    Mesoscale Discussion 0394

    Areas affected...Portions of central Texas

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

    Valid 130032Z - 130230Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Large hail (isolated up to 2 inches) and severe wind gusts
    are possible into mid evening with storms in central Texas. A watch
    is not anticipated given limited forcing and storm coverage.

    DISCUSSION...Storms in the vicinity of San Saba and Mills Counties
    have intensified over the last hour. These storms are forming along
    the western edge of rain-cooled air from convection farther east.
    This evening's observed soundings from the region indicate steep
    mid-level lapse rates (7.5-8 C/km). While mid-level winds will tend
    to weaken with time, storms will remain at least periodically
    organized into the evening. Given the relatively straight
    hodographs, storm splits can be expected. The greatest potential for
    severe weather (particularly large hail) will be from left-moving
    cells. These storms will maintain warm/moist inflow as they move north-northeast away from the cooler air. How long storms can remain
    strong to severe is not certain given lack of large-scale forcing.
