Areas affected...portions of the Middle Texas Coast

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

Valid 231652Z - 231815Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated damaging/severe wind gusts may occur as ongoing
convection moves onshore over the next 1-2 hours.

DISCUSSION...Regional radar/satellite imagery depicts a couple of
ongoing thunderstorms just offshore of the Middle Texas coastline.
Downstream surface observations indicate that temperatures have
warmed into the low-90s F, with dewpoints in the 70s to near 80.
Aided by enhanced northeasterly flow on the southwestern periphery
of Tropical Storm Bertha (with 40-45 kts sampled at 4-5 km AGL per
the CRP VAD profile), high PW (2+ inches), and steepening low-level
lapse rates, an isolated threat for damaging/severe wind gusts may
manifest along the Middle Texas coastline as these thunderstorms
move ashore over the next hour or two. Watch issuance is not
anticipated at this time, but additional thunderstorm
activity/development later this afternoon will continue to be
monitored.
