Re: May Weather Discussion.

Better cu field out there this afternoon than at this time yesterday. Even seeing some towering cu off to my south and to my northwest. Latest radar shows a storm trying to get going over Sugar Land with another one developing near Friendswood.

Re: May Weather Discussion.

Radar showing 40-45mph winds just above the ground south of Dickinson and just northeast of Santa Fe so look out for some pretty gusty winds with some of the storms.

Re: May Weather Discussion.

Outflow boundary looks to have cut the inflow to the line and is currently responsible for its weakening.

Re: May Weather Discussion.

The storms entering the northwest side of Harris county look to be developing back to the south quickly. We could see this line move across much of the metro area over the next hour or so.

Re: May Weather Discussion.

Had three rounds of dime to quarter sized hail here in western Harris county. The cloud to ground lightning was insane too.

Re: May Weather Discussion.

Radar indicating 1.25'' hail with the storm in southwest Harris and northeast Ft. Bend county. Would not suprise me to see this storm go severe if it continues to develop. Watch out around the Westbury, Stafford, Meadows, Sugar Land, and Missouri City areas. The storm looks to be relatively stationa...

Re: May Weather Discussion

Could be an interesting afternoon as both the CRP and LCH soundings from this morning indicate a much weaker cap over the region with convective temps in the lower to mid 80s. MCS over central Texas is showing some signs of slowly moving/developing off to the ESE with showers starting to develop acr...

Re: April Weather Discussion. 'Feels Like' 90's Late Week?

What rotation there was on the KGRK and HGX radar's looks to be almost gone...based on what the HGX spotter said, the storms is becoming a bit too elevated to be a real tornado producer.

Re: April Weather Discussion. 'Feels Like' 90's Late Week?

Looks like the met at the warning desk thinks the storm could turn a bit more to the right (southeast) based on the latest severe thunderstorm warning polygon configuration.

Re: April Weather Discussion. 'Feels Like' 90's Late Week?

KGRK radar showing what looks to be a developing hook echo sough of Caldwell with an estimate of 2.21'' hail, close to what KHGX was suggesting....as I type this the storm goes tornado warned, lol. Radar does show some rotation possibly trying to tighten up to the south of Caldwell at this time.

Re: April Weather Discussion. SPC: Slight Risk Late Week!

Update mesoanalysis from the RUC does show that moisture convergence is slowly increasing along the dryline/trough so I think we might see development start to occur as we get closer towards 4pm. Lots of instability out there for storms to tap into once they go up.

Re: April Weather Discussion. SPC: Slight Risk Late Week!

Like as been alluded to above, not much convergence being seen currently along the dry line/trough across central Texas with high res visible sat not showing a lot of towering cu either. With the sky becoming partly cloudy across the region and temps warming into the mid to even upper 80s, the lates...

Re: April Weather Discussion. SPC: Slight Risk Late Week!

Looking at the latest RUC mesoanalysis, CAPE values are already running in the 1000-2000J/kg range along with 0-1km SRH in the 200-350 range; however the area remains strongly capped. Up north across northeast Texas where capping is weaker, thunderstorms have started to develop with the SPC liking g...

Re: April Weather Discussion. SPC: Slight Risk Late Week!

Yep, this looks like a pretty typical late April severe outbreak with our friend the cap keeping the storms around the metro area and places south in check; however, our northern counties could take a beating from two rounds of severe weather. Don't have much time to really look at the models this m...
