Valid 230813Z - 231015Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 163 continues. SUMMARY...A risk for large hail and strong thunderstorm gusts will continue across WW 163. A new watch will likely be needed beyond the 10z expiration time for portions of the watch area, and for areas downstream across southern TX. DISCUSSION...A cluster of supercells in the DRT vicinity is likely producing occasional severe hail and strong gusts. These storms are developing near a west to east/southeast oriented surface boundary and near/north of richer boundary-layer moisture across south TX. The expectation is that this convection will continue the next few hours, and with time, become organized into a forward-propagating cluster/bowing MCS. This process will likely be driven by a developing cold pool and southeastward progression of the surface front. This activity is expected to track southeast along the low-level moisture gradient toward the Lower TX Coast through the morning hours.=20 The downstream airmass is characterized by upper 60s to low 70s F dewpoints, fostering moderate instability. Effective shear magnitudes greater than 40 kt will allow for convection to remain organized, posing a continued severe threat. Large-hail potential will persist, though as convection develops into a bowing MCS, damaging wind potential should increase across south-central/southern TX. A new severe thunderstorm watch will likely be needed for some of the same area in WW 163, along with areas downstream toward the Lower/Middle TX Coast. ...Leitman.. 04/23/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9VtcM5Ew2NRGndzit_fC5SogVugYq3i4S_he1yBKVG66wBgh-ypKAP5uuv7NIC9W6dpiaR15m= lMcjMXW93dh1wlCWJU$ for graphic product...
