South central TX to southern LA through tonight...
A cluster of supercells formed this morning and is approaching areas
near and south of San Antonio as of 16z. Extreme buoyancy (MUCAPE
of 4000-6000 J/kg), steep midlevel lapse rates and strong deep-layer
vertical shear/long hodographs will favor very large hail near 3
inches in diameter as the primary threat through early afternoon.
Some upscale growth in this convection is likely through the
afternoon, as the storms spread generally eastward along a stalled
front across Houston and Lake Charles, with a continued large hail
threat and an increase in the potential for damaging winds of 60-80
mph. The storms could persist into the overnight hours while moving
across southern LA, along the outflow-reinforced boundary in the
wake of the ongoing storms over the FL Panhandle. Areas northeast
of this outflow boundary have been largely overturned into MS/AL,
with limited potential for destabilization prior to arrival of the
storms from the west.

Areas affected...southern Texas into southwestern Louisiana

Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely

Valid 131739Z - 131945Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

SUMMARY...Severe threat to continue downstream of WW235. Downstream
watch will likely be needed soon.

DISCUSSION...A mix of clustered cells and supercell structures have
been ongoing across portions of south-central Texas producing
instances of quarter to half dollar size hail. Ahead of this
activity, dew points are in the upper 70s to near 80 with MLCAPE
around 3000-4000 J/kg. This, in combination with strong deep layer
shear around 45-50 kts will continue to support supercells capable
of very large hail (2-3.5 in). Trends suggest thunderstorms will
gradually grow upscale while moving along a stalled front through
the late afternoon/evening. This will lead to an increase in
damaging wind threat, with potential for wind speeds 70+ mph and a
tornado or two. A downstream watch will likely be needed to cover
this threat.
