    Areas affected...the middle Rio Grande Valley into parts of central
    Texas

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

    Valid 080709Z - 080945Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A few storms may become severe as they develop
    east/northeastward into central Texas. Large and potentially
    damaging hail will be the primary concern.

    DISCUSSION...Storms are gradually increasing along a stalled
    front/theta-e gradient from Terrell to San Saba Counties where mid
    60s dewpoints are in place. Greater moisture levels exist just
    south, with values to around 70 F. Surface winds remain quite weak
    on both sides of the boundary, resulting in minimal convergence.

    Steep lapse rates exist just above the boundary layer, and it will
    not take much lift to get parcels to the LFC. As such, expect a
    gradual increase in storm coverage along this front, perhaps with a
    supercell or two consolidating out of the elongated area of
    convection. Lengthy hodographs, especially in the mid and upper
    levels, and cold temperatures aloft will likely support hail. Given
    the expected isolated nature of the severe threat, a watch is not
    anticipated at this time.
