Update from Jeff:

Severe Thunderstorm Watch in effect until 1000pm for the western counties of SE TX.

Air mass has become unstable and approach of upper level disturbance is resulting in a rapid increase in strong to severe thunderstorms. Recent storms near Refugio, TX have produced a confirmed tornado and this intense supercell is moving toward Calhoun County with radar DBZ approaching 65-75. Strong storm over NE Wharton County moving toward Fort Bend County is also showing some radar indicated rotation.

All severe modes will be possible…including large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes. Severe thunderstorms earlier produced hail large enough to damage vehicles at I-10 and Beltway 8 near the City Center.

Radar shows storm motions with the more intense supercells are slowing suggesting very high rainfall rates…2-3” per hour. Flash flooding may rapidly develop with any slow moving storms. Adverse weather will likely impact metro Houston area near/during rush hour with both a severe and flash flood threat.
