Areas affected...southeast Texas into southwest Louisiana

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

Valid 021054Z - 021230Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Strong thunderstorms may locally produce gusty winds or
hail to near 1 inch over the next couple of hours.

DISCUSSION...Isolated thunderstorms will continue shifting
east/southeast the next few hours. A 30-40 kt southerly low-level
jet and embedded, convectively induced MCV is likely aiding in
continued thunderstorm organization amid moderate instability
(MLCAPE 1500-2000 J/kg). Sporadic, locally strong gusts are
possible, in additional to hail to near 1 inch, before storms move
offshore over the next couple of hours. Given the marginal nature of
the severe threat, and limited spatial/temporal extent of the
threat, a watch is not expected.
