WW 715 TORNADO LA TX CW 261735Z - 270100Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 715 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1135 AM CST Thu Dec 26 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Extreme west central Louisiana East central and southeast Texas Coastal Waters * Effective this Thursday morning and evening from 1135 AM until 700 PM CST. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes likely with a couple intense tornadoes possible Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter possible Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible SUMMARY...Scattered supercell development is expected across southeast Texas through the afternoon/evening, and storms will spread northeastward into east central Texas. The storm environment will support the potential for several tornadoes, including a strong (EF2+) tornado or two, along with large hail of 1-2 inches in diameter and isolated severe outflow gusts of 60-70 mph. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 85 statute miles east and west of a line from 70 miles north of Lufkin TX to 15 miles west of Houston TX. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU5). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. && OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 714... AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 2 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500.

MD 2287 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 715... FOR LOUISIANA
Mesoscale Discussion 2287 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0457 PM CST Thu Dec 26 2024 Areas affected...Louisiana Concerning...Tornado Watch 715... Valid 262257Z - 270000Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 715 continues. SUMMARY...Severe threat is expected to spread into central and southern Louisiana this evening. New tornado watch appears warranted. DISCUSSION...Strong, negative-tilt short-wave trough is ejecting across east TX early this evening. 500mb speed max is forecast to translate across northern LA which will encourage LLJ to shift north across the lower MS over the next 3-6hr. As this occurs, warm sector will recover a bit across LA, especially southwestern LA where surface dew points are rising through the mid 60s. This will contribute to near-surface based buoyancy, that appears adequate, for maintaining ongoing, upstream supercell activity. Latest radar data depicts several longer-lived supercells over southeast TX that will track northeast into a strongly sheared air mass, just east of ww715. This evolving risk likely warrants a new tornado watch immediately downstream. ..Darrow.. 12/26/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...JAN...LCH...SHV...

MD 2286 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 715... FOR SOUTHEAST TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 2286 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0326 PM CST Thu Dec 26 2024 Areas affected...Southeast Texas Concerning...Tornado Watch 715... Valid 262126Z - 262330Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 715 continues. SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across southeast TX as a broken line of storms approaches the upper TX Gulf coast and the lower Sabine River. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms within a broken convective line continue to undulate in intensity with periodic, somewhat well-organized, low-level mesocyclones across the TX Coastal Plain. Despite relatively transient periods of storm organization/intensity, a recent tornado report from the El Campo, TX area indicates that the current convective environment is sufficient for at least brief tornadoes. The KHGX VWP continues to show slowly strengthening low-level winds with 0-1 km SRH oscillating between 150-250 m2/s2, and this trend is expected to continue through early evening as the surface low to the north continues to deepen. Organized precipitation distribution evident in shallow convection in/around the Houston metro area confirms a favorable low-level wind environment is in place, and is contributing to STP values between 2-3. As such, the tornado threat is expected to persist well into the late afternoon/early evening hours as storms push east towards the coast and the lower Sabine River. Recent high-res guidance suggests the tornado threat may peak during the 22-02 UTC period to the east/northeast of the Houston metro towards the Sabine River when the temporal overlap of buoyancy and strong low-level shear will be greatest. Watch issuance east of the river may be needed later this afternoon/evening based on convective trends over the next few hours. ..Moore.. 12/26/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 2284 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 714... FOR NORTHEAST TEXAS INTO THE ARKLATEX VICINITY
Mesoscale Discussion 2284 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0112 PM CST Thu Dec 26 2024 Areas affected...northeast Texas into the ArkLaTex vicinity Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 714... Valid 261912Z - 262115Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 714 continues. SUMMARY...The risk for severe wind and hail continues across northeast Texas and the ArkLaTex vicinity. Potential may increase by 21-00z/3-6 pm CST. DISCUSSION...Strong thunderstorms will continue to track northeast across the region through late afternoon. While strong vertical shear is resulting in some organized line segments and more semi-discrete cells, convection has struggled to maintain intensity given the weak thermodynamic environment. Nevertheless, some additional destabilization may occur over the next couple of hours while the low-level jet increases with eastward extent. Isolated large hail to 1.75 inch diameter and gusts to 65 mph still remains possible with elevated convection into early evening. ..Leitman/Thompson.. 12/26/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
