Severe Storms

SPC 1200Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1237 AM CDT Sun May 05 2024 Valid 051200Z - 061200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTH TEXAS... ...SUMMARY... Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of South Texas today. A few strong, to locally severe, storms are also possible across the Mid-South and upper Ohio Valley. ...South TX to Mid-South... Southern Plains short-wave trough will progress into east TX by sunrise then eject across the Arklatex during the afternoon as a weakening 500mb speed max translates into the lower MS Valley. Low-level warm advection is not expected to be particularly strong ahead of this feature, but a modest LLJ will shift across the Arklatex into the middle TN Valley during the overnight hours. Early this morning, an expansive MCS has evolved ahead of the short wave over the southern Plains. This complex will propagate toward the lower Sabine River Valley then possibly weaken early in the period. Some airmass recovery is expected ahead of the MCS with modest heating expected from northern LA into northern MS by mid day. Of more concern is the trailing southwestern flank of the MCS across south-central TX. Early-day convection will likely extend across the TX Coastal Plain with more isolated activity farther west. However, convective outflow will sag south and serve as the focus for potential renewed robust convection later in the day. Surface temperatures should only warm through the 80s across deep south TX as east-southeasterly low-level flow will limit low-level lapse rates. However, the boundary may prove adequate for isolated supercells to develop within a sufficiently sheared environment for sustained rotating updrafts. Large hail and damaging winds would be the primary risk with the south TX activity. Isolated-scattered convection is expected to evolve across the Mid-South. While forecast lapse rates are poor, a few strong/severe storms could evolve ahead of the aforementioned short wave. Locally damaging winds and perhaps marginally severe hail are possible. ...Ohio Valley... Strong short-wave trough will advance across the upper Great Lakes into western QC by the end of the period. Southern influence of this feature will glance the upper OH Valley such that a few strong storms could evolve during the day. Surface front will be the primary focus for convective development, but forecast soundings show only modest surface-6km bulk shear, and do not exhibit particularly steep lapse rates (6-6.5 C/km). Gusty winds and marginally severe hail are the primary risks. ..Darrow/Flournoy.. 05/05/2024 Read more

WW 185 SEVERE TSTM TX 050000Z - 050700Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 185 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 700 PM CDT Sat May 4 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Central and South-Central Texas * Effective this Saturday night and Sunday morning from 700 PM until 200 AM CDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5 inches in diameter possible Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible A tornado or two possible SUMMARY...Severe storms including supercells will gradually spread eastward into a broad part of central Texas, and possibly across the Rio Grande, while upstream storms across southwest Texas are also expected to organize and move into the region. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles east and west of a line from 45 miles east northeast of Stephenville TX to 40 miles west southwest of Hondo TX. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU5). 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. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce tornadoes. && OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 183...WW 184... AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 2.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 550. Mean storm motion vector 29025. ...Guyer Read more

MD 0638 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 185... FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0638 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1025 PM CDT Sat May 04 2024 Areas affected...portions of central Texas Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 185... Valid 050325Z - 050530Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 185 continues. SUMMARY...Widespread convection continues across portions of central Texas, along with isolated severe risk. DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a large area of storm moving across central texas, with more isolated storms extending southwestward across the Edwards Plateau area. While overall severe risk has gradually decreased, stronger/organized updrafts persist locally, which will likely remain the case over the next few hours. The most substantial storm remains the long-lived/rotating cluster now crossing the western Sutton County vicinity, where damaging winds and hail appear likely, along with some chance for a brief tornado. ..Goss.. 05/05/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0637 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 184... FOR PORTIONS OF THE EDWARDS PLATEAU OF TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0637 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0940 PM CDT Sat May 04 2024 Areas affected...portions of the Edwards Plateau of Texas Concerning...Tornado Watch 184... Valid 050240Z - 050315Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 184 continues. SUMMARY...Isolated severe risk continues across portions of the Edwards Plateau vicinity. Extension of WW 184 in time, beyond its scheduled 05/03Z expiration, may be needed for a portion of the area. DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows convection generally decreasing in intensity, though a lone storm moving eastward along the Crockett/Val Verde County line remains supercellular, with radar indications of a large -- though broad -- mesocyclone. Very large hail remains possible with this storm, along with locally damaging winds, and the evident rotation suggests at least some continued potential for a tornadic spin-up. While this storm will eventually move into Severe Thunderstorm Watch 185 if it maintains current trajectory/intensity, a local extension of WW 184 may be needed to cover short term severe risk. ..Goss.. 05/05/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

WW 184 TORNADO TX 041930Z - 050300Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 184 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 230 PM CDT Sat May 4 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Southwest Texas * Effective this Saturday afternoon and evening from 230 PM until 1000 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes likely with a couple intense tornadoes possible Widespread large hail and scattered very large hail events to 4.5 inches in diameter likely Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely SUMMARY...Widely scattered to scattered thunderstorms are forecast to develop and intensify rapidly this afternoon. Large to giant hail will accompany the more intense supercells. As the stronger supercells move east into richer low-level moisture in the Pecos Valley, a greater risk for a few tornadoes is forecast. The risk for a strong tornado may maximize during the late afternoon to early evening timeframe. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 70 statute miles north and south of a line from 40 miles west southwest of Fort Stockton TX to 15 miles north of Junction TX. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU4). 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 183...
