Low-level moisture, characterized by dew points in the mid 50s to lower 60s, will gradually increase across portions of southern/eastern TX through tonight ahead of a positively-tilted upper trough and surface cold front. The cold front will move east and should extend from central WI southwest to central TX by 12z Saturday. Steepening mid-level lapse rates will contribute to MUCAPE of 400-600 J/kg, primarily after 06z. An area of showers and thunderstorms is expected to develop across central/eastern TX late tonight as modest height falls and low-level warm advection increase. Weak elevated instability should preclude a severe risk with these thunderstorms.
