...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
SOUTH-CENTRAL TEXAS...
CORRECTED TO REMOVE TORNADO PROBABILITIES IN THE CAROLINAS.
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorm risk continues over south-central Texas this
evening. Very large hail, severe wind, and a tornado or two remains
possible.
...01z Update...
Organized thunderstorm clusters are progressing southeast across
south-central TX at roughly 25kt. This activity has evolved within a
modestly sheared northwesterly flow regime on the back side of the
lower MS Valley upper trough. A reservoir of strong buoyancy
currently extends across south-central TX ahead of this convection
and there is reason to believe southeast progression will result in
this activity moving off the middle TX Coast later this evening. 00z
sounding from CRP supports this possibility with steep lapse rates
and adequate flow for the maintenance of ongoing updrafts. Large
hail continues to be noted with the strongest updrafts, especially
across ww232. In addition to damaging wind threat, a tornado can not
be ruled out with the strongest supercell structures.
