   Areas affected...Middle Texas Coast

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 231833Z - 232030Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

   SUMMARY...A compact MCS will be capable of severe winds along the
   middle Texas Coast. The threat will remain spatially confined to the
   immediate coast and a watch is not expected.

   DISCUSSION...A compact MCS developed in the vicinity of Corpus
   Christi earlier this afternoon. This feature has had a history of
   severe gusts (53-59 kt measured in Corpus Christi). Given the radar
   signature on KCRP velocity data and a favorable thermodynamic
   environment ahead of the MCS, severe gusts along the immediate coast
   will remain possible. This activity will likely interact with
   convection near Houston. At that time, severe potential should
   diminish.
