APRIL 2019: Warm & Muggy WX to End The Month

[MontgomeryCoWx]

Need some good chasing Montgomery. Come hither squall line

[srainhoutx]

Line of thunderstorms to our SW are ramping up and are producing Severe Thunderstorm Warnings and a Tornado Warning. We'll need to watch that line to see if it holds together as it near Victoria.

[srainhoutx]

Tornado Warning for Madison County. Cell will pass very close to Madisonville

[Cpv17]

Madisonville is about to take one on the chin.

[srainhoutx]

Cap appears to be eroding over Western Montgomery County. We had sunshine a good part of the afternoon in NW Harris County, so I'm not sure if the cap is a strong as it was earlier in the day. Stepping out for a while...

[DoctorMu]

Just got out of the tornado warning.

Nasty out there!

A beautiful evening satellite of the storms firing off to the SW through NW of Houston metro. An active evening ahead.

[jasons2k]

More lightning showing up along the line west of Houston, along the I-10 corridor. The line is filling-in now.

Line is thin and not much to it. Nothing behind it either. Big bust for most of Southeast, Texas.

Areas affected...Eastern Texas and far western Louisiana

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 99...

Valid 250035Z - 250200Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 99
continues.

SUMMARY...A line of storms will continue to move east toward
Louisiana this evening. These storms may be capable of producing
isolated severe weather as they move east. A downstream watch is
unlikely.

DISCUSSION...A line of storms has produced occasional severe weather
for the past 2 hours across portions of east central Texas. The
strongest storms have remained near the surface low where updrafts
have been able to remain sustained ahead of the surface front. The
severe threat will likely remain primarily in this area through the
evening. While deeper updraft growth has occasionally posed a threat
for large hail, decreasing buoyancy should lessen this threat with a
primarily damaging wind threat for the rest of the evening. Given
the small area and the isolated threat, a downstream watch is
unlikely.

Wow. Based on those videos, the tornado passed on a path just east of Hwy 6, College Station, then Bryan heading NNE and rapidly. The first has the Bryan Target in the foreground. Probably an F1.

Some local damage to homes, business. Hope no one is hurt. Too soon after 55 homes were damaged with injuries in Franklin


It's still raining here. I bet 3+ inches of rain today...we had 0.45 in before the squall line with the embedded tornado

[Cromagnum]

Looks like Houston on towards the coast may just get some sprinkles. Cap wins again.

[jasons2k]

Yeah, the line is falling apart, but new storms are firing to the south and east. Cap / dry slot. Not surprised.

[djmike]

A whole lot of nothin for setx. Broken record.

[Cpv17]

I spoke too soon. The line of intense storms started falling apart after I typed that and we got about 30 min of light to moderate rain. Probably didn’t even get a quarter inch. Sucks.
