Mesoscale Discussion 0405
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1239 PM CDT Sun Apr 19 2020

Areas affected...upper coast of TX...southwest LA

Concerning...Tornado Watch 120...

Valid 191739Z - 191845Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 120 continues.

SUMMARY...Convective trends towards a supercellular convective mode
are increasing as 700mb flow intensifies this afternoon. Large to
very large hail is possible with the mature supercells. A tornado
risk will probably accompany the stronger/more persistent low-level
mesocyclones.

DISCUSSION...Radar imagery trends over the past hour are showing
warm sector development of storms acquiring some intermittent
rotation north of the greater Houston area. A robust supercell has
also recently developed to the north of Matagorda Bay moving towards
the south side of the Houston metro during the next few hours. The
boundary layer across the upper coast of TX continues to destabilize
as temperatures warm through the 70s and into the lower 80s near
Galveston Bay.

As storms continue to gradually intensify during the early
afternoon, coincident with the aforementioned strengthening flow in
the low to mid levels, the risk for a tornado and large to very
large hail will correspondingly increase with the strongest storms.
Short-term model guidance is suggesting at least some severe
activity will move across the Galveston Bay vicinity and into
southwest LA and the near-shore waters during the next 2-4 hours.

The rain is over for your area. Wednesday will be the next chance. Doesn’t look like much of a chance though. Wednesday’s system appears to be mainly north of our region.

[djmike]

And once again, the one hopeful looking cell looks to be breaking down and falling apart before it gets to Beaumont. I give up. Im done. I cant win. Gonna be one helleva water bill next month.

What a bummer.... we have a lake house near Many, LA. At least there has been a lot up there to fill up Toledo Bend after the damn construction all winter.

Guess I’ll be pulling out the sprinklers in the morning!

[Cromagnum]

Got 15 bags of peat moss spread over the front yard just in time for a quick 0.5 inch of rain. Hopefully I can reverse this stress and get the damned take all root rot to start burning in hell. I'm not about to lose my entire front yard again after this crap killed it 3 years ago.

Pretty much a bust up here in College Station. Better than a tornado, though.

Can still keep sprinklers off for now. Fingers crossed for we northern counties on Wednesday for some rain. GFS and Canadian are still looking like mostly N of I-10 and east of I-45. A possible maybe from the Euro.

[DoctorMu]

Dry air filtering in. If feels like a Spring evening back in NC. Slight breeze, low dew point. Bottle it up!
