WW 343 SEVERE TSTM LA CW 281720Z - 282300Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 343 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1220 PM CDT Tue May 28 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Southwest Louisiana Coastal Waters * Effective this Tuesday afternoon and evening from 1220 PM until 600 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts to 80 mph possible Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5 inches in diameter possible A tornado or two possible SUMMARY...A fast-moving line of thunderstorms over southeast Texas will track across the watch area this afternoon, posing a risk of significant damaging winds and hail. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 55 statute miles north and south of a line from 45 miles northwest of Lake Charles LA to 40 miles east southeast of Lafayette LA. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU3). 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 342... AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 2.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 70 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector 29040. ...Hart Read more

MD 1051 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 345... FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHWESTERN TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 1051 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0336 PM CDT Tue May 28 2024 Areas affected...portions of southwestern Texas Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 345... Valid 282036Z - 282130Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 345 continues. SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Severe Thunderstorm Watch 345. Severe hail and wind remain the primary threats, with a couple instances of 2+ inch diameter hail and 65+ kt wind gusts possible. Significant severe wind gusts are most likely with merging storm clusters. DISCUSSION...Multicells with embedded transient supercells have developed over the Trans Pecos in the past few hours, with the KMAF radar showing 50 kft echo tops, and MRMS mosaic radar imagery showing MESH tracks potentially producing hail over 2 inches in diameter in spots. These storms will continue to track eastward amid a buoyant and strongly sheared airmass. The more dominant updrafts will remain capable of producing severe wind and hail for at least a few more hours. A couple stones may exceed 2 inches in diameter. If greater upscale growth into one or more pronounced MCSs occurs, severe gusts will become the main threat, with a few 65+ kt gusts possible. ..Squitieri.. 05/28/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0351 PM CDT Tue May 28 2024 Valid 301200Z - 051200Z ... Large-scale fire-weather conditions look to be minimal over the next week ... A mid-level ridge across the Intermountain West early in the week will give way to a broadly zonal pattern by late week. No synoptic-scale troughs are expected to traverse through the flow, leaving little mid-to-upper-level support for increased surface winds across the Southwest. That said, smaller-scale perturbations in the zonal flow, particularly those moving along the northern periphery of the subtropical ridge, may result in locally elevated-to-critical fire weather conditions on any given day -- especially given the single-digit relative humidity. By early next week (Days 7/8), numerical guidance suggests a larger-scale trough will move through the northern United States. The exact timing/evolution/path of this trough will determine if an increase in synoptic-scale surface winds across the Southwest will occur. Presently, numerical guidance continues to indicate widespread uncertainty in timing/strength/location of this developing trough. Early next week will bear watching in future updates as it pertains to potentially needing probabilities of critical fire weather conditions. ..Marsh.. 05/28/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
