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.

Pretty good looking storm headed right towards me. We’ll see what happens.

This looks pretty week, I don’t see us getting 2 inches

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

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

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

A whole lot of nothin for setx. Broken record.

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.

All these storms roll into caps and we get nothing every time. Gonna be awesome when nothing is coming at all in the coming months...

Clearing skies this morning across SE TX. The cold front has moved off the coast pushing the thunderstorms into LA. Thankfully the line of thunderstorms was a non-event for the Houston-Galveston areas and now onward to beautiful weather through the weekend.

I got nothing. Was hoping for some rain. Looks like sprinklers may have to run this weekend.

I sent Jeff’s email out to my team yesterday. They will probably give me a hard time today like “thanks for scaring us for nothing!”

Things don’t look very good for any rain across our area of the state for the next couple weeks. Models show around 1” or less.

We received 0.08" overnight. Seems we got just enough rain to keep the fireflies grounded.

We heard a couple of rumbles, but nothing really scary.

Maybe I can at least get this patio finished up and closed in before the rains bring the mosquito plague upon us. It can rain all it wants in May

.DISCUSSION...
Showers/thunderstorms are exiting to the E/SE this morning as the
cold front moves into the coastal waters. With skies clearing and
drier air filtering down into the region, temperatures should re-
bound nicely by this afternoon. Highs to range from the lower 80s
to the upper 70s. Favorable radiational cooling conditions should
be in place tonight with lows ranging from the upper 50s to lower
60s inland...upper 60s along the coast. With the offshore flow in
place (albeit much lighter) we should see very similar conditions
for Fri.

With the flattening upper ridge and surface high pressure sliding
off to the east, onshore winds are set to return Sat. Fairly warm
temps are progged for the weekend as low-level moisture begins to
slowly creep back up. Our next best rain chances are still on tap
starting around next Tues. Models remain in decent agreement with
the development/eastward track of the next upper trof near the CA
Baja late Mon. The deepening SW winds aloft in response will help
to drag shortwave energy across the area by Tues. Extended models
are indicating that this next system will likely lift more N than
NE with time, and this could stall the next cold front well north
of the CWA. As such the warm/humid pattern may be sticking around
in the extended. 41

.MARINE...
Weak Pacific high near San Angelo this morning will slowly drift
east leading to more more widespread west and northwest winds across
the coastal waters. In the short term though will have showers and
thunderstorms along and ahead of the cold front moving east out of
the area. SCEC in effect through 8 am for the 20-60nm waters for the
sea should be dropping off as seas diminish to closer to 4 feet from
the 5-6 feet early this morning. Second cold front Friday morning
brings in more northerly winds before relaxing Friday night into
Saturday. Onshore flow resumes and will be very persistent through
Thursday and possibly even next Saturday. Gradient does start to
tighten up Monday night and should see steady increase in seas as a
series of bursts of east and southeasterly winds arrive from the
south-central Gulf.

.AVIATION...
Dry air intruding into the region but will have lower ceilings
IFR/MVFR to the south where the more moist air hasn`t been scoured
out yet. Showers through 11z near GLS. Expect improving flight
conditions at CXO/IAH/HOU/SGR/LBX/GLS in the next 2 to 3 hours as
the weak cold front pushes out into the Gulf becoming VFR. NW winds
relaxing tonight.
