    Areas affected...portions of southeastern Texas

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 225...

    Valid 052048Z - 052215Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 225
    continues.

    SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Severe Thunderstorm
    Watch 225. Large hail remains the main concern, but a tornado could
    still occur if a supercell can become surface based.

    DISCUSSION...Multiple supercell structures have developed across
    southeast Texas, and have been progressing eastward on the immediate
    cool side of a baroclinic zone. These supercells are likely still
    elevated, and given adequate buoyancy above 700 mb (per RAP forecast soundings), severe hail could still occur given elongated mid to
    upper-level hodographs and corresponding 50+ kts of effective bulk
    shear. Closer to the Gulf Coast, multiple thunderstorms continue to
    intensify within a WAA regime. These storms are associated with a
    relatively more unstable, surface-based airmass. Regional VADs on
    the warm side of the baroclinic boundary show low-level hodographs
    with modest size and curvature, with around 300 m2/s2 SRH present
    (per 19Z mesoanalysis). It is unclear if these storms can organize
    and intensify into mature surface-based supercells before reaching
    the cool side of the baroclinic boundary. If they do though, a
    tornado remains possible.
