Level 2 Tornado Watch remains in effect for South Texas. Thoughts on this watch are unchanged, as this update is concerning the potential for a Level 1 Severe T-Storm Watch we had mentioned at the end of our main discussion posted this afternoon.
As for the potential severe t-storm watch. . . do not find myself particularly willing to issue a watch, as no warnings have been issued and these storms are moving into an area of lesser instability and therefore less chance of severe weather. Cannot rule out small hail and occasional gusty winds. . . but do not believe the risk is big enough for a Level 1 watch to be issued.
At this point. . . feel that a new watch of some sort will be needed tomorrow morning as the severe weather threat shifts eastward along the Gulf Coast over the next couple days. If a watch is to be issued. . . expect the possible watch to cover Louisiana and Mississippi.
