Morning e-mail from Jeff:
Widespread severe weather outbreak likely today over the MS valley into east-central TX.
Usually warm air mass has spread very far northward for late January with 600am temperature of 59 degrees at Chicago. In fact the low so far this morning at BUSH IAH has been 72 which is about 10 degrees above our normal daytime high! With such a warm air mass over much of the nation east of the Rockies and a powerful storm system edging into the plains state, severe weather is likely. Locally southerly winds have remained gusty overnight and this continues to help break up or at least mitigate widespread sea fog conditions along the coast even though dewpoints are well above nearshore water temperatures. Have seen a better fetch of “chilled” wind over the extreme SE TX/SW LA coast where sea fog bank has maintained better definition over the past 24 hours. Will continue to deal with the sea fog threat for the next 12 hours or prior to the arrival of a fast moving cold front this evening.
Next item is the severe weather threat and chances for thunderstorms with the cold front this evening. Main dynamics and strongest lift will be focused NE of the region over AR where SPC moderate risk outline is in place. Best moisture is overhead now and will steadily shift eastward during the day well before the lift and slightly cooling arrive aloft. With afternoon surface temperatures likely filtering with 90 or better over NE MX in the slightly higher terrain and increasing SW winds in the mid level transporting this warm nose over the region…the dreaded cap looks to increase through the day. Highs in the upper 70’s will not be enough to break through the warm layer aloft especially given the deck of stratus. However some slight cooling of the mid levels may be possible as the trough axis approaches and combines with strong surface convergence with the cold front. While SPC slight risk takes in about the NE ½ of the region, feel the severe threat will be limited to the Lake Livingston area where capping is weakest and tail end of stronger dynamics aloft reside. Main threat in this area will be damaging winds to 60mph. For the rest of the area a broken band of showers and possibly a thunderstorm will be possible and this is supported by the TEXAS TECH meso model showing a thin line of showers/storms with the front. Think capping will hold strong over the southern and southwestern parts of the area keeping thunder out of the picture.
Front will quickly sweep offshore this evening with temperatures Wednesday morning 25 degrees cooler than today. Little weather is expected for the rest of the week into the weekend with lows in the 40’s and highs in the 60’s to near 70 under mostly sunny skies.

WILL SUPPORT NEW THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON
WITHIN THE UNSTABLE WARM SECTOR. THOUGH CLOUDS ARE LIMITING SURFACE
HEATING...DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S AND REMNANT STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE
RATES WILL DRIVE MLCAPE TO THE 750-1500 J/KG RANGE BY EARLY-MID

Another frontal passage in Austin ... another frontal passage in Austin with no rain as we watch it glide to our north and northeast.
Lake Travis will be only a mud puddle by August.

Looks like the line just exploded along/just east of I-35 as the front passed. Now you know how I have felt most of the last two years.

Yeah Jason ... based on what I'm seeing on radar now and the lightning out my office window to the northeast ... that's exactly what has happened.jasons wrote:Looks like the line just exploded along/just east of I-35 as the front passed. Now you know how I have felt most of the last two years.
Hey, Portastorm... how did you enjoy that 85 degree weather today? Goodness. I was out on campus and just couldn't believe my eyes when I pulled up the temp on my phone and the temp was that high. Unbelievable. I feel you though in the rain department. Was hoping to get some rain, but ...nothing.
At least we'll have some cooler weather tomorrow.

Cap held as expected...not sure why SPC keeps dropping that slgiht risk area so far back SW when the inversion is so strong....maybe for the isolated cell that can break through and go severe. This is not 2012...that is for sure!Ed Mahmoud wrote:That was depressing. About a tenth at local airports.

Though we did not go Severe across most of S.E. Texas, there was a very healthy line of storms, and moderate to heavy rain for some. Porter, Montgomery County, got a very nice period of heavy rainfall last night.
