   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 342
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Intensifying bow will move across southeast Texas to far
   southwest Louisiana over the next 1-2 hours. Severe gusts to 80 mph
   will be possible with these storms.

   DISCUSSION...A bowing line of storms has increased in intensity
   recently, and is now moving southeast around 45-50 kt. Strong to
   extreme instability is in place ahead of this convection amid a very
   moist boundary-layer and steep midlevel lapse rates near 8 C/km. A
   recently measured gust to 67 mph was noted at KUTS. Expected severe
   gusts of 65-80 mph are possible within the apex of bowing segment
   over the next 1-2 hours as storms approach the coast.
