   Areas affected...Parts of southeast Texas

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 301424Z - 301600Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

   SUMMARY...A couple strong to locally severe wind gusts (45-60 mph)
   are possible with an eastward-moving storm cluster over the next
   couple hours.

   DISCUSSION...A decaying MCS has recently shown signs of localized
   intensification as it tracks eastward toward the Upper TX Coast.
   This is likely in response to a re-orientation of the leading gust
   front to a north-south direction -- which is orthogonal to around 30
   kt of effective shear. Given this favorable orientation, and modest
   heating of a very moist boundary layer (upper 70s dewpoints), a
   couple strong to locally severe gusts (45-60 mph) cannot be ruled
   out over the next couple hours. Current thinking is that the overall
   severe risk will remain too isolated for a watch.
