    Areas affected...Parts of south and southeast TX

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 96...98...

    Valid 100312Z - 100445Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 96, 98
    continues.

    SUMMARY...An increasing severe-wind threat is expected late tonight,
    along with a continued hail risk. Downstream watch issuance is
    likely by midnight CDT.

    DISCUSSION...A supercell cluster near/east of Austin has shown signs
    of accelerating eastward late this evening, with a substantial hail
    core recently noted in MRMS data near Bastrop. MLCAPE of greater
    than 2000 J/kg and favorable deep-layer shear will continue to
    support large hail (potentially greater than 2 inches in diameter)
    with embedded supercells in the cluster. Consolidating outflows may
    also pose an increasing severe-wind threat as this cluster moves
    eastward late tonight.=20

    Farther southwest, deep convection has recently erupted across
    southern portions of the Hill Country into western parts of deep
    south TX, where a cold front has intercepted returning low-level
    moisture. Instability and deep-layer shear are favorable for
    supercells in this region as well, and a threat for large to very
    large hail will accompany these storms as they move eastward. Most
    recent CAM guidance suggests eventual upscale growth in this region,
    which will then move quickly east-northeastward toward the TX Gulf
    Coast with time, accompanied by a threat for severe wind gusts
    potentially exceeding 75 mph. Some tornado threat could also
    eventually evolve near the TX Coast overnight, as the upscale
    growing storm cluster encounters deeper moisture and stronger
    low-level flow/shear.=20

    With a substantial severe threat expected to eventually spread
    toward the TX Gulf Coast, downstream watch issuance is likely by
    midnight CDT.
