    Areas affected...Upper TX Coast/Southeast
    Texas...Southwest/South-Central Louisiana

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 99...

    Valid 100821Z - 101015Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 99
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Damaging wind gusts, some of which could exceed 75 mph,
    and line-embedded tornadoes are expected to become more common over
    the next few hours. A downstream Tornado Watch will likely be needed
    across far southeast Texas and southwest/south-central Louisiana.

    DISCUSSION...Convective trends within the ongoing line across
    southeast TX/Upper TX Coast continue to suggest organization into a
    more formidable squall line is underway. Current storm motion of
    this line is eastward at 40 kt, and this storm motion takes it to
    the edge of Severe Thunderstorm Watch 99 at 10Z. However, some
    additional acceleration is likely as the line becomes better
    organized, potentially taking it to the edge of the watch sooner.=20

    An outflow boundary remains draped from northern Harris County
    eastward in Calcasieu Parish. Interaction with this boundary likely
    contributed to the mesovortex currently ongoing over northern Harris
    County. This boundary will likely act as the northern extent of the
    severe risk over the next few hours.

    Damaging wind gusts, some of which could exceed 75 mph, will remain
    the primary severe risk. However, line-embedded mesovorticies
    capable of tornadoes are also expected to become more common as the
    line moves into far southeast TX and southwest LA. As a result, a
    Tornado Watch will likely be needed downstream within the next hour.
