...TORNADO WATCH 45 IS IN EFFECT THROUGH 6 AM CST SATURDAY FOR
THE COUNTIES OF BRAZOS...BURLESON...GRIMES...HOUSTON...MADISON
...POLK...SAN JACINTO...TRINITY...WALKER.

.UPDATE...
Monitoring the southern flank of a line of convection that is
passing across the I-35 corridor this hour...movement is east at
30 knots. Linear interpolation has this line entering our CWA
during the 11 PM hour. While the main threats within the strongest
storm cells will still be wind and hail...there is a slight enough
risk (especially over our northeastern counties) to go ahead with
a northern tier Tornado Watch through 6 AM. The bulk of the
activity/precipitation will come across the forecast area from
around midnight through 5 or 6 AM...exiting the coast sometime
around sunrise (or just before). Post-frontal Saturday will have
slowly clearing skies with the day warming into the average middle
to upper 60s. Afternoon northerly winds will strengthen to
between 15 to 25 knots...especially across the western half of the
CWA and coastal counties. Far interior dew points falling into
the lower to middle 30s will have %RHs falling into the 30s during
the afternoon in-line with the strongest winds. Thus...prepare
for slightly elevated fire weather conditions tomorrow afternoon.
