   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 365...

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 365
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Isolated large hail and locally damaging winds remain
   possible across portions of southeast Texas and far southwest
   Louisiana this afternoon.

   DISCUSSION...Latest radar data from KHGX/KLCH shows loosely
   organized clusters of convection (with weak embedded rotation)
   spreading slowly northward along a related outflow boundary across
   southeast TX and far southwest LA this afternoon. Ahead/north of the
   outflow, strong heating/destabilization of a very moist boundary
   layer (middle/upper 70s dewpoints) should support embedded strong
   updrafts, despite a somewhat anafrontal evolution of the convection.
   Additionally, VWP depicts around 30-40 kt of 0-6 km shear, and this
   may increase to around 50 kt as a subtle midlevel speed max
   (associated with remnant MCV to the northwest) continues
   east-southeastward. As a result, loosely organized clusters of
   storms (with transient/embedded supercell structures) will be
   capable of producing locally damaging winds (60-70 mph) and isolated
   large hail (1.0-1.75 inches) through the afternoon.
