Areas affected...Parts of east-central/northeast TX into northwest
LA and southwest AR

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

Valid 110808Z - 110945Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...An uptick in the severe threat is possible overnight, with
some potential for all severe hazards. Watch issuance is possible.

DISCUSSION...Storms have been generally disorganized early this
morning across northeast TX, with the bulk of deeper convection
appearing to be slightly elevated to the north of a expansive
convective outflow. However, convection has been gradually
increasing within a modest warm-advection regime to the south of the
outflow, within an environment characterized by moderate buoyancy
and sufficient deep-layer shear for organized storms. Increasing
ascent downstream of a mid/upper-level shortwave trough currently
moving across southwest TX may allow for gradually increasing storm
coverage from parts of east-central TX into the ArkLaTex.=20

Some weakening of low-level flow has been noted on the KSHV VWP, but
effective SRH remains more than sufficient for a conditional tornado
threat, in addition to localized hail and damaging-wind potential.
Substantial uncertainty remains regarding the potential for
surface-based convection to mature within this regime, given the
current disorganization of convection and a tendency for the
low-level jet to become focused to the north of the region, but
watch issuance is possible if observational trends begin to support
potential for supercell development.
