    Areas affected...central to southern AL and portions of eastern MS

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 091942Z - 092215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are developing along a stationary front in
    central AL. These storms may pose a threat for localized small to
    marginally severe hail, but a WW is unlikely at this time.

    DISCUSSION...A couple of sustained, deep updrafts have formed in
    west-central AL along a stationary front during the last 30-60 min.
    Visible imagery suggests that a north-south convergence band --
    evidenced by more congested localized Cu -- may be associated with
    this convection initiation. Nearby surface stations on the warm side
    of the front are observing lower 70s F temperatures and dewpoints in
    the low to mid 60s F. This would support MLCAPE values of around
    500-1000 J/kg with the potential for surface-based convection. While
    minimal veering shear exists in the warm sector, current surface
    objective analysis and the KMXX VWP suggest local effective SRH
    values of up to 50-100 J/kg may be present. This low-level shear
    profile, along with larger cloud-layer shear around 60 kts, could
    support somewhat persistent updrafts along with a threat for
    marginally severe hail and wind gusts, but a WW is not expected.

    Areas affected...Portions of south-central and southeast Texas

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 54...

    Valid 152054Z - 152230Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 54
    continues.

    SUMMARY...The severe-storm risk continues across Severe Thunderstorm
    Watch 54. Large to very large hail remains the primary concern.

    DISCUSSION...Supercell clusters continue to evolve/intensify between
    San Antonio and Houston TX this afternoon, generally focused along
    the outflow-modified cold front draped across the area. The
    environment remains favorable for large to very large hail
    production (possibly increasing to near 2 to 3-inch diameter) with
    these supercells, given fairly weak sub-freezing level
    shear/buoyancy and favorable instability and cloud-layer shear
    through the hail-growth zone. So far, 1.75 inch hail and wind damage
    has been reported with this activity. In addition to the large-hail
    risk, severe-gust potential should also increase owing to localized
    upscale growth into larger supercell clusters and bowing segments.
    However, the increasing storm coverage could also lead to
    destructive interference with time, especially northwest of the
    Houston area.=20

    Farther west, two discrete supercells are ongoing west-northwest of
    Eagle Pass TX (across the International border). While these storms
    are largely anchored to the higher terrain, east-southeast
    right-mover and north-northeast left-mover storm motion vectors
    could allow this activity to spread across the border with time.
    Continued pre-convective heating/destabilization amid favorable
    vertical shear should support the maintenance of this activity into
    TX, with the primary risk being very large hail.
