    Mesoscale Discussion 1697
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1009 PM CST Fri Dec 07 2018

    Areas affected...portions of the middle/upper Texas coast

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 080409Z - 080545Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Limited/isolated risk for gusty/damaging winds or a
    brief/weak tornado will exist over the next few hours within the
    discussion area.

    DISCUSSION...Latest surface analysis shows the northwestern
    periphery of the warm sector -- east and northeast of a surface low
    in the vicinity of PSX -- resides just slightly inland in the
    Galveston area. The warm sector is characterized thermodynamically
    by a moist boundary layer but weak lapse rates aloft, and
    kinematically by veering/increasing flow with height providing shear
    sufficient for organized convection. Within this environment, a
    band of semi-organized convection -- embedded within the
    larger/broader area of precipitation across the region -- is moving
    across the Houston metro area at this time. With some bowing
    observed in the line, and an occasional/very weak low-level
    circulation, an isolated stronger/locally damaging wind gust or even
    a brief tornado will be possible.

    With the low progged to move east-northeast along/just off the Texas
    coast, the warm sector may penetrate just slightly inland near the
    mouth of the Sabine River -- and thus very limited severe risk may
    reach extreme southwest Louisiana over the next couple of hours.
