   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF THE
   TEXAS COASTAL PLAIN...AND OVER PORTIONS OF NORTH DAKOTA....

   ...SUMMARY...
   Hurricane Hanna may spawn a few tornadoes today and tonight over
   parts of south Texas.  Isolated severe gusts and hail are also
   possible over parts of the northern Plains and Upper Midwest.

   ...TX...
   Hurricane Hanna will move ashore over south TX early this evening. 
   As the system moves slowly westward, favorable vertical shear
   profiles will move inland over the middle and lower TX Gulf Coast. 
   So far, convection has not shown consistent tendencies toward
   rotating updrafts, and has been primarily outflow dominant.  If that
   changes, the potential will exist for a few tornadoes across the
   SLGT risk area this afternoon and tonight.

   ...Central ND...
   A surface cold front over eastern MT and northwest ND will sag
   southeastward today, providing the focus for scattered thunderstorm
   development.  Southwesterly flow aloft is sufficient for a few
   organized storms, with forecast soundings showing steep low-level
   lapse rates - favorable for gusty/damaging convective winds.  Have
   opted to insert a small SLGT risk for this threat - primarily for
   the 21-01z period.
