Day 1 Convective Outlook

Valid 151300Z - 161200Z

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected through tonight.

...Coastal Texas...
Scattered elevated convection is expected to continue across the
coastal plain as warm/moist advection persists while a weak
mid-level disturbance moves eastward over the western Gulf of
Mexico. Deeper lightning-producing convection will focus over the
open Gulf waters, but a few lightning flashes could occur near the
coast. This potential is substantiated by the 12z observed sounding
from Corpus Christi, which features 400 J/kg MUCAPE (based around
840mb) and a thermodynamic profile conducive for charge separation.
