Stepping out for a few hours. Thursday afternoon briefing from Jeff:

Flash Flood Watch issued N of I-10.

Convective complex has developed over SE TX NW of a line from Columbus to N of Huntsville. Supercell within this complex produce a damaging tornado around 100pm over College Station and Bryan with significant damage reported in the Wheeler Ridge subdivision of Bryan. Since then additional storms have formed to the SW of the initial supercell on likely a 850mb convergent boundary and northern extent of stronger capping over SC TX. Cell are training WSW to ENE over the same areas with rainfall totals now approaching 5-6 inches over Brazos, Madison, and northern Grimes Counties. Additional development on the SW flank of this complex will train over the same areas producing an additional 2-4 inches of rainfall on top of what has fallen. Storm totals by 4-5 pm could near 8-10 inches in isolated areas.

Have little confidence in any model solution and just going off of meso scale trends. Would expect this complex to eventually produce a low level boundary on its southern flank, but strong inflow of 30kts of extremely moist air mass will likely fight the southern progress of any boundary. Additionally capping is holding S of I-10 and hopefully will continue to hold.

This is a favorable flash flood setup over SE TX and for the next 3-6 hours think those counties NW of a line from Columbus to Huntsville will be under the gun for excessive rainfall and flash flooding.

Severe threat remains with leading supercell which has had a history of producing tornadoes and wind damage. College Station tornado looked impressive both on radar and ground truth pictures posted to twitter. Damage was extensive to some homes…but mostly mainly roof and tree damage…at least that has been reported thus far. Will need to watch for additional severe threat along the leading edge of the complex of storms and would not be surprised to see additional small tornadoes with favorable low level shear and instability in place. Think this is mainly an isolated tornado threat or damaging wind threat at this point. Sever threat looks to be transitioning toward a flash flood event.
