   ...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.

   ...Synopsis...
   A compact mid-level trough will move from West Texas to the Gulf
   Coast on Monday. Strengthening southerly flow will bring a more
   moist airmass northward into southeast Texas during the day.

   Dewpoints are expected to increase into the low to potentially mid
   60s across portions of southeast Texas tomorrow. This moisture is
   expected to extend into the mid-levels with PWAT values approaching
   1.5 inches based on RAP forecast soundings. As a result of the high
   moisture content, extensive cloud cover is expected across the
   region. However, despite a lack of solar insolation, weak to
   moderate instability is anticipated due to the increasing low-level
   moisture and cooling temperatures aloft. As destabilization occurs,
   thunderstorms are anticipated by mid afternoon ahead of the
   mid-level shortwave trough in a region of isentropic ascent.
   Effective shear should be sufficient (25 to 35 knots) to support
   some updraft rotation and potentially a severe storm or two.
   However, weak low-level lapse rates should be a limiting factor to a
   greater severe threat. The primary threat from any stronger storms
   will be isolated damaging wind gusts and marginally severe hail.
