Areas affected...South-Central Texas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely 

Valid 230216Z - 230345Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...Severe Thunderstorm Watch will likely be issued south of
ww162.

DISCUSSION...Frontal convection continues across southern portions
of ww162. This activity is expected to continue propagating
south-southeast along the eastern reservoir of higher instability.
00z sounding from DRT exhibited MLCAPE around 2500 J/kg with some
capping evident near 850mb. While low-level inflow is not
particularly impressive at this time, latest guidance suggests 850mb
flow should increase a bit into this activity over the next few
hours. Strong southward frontal surge, and north of west mid-level
flow, favor convection spreading across south-central TX.
