A risk for severe thunderstorms this afternoon and tonight mainly along and north of US 59.
An upper level storm system over New Mexico and Colorado this morning will move slowly into the plains today with the west TX dryline/Pacific front (currently noted by very low dewpoints in the 10’s and 20’s over W TX) surging eastward into central and SE TX late this afternoon and tonight. Air mass east of the dryline will become extremely unstable by mid afternoon with CAPE values of 2500-3500 J/Kg and LI’s of -6 to -8 with capping weakening due to lifting from the incoming cooling aloft and increasing surface moisture. Expect storms to rapidly develop along the dryline late this morning into the early afternoon as heating and an impulse noted nearing SW TX currently in the base of the upper trough breaches the remaining capping in the mid levels. Storms will develop and go rapidly severe with favorable shear and instability in place across the region east of the dryline. Storms will develop/move ESE late this afternoon into the evening hours and approach/move into our western and northern counties.
Main question across the coastal bend into SE TX is to what degree does the capping inversion aloft erode today and to have this happen…how much heating will we get. A look out the window shows partly cloudy skies with low level stratus racing NW in the low level flow (not a solid deck and a deck that would allow plenty of heating today). Trigger temperatures are in the mid 80’s across this region, and these values appear to be achievable. Water vapor does show a pocket of dry air aloft behind the departing mid level circulation that crossed the area yesterday, but this is moving off to the ENE this morning with deeper moisture aimed to move into our western counties later this morning. With all this said, meso scale and convection allowing models are not showing much in the way of activity developing over SE TX and keep most of the activity that develops over central TX along and north of I-10 this evening before weakening. These models have performed poorly of late with MCS activity and their related cold pools helping to drive convection most robust and further east than the models suggested would happen.
Feel the best threat for strong to severe thunderstorms today will be along and NW of a line from Columbus to Conroe to Livingston where capping will be weakest and approaching storms from central TX have the best shot at reaching before weakening. With that said, if activity becomes well organized over central TX, the threat will need to be expanded across much of the region. Strong instability coupled with good shear will support vigorous updrafts with large hail being the main severe threats…a few extreme hail reports will be possible. Damaging winds to 60mph will also be possible with tornadoes the lower end threat today…but not non-existent.
Current thinking is that some sort of activity may linger overnight into early Wednesday as the weak cool front stalls near the coast acting as a trigger for showers/thunderstorms. The upper trough will move into the plains and this will allow a drier and more stable air mass to gradually spread into the region ending rain chances by midday. Nice…but warm weather will be on tap Thursday-Friday as ridging at the surface and aloft allows temperatures to warm into the mid to upper 80’s over lows in the 60’s. Moisture begins to increase over the holiday weekend and rain chances may return at some point as convection fires off in the late afternoon over W/SW TX/NE MX and translates eastward into portions of SC and S TX.
Severe Weather Outlook (Today):

FARTHER NE...SATELLITE AND VWP DATA SUGGEST THAT DISTURBANCE IN PART
RESPONSIBLE FOR LARGE MCS OVER E TX...AR...AND LA YESTERDAY NOW
EXTENDS IN AN ARC FROM SW MO THROUGH NE AR TO CSTL MS. THIS FEATURE
SHOULD CONTINUE ENE THROUGH THE DAY...REACHING A CNTRL IL...MIDDLE
TN...FL PANHANDLE LINE BY EVE.
AT LWR LVLS...QSTNRY SFC LOW THAT HAD BEEN PRESENT OVER THE TX
PANHANDLE HAS PARTLY FILLED AS A RESULT OF /1/ SWD MOVEMENT OF POLAR
AIR FROM KS-NEB...AND /2/ WIDESPREAD OUTFLOW FROM CONVECTION OVER
THE SRN PLNS-LWR MS VLY. AN ELONGATED LOW LVL CIRCULATION
WILL...NEVERTHELESS...LIKELY PERSIST TODAY OVER NW TX...NEAR
INTERSECTION OF THE POLAR COLD FRONT WITH MERGED DRY LINE-PACIFIC

FARTHER NE...RESIDUAL TRIPLE POINT LOW NOW IN SE IA SHOULD EDGE ESE
INTO IL-IND LATER TODAY AS THE APPROACH OF A SHORTWAVE IMPULSE IN
THE NRN STREAM /OVER THE UPR GRT LKS/ ENHANCES WSWLY LOW LVL FLOW
OVER THE OH VLY. THIS WILL ALLOW EXISTING STNRY FRONT EXTENDING E
FROM THE LOW TO ADVANCE ENEWD AS WARM FRONT INTO PARTS OF
IND...OH...AND KY.
THE VORT LOBE AND ASSOCIATED FRONT/DRYLINE OVER THE SRN PLNS...AND
THE LOW/WARM FRONT OVER THE OH VLY...WILL BE THE MAIN FOCI FOR
STRONG TO SVR TSTMS TODAY INTO TNGT.
...SRN PLNS INTO LWR MS VLY TODAY THROUGH TNGT...
SCTD TO NUMEROUS TSTMS AND STORM CLUSTERS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE
PERIOD OVER ERN PORTIONS OF THE SRN PLNS AND ADJACENT PARTS OF THE
WRN OZARKS/LWR MS VLY AS VORT LOBE ROTATING NNE AROUND ERN SIDE OF
NM UPR LOW...AND SUBSEQUENT WEAKER DISTURBANCES...ENHANCE ASCENT
ACROSS REGION.
GIVEN THAT OVERNIGHT MCSS HAVE SOMEWHAT STABILIZED REGION N OF THE
RED RIVER...THE STRONGEST DIURNALLY DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED
OVER CNTRL AND N TX. COMBINATION OF INCREASING ASCENT IN
MODERATELY-SHEARED...RICHLY MOIST LOW LVL ENVIRONMENT BENEATH
DEEP/PERSISTENT EML SHOULD YIELD STORMS CAPABLE OF VERY LARGE HAIL
AND LOCALLY DMGG WIND. WIND PROFILES WILL REMAIN DIFFICULT TO
GENERALIZE OVER SPACE AND TIME...AND EXPECTED FAIRLY WIDESPREAD
COVERAGE LIMITS PREDICTABILITY OF PREDOMINANT CONVECTIVE MODE/STORM
TYPE. BUT SETUP APPEARS AT LEAST CONDITIONALLY SUPPORTIVE OF A FEW
SUPERCELLS ALSO CAPABLE OF TORNADOES GIVEN QUALITY OF MOISTURE
INFLOW/DEGREE OF BUOYANCY. THE STORMS LIKELY WILL MERGE INTO ONE OR
MORE MCSS THIS EVENING. ONE OF THESE COULD BECOME RATHER LARGE AND
MOVE/DEVELOP E/SE TOWARD THE HOUSTON/BEAUMONT AREA TOWARD WED
MORNING...WITH A CONTINUING RISK FOR SVR WEATHER. A MORE
LIMITED...THOUGH NON-ZERO...RISK FOR SVR STORMS WILL EXIST IN MUCH
OF OK THROUGH EARLY TNGT...WHERE LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT WILL
BE GREATER...BUT SFC-BASED INSTABILITY MORE LIMITED THAN IN TX.
...MID MS/LWR OH VLYS...
STRONG SFC HEATING WILL OCCUR TODAY IN WEAKLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT
ALONG AND S OF WARM/STNRY FRONT IN THE MID MS/LWR OH VLYS. AREA
SOUNDINGS SHOW PRESENCE OF A DEEP EML ATOP A RELATIVELY MODEST MOIST
SFC LAYER. COMBINATION OF HEATING WITH WEAK LOW LVL CONFLUENCE AND
ASCENT AHEAD OF MID/UPR LVL VORT LOBE SHOULD SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF
CLUSTERS/SHORT BANDS OF WEAKLY ORGANIZED AFTN/EVE STORMS. THESE MAY
YIELD SVR HAIL AND LOCALLY DMGG WIND AS THE WARM SECTOR EXPANDS
FARTHER E INTO IND AND WRN OH. THE STORMS LIKELY WILL MERGE INTO A
FAIRLY EXTENSIVE...S TO SE-MOVING MCS OVER PARTS OF IL/IND/KY LATER
TNGT. THIS SYSTEM MAY FEATURE BOTH FORWARD-PROPAGATING
SEGMENTS/SMALL BOWS...AND BACK-BUILDING/WWD-DEVELOPING
ACTIVITY...WITH A DIMINISHING THREAT FOR LOCALLY SVR WIND AND HAIL.
...WRN/CNTRL KS LATER TODAY INTO TNGT...
ELEVATED TSTMS WILL BE POSSIBLE LATER TODAY/TNGT IN WRN/CNTRL KS AS
LEADING EDGE OF DCVA/ASCENT IMMEDIATELY AHEAD OF NM UPR LOW/ VORT
LOBE APPROACHES REGION. STEEP MID LVL LAPSE RATES COULD YIELD
MARGINALLY SVR HAIL.
...SERN U.S. THIS AFTN...
A LOW PROBABILISTIC RISK FOR SVR HAIL/LOCALLY DMGG WIND WILL EXIST
OVER A LARGE PART OF THE SERN U.S...WHERE RELATIVELY STEEP MID LVL
LAPSE RATES WILL RESIDE ATOP A FAIRLY MOIST/WEAKLY CONFLUENT
BOUNDARY LAYER. THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF SUCH ACTIVITY MAY
OCCUR OVER N FL AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF GA...WHERE ASCENT WILL BE
ENHANCED BY APPARENT MCV/WEAK VORT MAX ON SRN END OF AFOREMENTIONED
UPR IMPULSE. ALTHOUGH THIS REGION IS SOMEWHAT DRIER THAN AREA
AFFECTED BY SIMILAR WIND PROFILES/LARGE SCALE ASCENT YESTERDAY OVER
LA...AR...AND MS...STRONG SFC HEATING/STEEPENING LOW LVL LAPSE RATES
MAY COMPENSATE FOR ENHANCED ENTRAINMENT TO YIELD STRONG SFC WIND

THE SRN PLAINS INTO LOWER MS VALLEY...
...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT
ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE OH VALLEY...
...SYNOPSIS...
MID AND UPPER-LEVEL LOW OVER ERN NM WILL PROGRESS SLOWLY EWD THIS
PERIOD IN RESPONSE TO ONSHORE DEVELOPMENT OF AN UPSTREAM TROUGH INTO
THE PACIFIC NW. MORNING WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A VORTICITY
MAXIMUM PIVOTING AROUND THE UPPER LOW ACROSS WRN TX WITH THIS
FEATURE LIFTING NEWD ACROSS PORTIONS OF OK/KS TODAY INTO TONIGHT.

ACROSS IND TODAY IN CONJUNCTION WITH NRN EXTENSION OF ELONGATED
VORTICITY MAXIMUM MENTIONED ABOVE. THIS LOW WILL BE TRAILED BY A
COLD FRONT WHICH WILL SETTLE SWD THROUGH THE MID MS VALLEY/OZARKS.
THE WRN EXTENSION OF THIS BOUNDARY ACROSS SRN KS WILL REMAIN MORE
QUASI-STATIONARY IN RESPONSE TO A WEAK SURFACE LOW DEVELOPING FROM

FOR ASCENT ATTENDANT TO VORTICITY MAXIMUM PIVOTING AROUND NM UPPER
LOW. 12Z FWD SOUNDING SHOWED A MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER BENEATH STEEP
MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES YIELDING MUCAPE OF 2000-2500 J/KG. GIVEN THE
PRESENCE OF 40-50+ KT OF EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR...EMBEDDED SUPERCELL
STRUCTURES WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH AN ASSOCIATED RISK FOR LARGE HAIL.
BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS ACROSS NRN/CNTRL TX SHOULD ALLOW FOR SUFFICIENT
BOUNDARY LAYER HEATING SUCH THAT ONGOING STORMS WILL BECOME
PROGRESSIVELY SURFACE-BASED BY AFTERNOON...WITH ADDITIONAL STORMS
POSSIBLE ALONG AND AHEAD OF TRAILING PACIFIC FRONT. THE COMBINATION
OF A MOIST AND MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIR MASS /I.E. AFTERNOON MLCAPE
OF 1000-2500 J PER KG/ AND 40-60 KT OF DEEP-LAYER SHEAR ORIENTED
LARGELY ORTHOGONAL TO THE PACIFIC FRONT WILL SUPPORT SUPERCELLS
CAPABLE OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. A FEW TORNADOES ARE
ALSO POSSIBLE /ESPECIALLY ACROSS PARTS OF N-CNTRL AND NERN TX/ GIVEN
MODESTLY STRONG LOW-LEVEL FLOW AND PRE-EXISTING OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES
WHICH WILL LOCALLY ENHANCE LOW-LEVEL SHEAR.
ELSEWHERE...STORMS WILL LIKELY INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY
TODAY ALONG OUTFLOW BOUNDARY/GRAVITY WAVE SURGING EWD/SEWD INTO
W-CNTRL MS...CNTRL/SRN LA AND SERN TX. WHILE VERTICAL SHEAR WILL
REMAIN WEAKER THAN POINTS TO THE W...THE PRESENCE OF A

VIGOROUS UPDRAFTS CAPABLE OF DAMAGING WINDS AND PERHAPS SOME HAIL.
...OH VALLEY...
12Z ILX SOUNDING SHOWED STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES WHICH WILL
COMBINE WITH DAYTIME HEATING AND BOUNDARY LAYER DEWPOINTS INCREASING
THROUGH THE 50S TO AROUND 60 F TO YIELD AFTERNOON MLCAPE OF
1000-1500 J/KG. INCREASED FORCING FOR ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH
VORTICITY MAXIMUM LIFTING NEWD THROUGH THE MID MS VALLEY...COUPLED
WITH LOW-LEVEL UPLIFT ALONG SURFACE FRONT ARE EXPECTED TO FOSTER
SCATTERED TSTMS LATER THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS PORTIONS OF IL/IN.
VERTICAL SHEAR WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY WEAK...BUT THE PRESENCE OF
STEEP LOW TO MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL PROMOTE VIGOROUS UPDRAFTS
CAPABLE OF DAMAGING WINDS AND SEVERE HAIL. STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO
GROW UPSCALE INTO AN MCS WITH AN ASSOCIATED WIND/HAIL THREAT
SPREADING SEWD INTO PARTS OF KY TONIGHT.
...SERN U.S...
REMNANT MCV OVER THE FL PNHDL...HEATING ALONG THE HIGH TERRAIN OF
THE CNTRL/SRN APPALACHIANS...AND WARM FRONT SLOWLY LIFTING NWD
THROUGH THE PIEDMONT AND COASTAL PLAINS WILL ALL SERVE AS FOCI FOR
STRONG-MARGINALLY SEVERE TSTM DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON INTO
