    Areas affected...South Central Texas

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 27...

    Valid 080001Z - 080200Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 27
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Scattered strong to locally severe convection will
    continue across south central Texas.

    DISCUSSION...Surface front continues advancing steadily south across
    south central TX early this evening. While surface temperatures have
    warmed considerably along the lower Rio Grande Valley, very little
    convection is noted across the warm sector. Latest radar data
    depicts scattered robust elevated convection north of the wind
    shift, and this activity is gradually developing south as the front
    advances toward deep south TX. Given the weak height rises noted
    across this region, frontal ascent should continue to be the primary
    mechanism for thunderstorm development. Forecast soundings suggest
    parcel lift may be near 1km, and adequate MUCAPE exists north of the
    wind shift for a continued hail risk with the most robust updrafts.
