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

    Valid 221830Z - 222130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A gradual increase in thunderstorm activity and intensity
    appears probable through 4-6 PM CDT, with short-lived stronger
    storms posing a risk for locally severe hail and wind gusts.

    DISCUSSION...As low-amplitude mid-level troughing and more subtle
    smaller-scale perturbations progress through weak (on the order of
    10-20 kt) west-southwesterly mean flow across the Gulf Coast states,
    associated forcing for ascent appears likely to contribute to
    increasing thunderstorm development through 21-23Z. Inhibition for
    moist boundary-layer parcels (with dew points near 70F) is becoming=20 increasingly negligible with continuing insolation, with modestly
    steep lower/mid-tropospheric lapse rates contributing to CAPE around
    1500-2000+ J/kg.=20=20

    Despite the rather modest to weak low-level and deep-layer shear,
    thunderstorms are likely to continue to slowly intensify within the destabilizing environment, into and beyond peak daytime heating.=20
    Stronger updraft pulses may eventually pose increasing potential to
    produce severe hail and damaging downbursts. As convection begins
    to consolidate and become more widespread, this threat should
    diminish, but strengthening convective outflow may continue to pose
    potential for gusty/locally damaging winds into early evening.
