Rights now the NWS has a 60% chance of rain Saturday night and a 70% on Sunday, but exact timing and how much rain coverage we get this weekend is still questionable.We'll need to see a few more model runs over the next few days to see if the wet trend continues.

Tomorrow doesn’t look like much per the latest mesoscale models. Probably because it has the storm coming through in the morning and it has the line weakening as it pushes through the area. If it were to come through a few hours earlier or during the evening hours when there’s more instability in the atmosphere then we’d probably be looking at some good rains.

The atmosphere looks more stable today. Massive bust so far, and now on the wrong side of the front in CLL. Potential for a line coming through late this afternoon. The models are faring poorly up until now.

The stuff in the Bay of Campeche is not headed this way. Just a bit too early.

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 164
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
305 PM CDT Tue May 11 2021

The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
Parts of east central and southeast Texas

* Effective this Tuesday afternoon and evening from 305 PM until
900 PM CDT.

* Primary threats include...
Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2
inches in diameter possible
Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
A tornado or two possible

SUMMARY...Isolated supercells along a surface front may persist for another couple of hours, prior to outflow from central Texas
convection overtaking the front and leading to additional storm
development and intensification. An brief tornado or two may occur in the short term, but large hail and damaging winds will be the main threats through the afternoon/evening as storm coverage increases.

The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 55 statute miles east and west of a line from 45 miles north northwest of Lufkin TX to 35 miles southeast of College Station TX. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU4).

Mesoscale Discussion 0595
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0437 PM CDT Tue May 11 2021

Areas affected...East-central Texas and far southwest Louisiana

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 164...

Valid 112137Z - 112300Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 164
continues.

SUMMARY...Severe storms in east-central Texas may move out of watch
164 in the next few hours.

DISCUSSION...The strongest storms within watch 164 are moving into
Trinity county, Texas at 2130Z. The environment downstream of this
ongoing activity remains favorable with 1500 to 2000 J/kg MLCAPE and
effective shear around 35 to 40 knots per SPC mesoanalysis. In
addition, this activity is located near a warm frontal boundary.
Locally backed winds near this boundary are increasing low-level
SRH. The KPOE VWP can be used as a proxy for this low-level shear
profile and it is showing 0-1 SRH in excess of 200 m2/s2 and flow
around 2km has increased to around 45 knots. Therefore, a localized
tornado threat will exist near this warm front over the next few
hours as these storms move across east-central Texas.

In addition, given the favorable downstream environment, this
activity may persist east of watch 164 and a downstream watch may be
needed across portions of southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana.

I don’t really think I’m going to get anything from this event here in Wharton. All good though. Don’t need any rain. By the looks of it, we could all be flooded out by next week:

That’s one heck of rain signal from the CPC directly over southeast TX.
