Severe-hail-producing storms should continue across deep south Texas for a few more hours. Severe gusts may also continue into the evening with storms in Louisiana as they move along the Gulf Coast.

A mid-level trough continues to traverse the southern U.S., with a moist and unstable airmass fueling strong to severe thunderstorms along immediate portions of the Gulf Coast. A trailing outflow boundary continues to progress across Deep South Texas, where hail-producing supercells continue to move offshore into the Gulf of Mexico. Large hail remains possible over the next couple of hours while storms remain onshore. Meanwhile, an organized bow-echo MCS continues to move across LA, where multiple severe gusts (some over 65 kts) have been reported. This MCS is beginning to move toward a cooler, more stable airmass, which should dampen the severe wind threat to a degree. Nonetheless, at least a few more severe gusts may continue along the immediate Gulf Coast, where at least Slight risk probabilities have been maintained. Finally, a few supercells continue to move across the central FL peninsula, while additional storms continue to approach the peninsula from the Gulf. Here, the severe threat should also subside with nocturnal cooling. In the meantime, an isolated instance of severe hail or wind cannot be ruled out. A couple of strong storms remain possible over the southern Plains into the Ozarks closer to a weak surface low. Before nocturnal cooling, one of the stronger storms could produce a marginally severe gust or instance of hail. ..Squitieri.. 05/14/2024 Read more

MD 0774 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 238... FOR DEEP SOUTH TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0774 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0620 PM CDT Mon May 13 2024 Areas affected...Deep South Texas Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 238... Valid 132320Z - 140045Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 238 continues. SUMMARY...Strong/locally severe storms continue across Deep South Texas in/near WW 238. Expansion area of the WW may be appropriate, given potential for storms to exit the WW. DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows strong storms crossing Deep South Texas, largely within WW 238. However, a few storms -- which have produced hail up to golfball size recently -- may near/move out of the southeastern fringe of the watch. With a favorably unstable environment near/south of the front, a focus for ascent, and deep-layer shear supporting rotating storms, expect risk for large hail and damaging winds to continue. This suggests consideration for an extension of the WW to cover additional counties within the WFO Brownsville area along the river, not currently in the watch. ..Goss.. 05/13/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

WW 237 SEVERE TSTM LA TX CW 131800Z - 140100Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 237 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 100 PM CDT Mon May 13 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Southwest Louisiana Southeast Texas Coastal Waters * Effective this Monday afternoon and evening from 100 PM until 800 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 80 mph likely Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3 inches in diameter likely A tornado or two possible SUMMARY...Clusters of storms are expected to move and develop eastward into southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana through this evening. The storm environment favors a mix of supercells capable of producing very large hail up to 3 inches in diameter, as well as some upscale growth into clusters/bowing segments with the potential for damaging winds of 60-80 mph. A tornado or two could occur with favorable storm/boundary interactions. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 65 statute miles north and south of a line from 50 miles north of Victoria TX to 25 miles east northeast of Lake Charles LA. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU7). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favorable for 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.
