Areas affected...portions of southeastern Texas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

Valid 051818Z - 051915Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...An increase in localized severe potential is evident with
an intensifying supercell. Severe wind and hail are the main
threats, though a tornado could also occur.

DISCUSSION...MRMS mosaic radar imagery depicts a deepening supercell
updraft across Lee County, TX, with 40 dBZ echoes exceeding 50 kft
and MESH exceeding 1.5 inches. KGRK radar data shows this supercell
deviating to the right, toward a surface airmass with mid to upper
70s/60s F temperatures/dewpoints and SBCAPE approaching 1000 J/kg.
It is possible that this currently elevated supercell may become
surface-based, allowing for this storm to ingest more buoyant
parcels and favorable low-level shear (evident via curved low-level
hodographs on the EWX and GRK VADs). As such, a severe hail/gust
threat may be increasing, and a tornado cannot be ruled out.
