If this occurs, the environment is favorable for robust supercells with an attendant large hail and severe wind threat. DISCUSSION...Multiple attempts at sustained deep convection are underway along the eastern slopes of the Sierra Madre mountains to the west of the lower Rio Grande. Storms that can remain sustained away from the orographic ascent along the terrain will migrate into an increasingly moist/buoyant air mass with eastward extent into Deep South TX where they will likely intensify into robust supercells given a very buoyant and strongly sheared environment (MLCAPE values upwards of 4000 J/kg with ~60 knots of effective deep layer shear). One deeper/stronger cell northwest of Rio Grande City, TX has recently exhibited echo tops above 50 kft, suggesting that this cell could remain sustained for the next few hours and pose a downstream threat for large hail (potentially upwards of 2.0 to 3.5 inches) and severe winds. Recent high-res guidance suggests multiple rounds of isolated convection may move into the region through the late evening and overnight hours. ...Moore/Smith.. 05/07/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7vhBMU0stYcViIWElb0qs2rt5X8D2krYq7GRtu8fNFLg-yn9KzEeMylxcv5q_xd965kj3Wsd6= vPBspZPf5k_21VIc5Y$ for graphic product...
