    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 90 continues.

    SUMMARY...The risk for severe hail, and perhaps a couple of
    tornadoes, may continue to increase with a couple of evolving
    supercells, before thunderstorms possibly begin consolidating into
    an organizing cluster near and north of the College Station and
    Huntsville into Lufkin vicinities toward 5-6 PM CDT.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms have increased in coverage and intensity
    within a narrow corridor, which likely coincides with the
    northern/leading edge of stronger mid-level inhibition, beneath
    building ridging within the subtropical branch of westerlies.=20
    Models suggest that one on two speed maxima within this regime will
    contribute to strengthening upper divergence along this corridor
    during the next few hours, supporting potential for considerable
    further upscale convective growth.

    A couple of supercells which have recently evolved to the southeast
    of the College Station and Huntsville vicinities may continue to
    intensify in the near term, aided by increasing inflow of moist
    boundary-layer air characterized moderately large CAPE, in the
    presence of strengthening shear. Gradually, though, it appears that
    forcing associated with lower/mid-tropospheric warm advection may
    tend to become focused to the north of College Station and
    Huntsville into Lufkin vicinity, where strongest storms may evolve
    into an increasingly organized cluster by 22-23Z.
