Day 4-8 Outlook
Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0336 AM CST Sun Feb 11 2024 Valid 141200Z - 191200Z ...DISCUSSION... Mid-level westerly flow is forecast to develop across much of the continental United States on Wednesday and Wednesday night. At this time, high pressure is forecast to be dominant across the nation making conditions unfavorable for thunderstorms. From Thursday into Friday, weak moisture return is forecast to take place from the southern Plains into the Ark-La-Tex. Thunderstorms could develop along the northern edge of the returning low-level moisture. A severe threat is not expected due to limited instability. From Saturday into Sunday, a cold front is forecast to move quickly southeastward across the Southeast. This dry and cold airmass should be unfavorable for thunderstorm development over the weekend.

WW 15 SEVERE TSTM TX 110355Z - 111000Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 15 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 955 PM CST Sat Feb 10 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of West-central Texas * Effective this Saturday night and Sunday morning from 955 PM until 400 AM CST. * Primary threats include... Scattered large hail likely with isolated very large hail events to 2.5 inches in diameter possible Isolated damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible A tornado or two possible SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will intensify tonight along a cold front over west-central Texas. These storms will likely pose a risk of large hail and isolated damaging wind gusts as they track east-northeastward across the watch area. A tornado or two cannot be ruled out in the southern part of the watch. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 95 statute miles east and west of a line from 85 miles southwest of Junction TX to 45 miles east northeast of Abilene 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. && 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 500. Mean storm motion vector 25035. ...Hart Read more

MD 0121 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 15... FOR CENTRAL TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0121 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0126 AM CST Sun Feb 11 2024 Areas affected...central Texas Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 15... Valid 110726Z - 110930Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 15 continues. SUMMARY...A cluster of thunderstorms will continue to spread east-northeastward toward the Interstate 35 corridor of north central and central Texas through 3-5 AM CST. This activity may continue to pose some risk for severe hail and gusty winds, mainly near/north of the Junction through Austin vicinities. DISCUSSION...Stronger flow around the 500 mb level is still nosing into areas near/north of the Texas Big Bend. But a more modest preceding speed maximum, which likely has provided support for the evolving ongoing cluster of storms, is forecast to continue propagating north-northeastward across central Texas through 09-11Z. The associated convection likely will remain rooted within lift associated with lower/mid-tropospheric warm advection, above cold surface-based air now nosing south-southeast of the Texas South Plains. North of the Junction/Kerrville/Austin/College Station vicinities, a more modestly cool and stable near-surface layer is not likely to modify much in advance of the convection. However, elevated instability and cloud-bearing layer shear may remain sufficient to continue supporting some risk for severe hail and gusty winds, particularly near the southern flank of the convective system passing near/north of the Junction and Austin vicinities. Farther south, where mid/upper forcing for ascent becomes more negligible, warmer and more strongly capping mid-level air is forecast to inhibit convective development. ..Kerr.. 02/11/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Thunderstorms are not expected across the continental U.S. on Tuesday and Tuesday night. ...DISCUSSION... An upper-level trough is forecast to move eastward away from the East Coast on Tuesday, as west-northwest mid-level flow remains established across much of the continental United States. At the surface on Tuesday, an area of high pressure will be located from the southern Plains into the Mississippi Valley. Dry air advection associated with the high pressure system and relatively cold conditions across the nation will be unfavorable for thunderstorm development Tuesday and Tuesday night. ..Broyles.. 02/11/2024 Read more
