SPC 0100Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0750 PM CDT Mon Apr 08 2024 Valid 090100Z - 091200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHERN AND EASTERN TEXAS... ...SUMMARY... Multiple rounds of severe thunderstorms are expected through tonight across a large portion of the southern Plains and into the lower Mississippi valley. Very large hail remains the main threat, though a few tornadoes and severe gusts are also possible. ...01z Update... Early-evening water-vapor imagery depicts a well-defined upper low settling southeast across AZ/northwest Mexico. This feature is forecast to progress to a position near 31N/108W by 12z as a 500mb speed max translates into the base of the trough over northern Mexico. LLJ is expected to increase markedly across TX tonight in response to the approaching trough, and this will sustain warm advection across the southern Plains into the day2 period. Moisture continues to surge northwest across TX, and this is reflected in a gradual expansion of deep convection across the TX South Plains (reference MCD #388 for more information). Additionally, an expansive corridor of deep convection is lifting north across east TX/LA within a strongly sheared environment. Sustained low-level warm advection will drive thunderstorm activity across this region overnight. While environmental shear favors supercells, significant storm mergers and clustering suggest one or more MCSs may ultimately evolve. Overall, very large hail should be the primary risk with supercells, though locally damaging winds, and perhaps a few tornadoes are possible. Earlier thoughts regarding the prospect for severe across this region continues. ..Darrow.. 04/09/2024 Read more

MD 0387 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 90... FOR PARTS OF CENTRAL/NORTHEAST TX INTO EXTREME NORTHWEST LA/SOUTHWEST AR
Mesoscale Discussion 0387 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0555 PM CDT Mon Apr 08 2024 Areas affected...Parts of central/northeast TX into extreme northwest LA/southwest AR Concerning...Tornado Watch 90... Valid 082255Z - 090030Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 90 continues. SUMMARY...The short-term severe threat remains uncertain, but a couple stronger supercells and/or storm clusters could evolve with time this evening, with all severe hazards possible. DISCUSSION...Convection has continued to spread northward from central into northeast TX, along the northern periphery of deeper returning low-level moisture. Despite MLCAPE in excess of 1500 J/kg and favorable deep-layer shear, convection has struggled to remain organized thus far, possibly due to a lack of stronger low-level flow and the impacts of northward-moving outflow. However, some short-term threat for hail and gusty winds may move north of WW 90 early this evening. As the low-level jet strengthens a little later this evening, ongoing convection may become more organized, with potential for a stronger supercell or two and/or an upscale growing cluster to develop with time. Should this occur, some increase in the tornado threat would be possible, in addition to an ongoing threat for hail and localized damaging gusts. Depending on short-term convective trends, WW 90 may need to be expanded to the north and west to cover the severe threat. Otherwise, there is some potential for additional watch issuance across parts of central/northeast TX later this evening, depending on the evolution of both ongoing convection and potential storm development to the west. ..Dean/Hart.. 04/08/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

WW 90 TORNADO LA TX 081825Z - 090100Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 90 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 125 PM CDT Mon Apr 8 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Northern and western Louisiana Central and east Texas * Effective this Monday afternoon and evening from 125 PM until 800 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... A couple tornadoes possible Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3 inches in diameter likely Isolated damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible SUMMARY...Supercells posing a threat for very large hail and a couple of tornadoes should gradually increase in coverage and intensity this afternoon as they spread east-northeastward. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles north and south of a line from 30 miles west northwest of College Station TX to 35 miles north northeast of Alexandria LA. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU0). 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 3 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector 24035. ...Gleason Read more

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 91 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 525 PM CDT Mon Apr 8 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Northwest Texas * Effective this Monday afternoon and evening from 525 PM until 1100 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3 inches in diameter likely Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75 mph possible A tornado or two possible SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms will increase in coverage and intensity this afternoon, with isolated supercells expected. The strongest storms will pose a risk of very large hail and damaging wind gusts. An isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles north and south of a line from 30 miles north of Big Spring TX to 75 miles northeast of Abilene TX.
