MD 0263 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 54... FOR SOUTHEAST TEXAS...SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA
Mesoscale Discussion 0263 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0605 PM CDT Fri Mar 15 2024 Areas affected...Southeast Texas...Southwest Louisiana Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 54... Valid 152305Z - 160100Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 54 continues. SUMMARY...A severe threat is expected to continue across parts of southeast Texas and far southwest Louisiana for a couple more hours. Isolated large hail and wind damage will be the main threats. The severe threat may spread eastward further into southwest Louisiana, but is expected to be too marginal for additional weather watch issuance. DISCUSSION...The latest hi-resolution radar imagery from Houston shows a cluster of strong thunderstorms near the Texas-Louisiana state line, with additional more discrete storms to the southwest of Houston. The storms are located along the eastern edge of a moderately unstable airmass where the RAP has MLCAPE in the 1500 to 2500 J/kg range. In addition, the WSR-88D VWP at Houston and Lake Charles have 0-6 km shear generally in the 55 to 65 knot range. This environment should support a severe threat for a couple more hours, with a potential for wind damage and isolated large hail. On radar, an outflow boundary is moving southward off the coast of southwest Louisiana. The airmass behind the boundary is more stable. As the stronger cells move eastward into this relatively weak instability across southwest Louisiana, the severe threat is expected to become marginal. For this reason, watch issuance is not planned to the east of WW 54. ..Broyles.. 03/15/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...LCH...HGX...EWX...
