WW 94 TORNADO TX 091440Z - 092200Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 94 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 940 AM CDT Tue Apr 9 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Central Texas * Effective this Tuesday morning and afternoon from 940 AM until 500 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes possible Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5 inches in diameter likely Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible SUMMARY...Several thunderstorm clusters, including a mix of supercells and bowing line segments, are expected along a stalled front across central Texas through the afternoon. More isolated supercell development will be possible later this morning into early this afternoon into the I-35 corridor closer to Austin. The storm environment will support the potential for large hail up to 2.5 inches in diameter, damaging gusts of 60-70 mph, and potentially a few tornadoes. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 40 statute miles north and south of a line from 50 miles west of Austin TX to 140 miles east northeast of Temple 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. && AVIATION...Tornadoes and 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 25025. ...Thompson Read more

Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0302 PM CDT Tue Apr 09 2024 Valid 101200Z - 111200Z No changes are needed to the D2 Fire Weather Outlook. See previous discussion below for more information. ..Thornton.. 04/09/2024 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0109 AM CDT Tue Apr 09 2024/ ...Synopsis... A strong mid-level jet streak will align with northwesterly low-level flow in the wake of a surface low across Texas on Wednesday. This will result in very strong northwesterly flow across much of Texas with sustained winds up to 30 mph expected near the Red River and into southern Texas, beneath the strongest mid-level flow. In this same region, relative humidity of 20 to 25 percent is expected. These conditions will combine for critical meteorological fire weather conditions. However, have only added an Elevated delineation, as fuel status remains questionable across portions of southern Texas. Fuels greened up across this region earlier this spring, but there has been minimal precipitation over the past 2 weeks. An additional complicating factor is the potential for wetting rain on Day 1 (Tuesday/Tuesday night) which would significantly impact fuel receptiveness across some portions of the area. Therefore, an Elevated delineation seems warranted at this time. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more
