    Areas affected...southeast Texas into southwest Louisiana

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 100032Z - 100200Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Strong storms have developed across southeast Texas. A
    watch is possible if these storms exhibit better organization over
    the next 1 to 2 hours.

    DISCUSSION...A line of thunderstorms have developed within a 850mb
    confluence axis from near Houston and northeastward. A very moist,
    unstable environment is present across southeast Texas with
    dewpoints in the low 70s and temperatures in the low to mid 70s
    yielding 2000 to 2500 J/kg MLCAPE. Effective shear of 55 to 60 knots
    will support supercells as the primary storm mode. Forcing for
    ascent is the primary question as some shortwave ridging is building
    into the region ahead of the trough digging into northern Texas.
    This may restrict a greater threat across the region and keep the
    severe threat more isolated. Low-level shear is not that strong with
    some veering, but less than 30 knots of flow in the lowest 2 km.
    Therefore, any stronger supercells which may develop, will have some
    tornado threat.
