SPC 0100Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0752 PM CDT Tue May 06 2025 Valid 070100Z - 071200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTH TEXAS...THE TEXAS COASTAL PLAIN...SABINE RIVER VALLEY...LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY... ...SUMMARY... Severe storms, associated with large hail, severe gusts and an isolated tornado threat, will be possible across parts of the Texas Coastal Plain, Sabine River Valley and lower Mississippi Valley this evening. Marginally severe hail will also be possible in parts of west Texas. ...Texas Coastal Plain/Sabine River Valley/Lower Mississippi Valley... Latest surface analysis shows a cold front across the Texas Coastal Plain, along which a broken line of strong thunderstorms is ongoing. An MCS is located from east Texas eastward across much of Louisiana, along and near a warm front. The MCS is being supported by large-scale ascent associated with a shortwave trough, evident on water vapor imagery over the Ark-La-Tex and lower Mississippi Valley. The storms are also being supported by warm advection from southern Louisiana into far southern Mississippi, where the RAP has MLCAPE in the 1000 to 2000 J/kg range. The MCS will continue to move eastward across this unstable airmass this evening. Within the MCS, rotating storms should be capable of producing large hail and wind damage. In addition, the Lake Charles, Louisiana 00Z Sounding has 0-3 km storm-relative helicity near 500 m2/s2. This will support an isolated tornado threat with supercells that remain strong this evening. Further southwest from the Texas Coastal Plain into south Texas, a very moist and unstable airmass will reside this evening. In south Texas, the RAP suggests that MLCAPE is as great as 4500 J/kg. The strong instability is reflected on the 00Z sounding at Brownsville, Texas, where 0-6 km shear is near 50 knots, and the 700-500 mb lapse rate is near 8 C/km. This environment will support supercell development later this evening into the overnight period as a subtle shortwave trough moves into the region. Isolated large hail and severe gusts will be possible. ...West Texas... A mid-level low is currently evident on water vapor imagery across eastern New Mexico. A trough extends southeastward from the low across west and north Texas. The trough is supporting thunderstorm storm development along and near an axis of instability. The RAP is estimating MLCAPE in the 500 to 750 J/kg range over parts of the Caprock near Lubbock. In addition, the Lubbock WSR-88D VWP has 0-6 km shear near 45 knots. RAP forecast soundings early this evening near Lubbock have steep low to mid-level lapse rates in the 7 to 8 C/km range. This environment should support a marginal threat for hail and severe gusts over the next hour or two. ..Broyles.. 05/07/2025 Read more

MD 0726 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 234...235... FOR MUCH OF SRN/ERN LA...WRN MS
Mesoscale Discussion 0726 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0601 PM CDT Tue May 06 2025 Areas affected...much of srn/ern LA...wrn MS Concerning...Tornado Watch 234...235... Valid 062301Z - 070100Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 234, 235 continues. SUMMARY...The more discrete storms may occasionally intensify and pose a risk for a tornado through 7-9 PM CDT. Otherwise, storms may tend to slowly consolidate into another organizing but slow moving cluster, accompanied by a risk for locally damaging wind gusts and/or brief tornadoes while spreading eastward across the lower Mississippi Valley. DISCUSSION...A meso-beta scale cyclonic circulation continues slowly eastward across north central Louisiana, with a compact but vigorous arcing band of convection being maintained to its immediate southeast through south. This has evolved along a weak near-surface baroclinic zone slowly retreating northward through the lower Mississippi Valley. 21-22Z surface observations have indicated the continuing presence of a notable 2-hourly surface fall/rise couplet (in excess of 2 mb) in association with this perturbation, though little in the way strong surface gusts have been observed. Along and south of the frontal zone, there has been a substantive increase in thunderstorm development, some of which has or could still become rooted within a seasonably moist boundary-layer characterized by lower 70s F surface dew points and CAPE on the order of 2000 J/kg. Thunderstorm initiation has likely been supported by large-scale forcing for ascent associated with broad lower/mid-tropospheric warm advection, beneath strongly difluent upper flow which will only very slowly continue to overspread the lower Mississippi Valley through mid/late evening. As long as discrete thunderstorm development persists, there will be potential for occasional intensification, as these cells become rooted within the boundary-layer, in the presence of sizable clockwise-curved low-level hodographs conditionally supportive of strong tornadoes. However, within time, models suggest that the southerly 850 mb may begin to weaken, and consolidating convection may tend to grow upscale into organized but slow moving convective system. ..Kerr.. 05/06/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0725 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 233... FOR EASTERN NEW YORK AND PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHERN NEW JERSEY
Mesoscale Discussion 0725 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0457 PM CDT Tue May 06 2025 Areas affected...Eastern New York and portions of northeast Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 233... Valid 062157Z - 070000Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 233 continues. SUMMARY...A band of thunderstorms beginning to move out of WW 233 has shown signs of weakening over the past hour. However, residual buoyancy and strong shear downstream may maintain some severe risk into parts of eastern New York. Downstream watch issuance is not currently expected, but trends will be monitored. DISCUSSION...Lightning counts have trended down within an arcing band of storms moving out of northeast PA and into NY. Concurrently, GOES IR imagery shows a slight warming trend in cloud-top temperatures, also suggesting a gradual weakening trend. Currently, the best convective environment resides across eastern portions of WW 233 - specifically far eastern PA into northern NJ and southern NY - where a few robust cells continue to show periodic intensification. Although some buoyancy exists immediately downstream of the convective band (around 250-500 J/kg MLCAPE), the overall weakening trend is largely expected to continue as the onset of the early evening transition within the next 1-2 hours begins to limit surface-based buoyancy and increase inhibition. However, robust ascent ahead of a mid-level shortwave/vorticity maximum and 45-50 knots of deep-layer shear sampled by regional VWPs may continue to support storm maintenance and occasional intensification of cells and/or segments within the line. Given the aforementioned thermodynamic challenges, this is not anticipated to be a widespread threat, but localized areas of damaging gusts appear possible through 00 UTC. ..Moore.. 05/06/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 235 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 510 PM CDT Tue May 6 2025 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Northeast into Southeast Louisiana Southwest into Central Mississippi * Effective this Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning from 510 PM until 100 AM CDT. * Primary threats include... A couple tornadoes possible Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible Scattered large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are forecast to develop and move into the Watch area this evening into the early overnight. A few supercells and line segments will likely focus the severe thunderstorm and tornado risks. A couple of tornadoes are possible with the more intense thunderstorms, as well as damaging gusts and large hail. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles east and west of a line from 60 miles east northeast of Monroe LA to 75 miles south southwest of Mc Comb MS. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU5). 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. && OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 233...WW 234... AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 1.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500.
