    Mesoscale Discussion 0681

    Areas affected...Far South Texas

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

    Valid 091438Z - 091615Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated severe wind gusts are possible for the next 1 to
    2 hours.

    DISCUSSION...A (likely) slightly elevated supercell has moved across
    Hidalgo county this morning with a recent measured wind gust of 54
    knots in McAllen, Texas. The 12Z KBRO RAOB sampled this environment
    with 2500 J/kg MUCAPE and 47 knots of effective shear with a PWAT of
    2.00". This should be sufficient to maintain some isolated wind
    threat for the next 1 to 2 hours. On the storm scale, an additional
    stronger core has developed in western Willacy county. These
    stronger cores, in addition to additional development near the Rio
    Grande, should support isolated areas of intense water loading and
    the potential for damaging wind gusts for the next 1 to 2 hours
    before these storms move offshore and the threat subsides.
