Be careful. The updrafts are really stout. This and any of these storms can pulse tornadic.
We just had some pea sized hail. However, the temp IMFY is now 57°F, down from 75° - so we've probably escaped a tornado threat in that cell. These lines have been more robust than expect for certain today.


Careful down there in the warm sector!

I’m literally in this path. The winds here are barely moving though. This is also 5 minutes ago that it was supposed to pass.

Please be safe and weather aware down there! Most of my family's is in SE Texas and Cajun country Louisiana. So I'm always watching the weather down there closely!

The wind picked up for about 5 minutes. I’ve seen worse but saw what just like a lot of clouds to the east. I think this was the actual tornado. If so, passed only a couple miles south of me.

This storm over Galveston Bay is still significant. It is still showing tornadic echoes and I wonder what it will look like after it reaches the other side. Until this front passes by and the warm sector transfers to cool and dry, this will be a headache for the Houston Metro area. Damage reports are coming in from all areas affected ( northern part of Houston, southern part as well as NE)

Edit: I was right...

223 PM CST Sat Dec 28 2024

...A TORNADO WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 300 PM CST FOR
SOUTHEASTERN CHAMBERS COUNTY...

At 222 PM CST, a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado
was located near Smith Point, or 10 miles southeast of Beach City,
moving northeast at 35 mph. This storm has previously produced a
tornado. Another is likely ongoing, but cannot be confirmed due to
no debris over the waters.

HAZARD...Tornado.

SOURCE...Radar indicated rotation.

IMPACT...Flying debris will be dangerous to those caught without
shelter. Mobile homes will be damaged or destroyed. Damage
to roofs, windows, and vehicles will occur. Tree damage is
likely.

This tornadic thunderstorm will remain over mainly rural areas of
southeastern Chambers County, including the following locations...
Oak Island.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

TAKE COVER NOW! Move to a basement or an interior room on the lowest
floor of a sturdy building. Avoid windows. If you are outdoors, in a
mobile home, or in a vehicle, move to the closest substantial shelter
and protect yourself from flying debris.

Heavy rainfall may hide this tornado. Do not wait to see or hear the
tornado. TAKE COVER NOW!

If on or near Galveston bay, get away from the water and move to
safe shelter immediately. If you can hear thunder, you are close
enough to be struck by lightning. Severe thunderstorms can produce
large capsizing waves, even on small bodies of water. Move into dock
and seek safe shelter now! Do not be caught on the water in a
thunderstorm.

I think this one will get me too, Rip. It is looking quite healthy with a hail core. After this, the wind shift should occur.
