A watch is possible if these storms exhibit better organization over the next 1 to 2 hours. DISCUSSION...A line of thunderstorms have developed within a 850mb confluence axis from near Houston and northeastward. A very moist, unstable environment is present across southeast Texas with dewpoints in the low 70s and temperatures in the low to mid 70s yielding 2000 to 2500 J/kg MLCAPE. Effective shear of 55 to 60 knots will support supercells as the primary storm mode. Forcing for ascent is the primary question as some shortwave ridging is building into the region ahead of the trough digging into northern Texas. This may restrict a greater threat across the region and keep the severe threat more isolated. Low-level shear is not that strong with some veering, but less than 30 knots of flow in the lowest 2 km. Therefore, any stronger supercells which may develop, will have some tornado threat. ...Bentley.. 04/10/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9pUNSVpLiHFwFTfePhM7PLfbcJlZJhr6CbUCgH4ff9rTYd4qhw7izN8OzVzFwv-fmLkck0Vbs= YRU2hF_K839s2jkv3w$ for graphic product...
