    Mesoscale Discussion 0699

    Areas affected...Southeast Texas into southwestern Louisiana

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

    Valid 102301Z - 110030Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A couple instances of large hail and locally severe wind
    gusts will be possible for the next few hours.

    DISCUSSION...The latest surface observations show a
    west/east-oriented low-level confluence zone extending from
    southeast TX into southwestern LA -- where a few thunderstorms are
    attempting to strengthen. The earlier 18Z LCH sounding sampled steep
    midlevel lapse rates atop a warm/moist PBL -- contributing to around
    2500 J/kg MLCAPE. This buoyancy and an elongated mid/upper-level hodograph/strong venting aloft -- evident by eastward expanding
    anvils on visible satellite imagery -- will conditionally support a
    couple organized storms including supercell structures. Any storms
    that can mature/intensify will pose a risk of large hail and locally
    severe wind gusts for the next few hours. However, current thinking
    is that many of these storms will struggle to mature owing to
    midlevel dry air entertainment and overall weak forcing for ascent.=20

    A watch is not expected for this activity in the near term, though
    severe storms to the northwest may eventually move into parts of
    southeast TX tonight -- and this will be addressed as needed.
