    Mesoscale Discussion 0739

    Areas affected...Parts of Deep South Texas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 081258Z - 081430Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Strong to locally severe storm development is possible
    this morning.

    DISCUSSION...Very rich low-level moisture remains in place across
    Deep South TX this morning, with MLCAPE above 2500 J/kg and minimal
    MLCINH already noted on regional 12Z soundings and recent
    mesoanalyses. With the primary mid/upper-level shortwave trough
    still well to the west, coverage and intensity of morning convection
    across the region is uncertain. However, showers have recently
    developed within a zone of weak surface confluence across Cameron
    County, and some guidance depicts development of deep convection
    within this area later this morning.=20

    If deep convection can initiate and be sustained this morning,
    strong instability and favorable deep-layer shear will support
    supercell potential, with an attendant threat of large hail, locally
    damaging gusts, and possibly a tornado. Given the conditionality of
    the morning threat, the short-term need for watch issuance is
    uncertain. Additional rounds of strong to severe storms will be
    possible later today, with eventual watch issuance possible.
