   Areas affected...North-central TX to the Ark-La-Tex

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 717...

   Valid 281338Z - 281445Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 717
   continues.

   SUMMARY...An isolated severe threat may persist into late morning,
   mainly within the southern portion of WW 717.

   DISCUSSION...Despite fairly extensive elevated convective
   development through daybreak, much of the activity has struggled to
   greatly intensify. Elevated MUCAPE appears most pronounced near the
   Ark-La-Tex, per the 12Z SHV sounding, but has supported only
   marginally severe activity thus far. Meanwhile, convection farther
   southwest in north-central to northeast TX has largely clustered and
   failed to sustain supercell structures despite adequate deep-layer
   shear. Convection may continue to struggle within WW 717. More
   prominent severe potential should develop though, to the south and
   east of this watch (see MCD 2294/WW 718 for forecast info in that
   region).
