MD 0701 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 197... FOR SOUTH-CENTRAL TEXAS Mesoscale Discussion 0701 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0951 PM CDT Sun May 10 2026 Areas affected...south-central Texas Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 197... Valid 110251Z - 110515Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 197 continues. SUMMARY...A few severe wind gusts remain possible as activity spreads south/southeast. Isolated large hail may occur toward the lower Rio Grande Valley. DISCUSSION...Storms continue to propagate southeastward across central TX and toward the Rio Grande Valley as the aggregate outflow/cold front pushes south. Surface observations have generally shown gusts of 35 to 50 mph, and this is generally expected as storms affect the I-35 corridor. Toward the Rio Grande, sporadic upticks in intensity have been noted, though the southern portion of this line/outflow has not yet consolidated into an MCS. This scenario remains possible over the next several hours as the air mass remains very moist and unstable. Depending on storm trends, a watch could be needed for parts of Deep South TX for wind & hail potential. ..Jewell.. 05/11/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
