...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF
WEST-CENTRAL THROUGH SOUTH TEXAS...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and tonight across
parts of west-central into south Texas.
...TX...
Morning water vapor loops shows a deepening upper trough over NM.
This feature will continue to strengthen and track into TX later
today. The air mass over much of west TX has been modified greatly
compared to yesterday due to widespread convection, with afternoon
dewpoints along/east of the dryline expected to only be in the upper
50s. Nevertheless, increasing large-scale forcing and a weak cap
should lead to thunderstorm development along the dryline and into
the mountains of northern Mexico. Initial storms will be
supercellular with a risk of very large hail and perhaps a tornado
or two. Overnight, storms are expected to organize into a
fast-moving bowing complex that will spread across much of south TX
with a continued risk of damaging winds and large hail.
...MN/WI/Upper MI...
A few intense storms capable of hail and gusty winds have developed
this morning over the upper MS Valley. This threat is expected to
remain relatively localized as it spreads northeastward into upper
MI this afternoon. Please refer to MCD #722 for mesoscale details.
...IA/Northern MO...
A remnant MCV is noted over eastern KS tracking northward. This
system is similar but weaker than the one roughly in the same
position yesterday. Breaks in the clouds over northern MO and IA
may result in sufficient destabilization for a few rotating storms,
where backed low-level winds enhance vertical shear. Isolated gusty
winds or brief tornadoes are possible in this area.
...Western AR/Eastern OK...
Another weak MCV is currently over east TX drifting northward.
While the overall risk of severe storms ahead of this feature seems
low, there is a chance of a few intense cells capable of gusty winds
or brief tornadoes across eastern OK and western AR this afternoon
and evening.
