   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
   OF THE LOWER AND MIDDLE TEXAS COAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   A couple of strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across
   portions of the Lower and Middle Texas Coast vicinity Monday morning
   and afternoon. Locally strong wind gusts and marginally severe hail
   will be possible with the strongest storms.

   ...Lower/Middle TX Coast Vicinity...

   A somewhat compact mid/upper low and attendant trough will shift
   east/southeast from west TX to the western Gulf of Mexico on Monday.
   Height falls associated with this system will result in the
   development of a weak surface low over west-central TX during the
   morning. South/southeasterly low-level flow ahead of the low will
   allow for modest Gulf moisture return across southern TX, with upper
   50s to low 60s F dewpoints forecast. As the surface low develops
   eastward, a weak cold front will approach the coast by around
   21Z/3pm CST. Widespread cloud cover and ongoing showers and
   thunderstorms will limit stronger destabilization. However, midlevel
   lapse rates around 7-7.5 C/km atop the moistening boundary-layer
   will support MLCAPE around 500-1000 J/kg. Forecast soundings also
   indicate precipitable water values near the climatological max for
   late January, with a near saturated profile from the surface to
   around 500 mb. This, combined with the south/southwesterly
   orientation of deep-layer flow, suggests heavy rain is likely to be
   the main hazard (reference WPC Excessive Rainfall Outlook for more
   details). Nevertheless, modest instability combined with effective
   shear magnitudes around 25-35 kt could support a couple of strong to
   severe thunderstorms capable of locally damaging wind gusts and
   marginally severe hail through the afternoon hours on Monday.
