    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms developing west of the lower Rio Grande may
    cross into far south Texas later this evening. If this occurs, the
    environment is favorable for robust supercells with an attendant
    large hail and severe wind threat.

    DISCUSSION...Multiple attempts at sustained deep convection are
    underway along the eastern slopes of the Sierra Madre mountains to
    the west of the lower Rio Grande. Storms that can remain sustained
    away from the orographic ascent along the terrain will migrate into
    an increasingly moist/buoyant air mass with eastward extent into
    Deep South TX where they will likely intensify into robust
    supercells given a very buoyant and strongly sheared environment
    (MLCAPE values upwards of 4000 J/kg with ~60 knots of effective deep
    layer shear). One deeper/stronger cell northwest of Rio Grande City,
    TX has recently exhibited echo tops above 50 kft, suggesting that
    this cell could remain sustained for the next few hours and pose a
    downstream threat for large hail (potentially upwards of 2.0 to 3.5
    inches) and severe winds. Recent high-res guidance suggests multiple
    rounds of isolated convection may move into the region through the
    late evening and overnight hours.
