Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 446...

Valid 270739Z - 270945Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 446
continues.

SUMMARY...Isolated downdraft-wind damage, and perhaps gusts locally
near severe limits, still may occur over the Arklatex region before
the line of thunderstorms moves over progressively more-stable air
and weakens.

DISCUSSION...Surface mesoanalysis shows a Pacific occluded/cold
front extending from a low over northwestern OK across the DFW
Metroplex to near SAT and Eagle Pass TX. Ahead of that front, a
quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) was moving eastward across the
watch area near an MWT-TXK-ASL line southwestward to between
CLL-UTS, and over the middle Texas Coastal Plain. A warm front --
denoting the northern rim of the Gulf/maritime-tropical air mass
with relatively uninhibited, surface-based inflow parcels --
intersected the QLCS near UTS, around Walker County TX, extending
southward over the HOU metro and GLS area, then eastward across
southeast TX/LA shelf waters.

Modifications to both the 00Z SHV RAOB and RAP soundings indicate
elevated buoyancy extending 150-250 nm northeast of the warm front,
but over strengthening boundary-layer static stability.
Accordingly, objective analyses and modified soundings reasonably
show MLCINH around 100 J/kg in the LFK/OCH areas, increasing to over
300 J/kg along I-20 and northward in the watch. Elevated MUCAPE
around 1000-1500 J/kg is evident within about 75 nm east of the line
over AR, and near the TX/LA border farther south. While slow
increase in theta-e/buoyancy and decrease in CINH is expected in the
boundary layer, as the warm front moves inland, the QLCS will
outpace that process over AR and northwestern LA, resulting in a
diminishing severe-wind threat eastward and with time in the
Arklatex. In the meantime, water-loaded downdrafts still may punch strong/damaging gusts to the surface in a few locales.
