    Areas affected...Parts of central Texas into the Ark-La-Tex

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 140430Z - 140700Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms may initiate near the Corsicana and Tyler
    vicinity by 1-3 AM, with a possible eastward and southeastward
    advancing squall line evolving thereafter. This probably will be
    accompanied by at least some risk for severe wind gusts, and perhaps
    some hail. The extent of this threat remains a bit uncertain, but
    it is possible that a severe weather watch may become necessary
    later tonight.

    DISCUSSION...Within strong, deep-layer cyclonic flow, an embedded
    short wave perturbation appears to be providing support for
    increasing large-scale ascent, now spreading northeast of the
    Edwards Plateau and Hill Country (based on latest water vapor
    imagery). At the same time, at least modest boundary-layer based destabilization appears to be ongoing in a corridor south/southeast
    of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, toward the Ark-La-Tex, where
    rapid surface dew point rises into the lower/mid 60s F have been
    evident this evening. This is occurring near the nose of a remnant
    elevated plume of warm air associated with deep daytime
    boundary-layer mixing, emanating from the Rio Grande Valley.

    Although the surface-based moistening appears somewhat shallow, it
    seems increasingly probable that it will be sufficient to support
    increasing thunderstorm development by the 06-08Z time frame. This
    may be initially aided by lift enhanced by low-level warm advection,
    in the vicinity of a strengthening low-level jet (in excess of 50 kt
    at 850 mb) across the Corsicana/Tyler vicinity. Thereafter, model
    output, including the convection allowing HRRR, suggests that
    low-level frontogenetic forcing may support the rapid evolution of a
    narrow squall line.

    Any initial warm advection driven storms may be accompanied by at
    least some risk for marginal severe hail, given the strong shear and thermodynamic profiles characterized by substantial convective
    instability and CAPE up to around 1000 J/kg. However, strong
    surface gusts, perhaps occasionally reaching severe limits, seems
    likely to become the primary potential hazard as the line of storms
    advances eastward and southeastward across northeastern Texas.
