO area...
   Multiple arcing lines of storms persist from northern LA across AR
   and into northeast OK in association with a midlevel wave. Ahead of
   these storms, a moist and unstable air mass remains which should
   sustain them for several hours. Low-level shear will remain
   favorable for rotating storms and a brief tornado as 850 mb winds
   increase to 50 kt out of the southeast this evening. For more
   information see mesoscale discussion #730.
