    Mesoscale Discussion 0680
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0150 AM CDT Sat May 09 2026

    Areas affected...Parts of South/Deep South Texas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 090650Z - 090845Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Large hail and severe wind gusts are possible with
    strong/severe convection moving into the lower Rio Grand Valley
    region. Limited coverage of severe storms is expected to preclude
    watch issuance.

    DISCUSSION...Moist upslope flow into the higher terrain in Mexico
    has promoted storm development earlier this evening. This activity
    is approaching the lower Rio Grande Valley. Given the forcing from
    the shortwave trough moving into South Texas and the minimal CIN on
    account of mid/upper 70s F dewpoints, this activity will likely
    impact portions of South/Deep South Texas. Steep mid-level lapse
    rates and strong effective shear indicate that large hail will be
    possible. Severe winds may also occur, particularly if any upscale
    growth can occur. Radar trends have indicated increasing weak
    thunderstorms over the last hour. Additional development appears
    possible, but severe storm coverage is still currently expected to
    remain low.
