Tornado Watch being considered for the Brazos Valley and Northern areas of SE Texas in an little while...

0332 PM CDT Wed Apr 24 2019

Areas affected...portions of central and east Texas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

Valid 242032Z - 242130Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

SUMMARY...Ongoing MCS over central Texas will eventually enter an
environment favorable for surface-based storms, with all severe
modes possible. A WW is being considered for areas downstream.

DISCUSSION...An ongoing strong to severe MCS continues from near AUS
to near SAT currently. These storms likely remain slightly elevated
atop a cool surface later left behind from early morning convection.
Recent observations suggest that the eastern edge of this cool
layer was eroding due to advection and surface warming, with upper
60s to low 70s F dewpoints now located roughly 50-75 miles
downstream of the ongoing MCS. As these storms migrate eastward,
they will gradually become surface-based, with the ongoing threat
shifting toward damaging winds and perhaps a couple tornadoes. As
such, a Tornado Watch is being considered for areas downstream.

Meso models continue to be less than impressive with this system once it arrives in our area. Sadly I think the cap wins again.

The College Station area and points north have sure been a battle ground these last few events.

0523 PM CDT Wed Apr 24 2019

Areas affected...middle TX coast

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

Valid 242223Z - 242330Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...A few severe thunderstorms capable of large hail/severe
gusts are possible this evening.

DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery indicates intensifying
updrafts (via glaciation) on the southern portion of the composite
front/outflow draped southwest-northeast across south TX. Visible
imagery shows a bubbling cumulus field along the boundary. As mid-
to upper-level forcing for ascent encroaches on the region as the
shortwave trough moves east this evening, additional storm
development is forecast to occur south of the McMullen/Live Oak
county storm. Isolated large hail and severe gusts are the primary
hazards with the stronger storms this evening.

Line of thunderstorms to our SW are ramping up and are producing Severe Thunderstorm Warnings and a Tornado Warning. We'll need to watch that line to see if it holds together as it near Victoria.

Cap appears to be eroding over Western Montgomery County. We had sunshine a good part of the afternoon in NW Harris County, so I'm not sure if the cap is a strong as it was earlier in the day. Stepping out for a while... ;)
