Areas affected...The Big Bend region of Texas

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

Valid 132155Z - 140000Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...Sporadic severe hail and wind will be possible over the
next couple of hours as thunderstorms continue to mature. However,
this threat will remain sufficiently limited to preclude watch
issuance.

DISCUSSION...Over the past 1-2 hours, GOES IR imagery has shown
steadily cooling cloud top temperatures associated with a multicell
cluster south of the Fort Stockton, TX area. Although individual
cells within the cluster have demonstrated limited longevity and
organization so far, the overall trend suggests that the potential
for severe wind/hail is increasing for downstream areas. This
cluster is expected to continue propagating east/southeast along a
low-level theta-e gradient where buoyancy is maximized (MLCAPE up to
1500 J/kg). Furthermore, sufficient shear is present in the 0-5 km
layer to support supercell structures, though the observed storm
mode will likely continue to modulate this potential. While the
severe threat is noted, these limitations will preclude the need for
a watch.=20

To the west, a cluster of storms across northern Mexico is
undergoing similar intensification per GOES IR imagery, and should
cross the TX/Mexico border within the next hour. These cells may
intensify further as they move towards the regional buoyancy
maximum, and could also pose a severe hail/wind threat along and
just north of the Rio Grande.
