How cold we talking ? Anyone have an idea yet.

All of SE texas is now under a moderate risk of hazardous temperatures on the newly updated CPC map

Sure is a windy spring-like day today!
They are showing mid teens to mid 20's depending on location.

12Z EURO

That 540 thickness line is still pretty far north on the Euro run

Look out Livingston. Tornado Warning

Sun is out somewhat in Gulfgate. Not good.

Didnt think you could have frozen precip ahead of the 540 line like what the euro shows

It would be ice.

At 2:17 a trained spotter reported a tornado on the ground in Coldspring.

The 540 line is only for snow. The snow the EURO shows in SE Texas is probably sleet.

Jason,

The only saving grace is that these discrete storms are moving so fast, damage, I hope is minimal. I am hoping these are just quick spin ups.

Updated warning text indicates spotter-observed tornado history.

Clouds are hauling the mail, but not sure how many more discreet cell potential exists. Not going to take much to get something going.

Agree on the windbag squall line. Gotta watch for embedded spin ups.

I don't like that the sun is trying to come out now. We need to watch the squall line developing to our west closely.

998mb here. 29.48”

Squall line on me and that north wind!!!!! Wow

Those wind gust aint messing around
