Already 92°F here with a heat index of 107°F.
DP 78°.
May 2024
With high CAPE and DPs of 78°F, and an outflow snowplowing at 55 mph be prepared for uplift and severe weather. Get prepared.
TBH, this outperformed my expectation of arrival, which I thought would be this evening. As mentioned, this may only be Round 1.
Yes, this is coming through much quicker than I first thought.
A new update from the SPC.

Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1134 AM CDT Tue May 28 2024
Valid 281630Z - 291200Z
...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
SOUTHEAST AND WEST TEXAS...
...SUMMARY...
Severe storms capable of damaging winds and occasional very large
hail (in excess of 2 inches in diameter) can be expected across
southeast Texas and far southwest Louisiana through this afternoon.
Another area of significant severe weather potential will develop
across west Texas this afternoon and evening.
...Southeast TX/Western LA...
A large nocturnal MCS that continues to affect east TX has
dramatically changed the overall forecast of severe storms for later
today. The leading edge of the MCS will affect southeast TX and
southwest LA this afternoon, in a very moist and extremely unstable
environment. Sufficient deep-layer shear will promote supercell and
bowing structures capable of damaging winds and very large hail
until early evening when the primary activity moves offshore.
Yeah, the Mesos are continuing to struggle with this elongated severe season. We had 10 minutes of heavy swirling wind and now sideways rain. I forgot my umbrella. Oopsie, and I need to take my wife to an appointment in 15 min. I hope it abates soon.don wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2024 11:42 am A new update from the SPC.

Looks like most of the action will be north of I-10, yet again
This mess is gonna get near the coast at the hottest part of the day. Might get rough.
lol That was one way to lower the DP. 66°F DP with that outflow and we still have 25-35 mph winds on the backside of the line of showers.
I’ve never seen it this dark during a thunderstorm before.
