Some small cells are trying to form off the inflow to that tornadic supercell near Franklin. Better be careful what I wish for!

There may be some strong thunderstorms late tonight for areas along and east of I-45.As the storm clusters to the north eventually form into a MCS and moves southeast with the frontal boundary. It's MCS season in the southern plains...😉

It’s too windy and too overcast for anything to really get going. This isn’t the kind of conditions you need for a severe weather outbreak.

The cell is deepening and potentially over us per NWS weather. Forming a hail core?? We'll see.

Those small cells in Grimes Co mean business. Can see some shear up in the clouds now. Keep an eye out. There could be a severe store forming eventually in Harris Co.

So much for that "wet spring" and "wet April". What a joke.

Are y'all looking at mesoscale models?🤷‍♂️ The storms to the Northeast are the same storms that will congeal into a MCS and move southeast with the front late tonight/overnight.This MCS looks to effect areas along and east of I-45 all the way to the coast.I'm not concerned about severe weather in metro Houston, but looking forward to some heavy rain even if only brief.
