Merry Christmas. The wind has been Crazy here in Porter. It looks like the rain and hail must have passed just to our north. I'm sure Cleveland IS getting beat around because the clouds to our north looked scary. The wind at our house was so strong that everyone in the neighborhood was standing out on their porches trying to figugure out what was going on and we weren't even in the rain band. Is there any chance of further redevelopment or is this pretty much it? With the watch lasting till 4 I was just wondering. As always, thanks guys. When things get crazy, I always check with y'all.

Was really dark here just now, it cleared up within seconds. So weird.

Sadly a fatality has been reported near N Eldridge Pkwy by falling trees.

[Belmer]

Mainly eastern TX that will have to watch this line of storms now. Severe weather threat for the Houston area is about done....thank goodness.
Here in Pasadena, skies were real dark as the line moved through. Seems like it was only seconds and the sky cleared up and 3/4 of it is now blue. Now just have to wait for the cooler weather.

Hope this thing can calm down as it moves East (that's being hopeful). Really hope folks to our East have paid attention to weather reports today.

[srainhoutx]

Moderate Risk extended E to the Carolinas for tomorrow. SPC considering a High Risk for Louisiana/Mississippi/Alabama a bit later. Also snow reported now in N Texas in Bowie.

[Katdaddy]

The weather station at the house record a W gust of 38 MPH in League City.

[unome]

that's one mean looking line of storms as it exits TX for LA & it's leaving many without power in it's wake

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 2210
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1219 PM CST TUE DEC 25 2012

AREAS AFFECTED...E/SE TX...CENTRAL/SRN LA AND CENTRAL/SRN MS

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 692...694...

VALID 251819Z - 251930Z

CORRECTED FOR STATES LISTED IN AREAS AFFECTED SECTION OF TEXT
PRODUCT AND WEB GRAPHIC.

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 692...694...CONTINUES.

SUMMARY...TORNADO THREAT WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE ACROSS SE TX INTO
SWRN AND CENTRAL LA ACROSS WW 694...WITH A TORNADO POTENTIAL ALSO
INTO THE FAR SRN EXTENT OF SVR WW 693.

A NEW TORNADO WATCH WILL BE NEEDED TO REPLACE CURRENT WW 692 PRIOR
TO 19Z...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR THIS NEW WW TO BE A PDS GIVEN A
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN EFFECTIVE SRH THIS AFTERNOON AS THE LLJ
STRENGTHENS ACROSS THE LOWER MS VALLEY.

DISCUSSION...LATE THIS MORNING...THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN CG
LIGHTNING STRIKES ACROSS SE THROUGH EAST CENTRAL TX TO NWRN LA INVOF
A SURFACE LOW NOW LOCATED IN FAR EAST CENTRAL TX /NEAR JASPER TX/.
THIS LIGHTNING AND SIMILAR INCREASE IN REFLECTIVITIES EXTENDED SSWWD
ALONG A DRY LINE/PACIFIC FRONT THROUGH SE TX/UPPER TX COAST /TO THE
N-SW OF THE HOUSTON METRO AREA/. TSTMS /MAINLY ELEVATED/ ALSO
EXTENDED NEWD OF THE SURFACE LOW INTO NWRN LA. THIS INCREASE IN TSTM
DEVELOPMENT IS LIKELY INDICATIVE OF THE ARRIVAL OF STRONG FORCING
FOR ASCENT WITHIN THE EXIT REGION OF A 90-100 KT MIDLEVEL JET
ACCOMPANYING THE POWERFUL SRN PLAINS SHORTWAVE TROUGH. SUBSEQUENT
AND EXPECTED STRENGTHENING OF A SSWLY LLJ WAS EVIDENT OVER
SWRN-CENTRAL LA PER 17Z LCH WSR-88D VAD SHOWING 60 KT AT 1 KM AGL.
THE STRONG VERTICALLY VEERING WINDS HAVE GREATLY ENHANCED THE
EFFECTIVE SRH VALUES UP TO 400-600 M2/S2 TO SUPPORT AN INCREASED
TORNADO THREAT...EXPECTED TO SPREAD EWD THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE SRN
PART OF THE LOWER MS VALLEY...WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR.

LATE MORNING SURFACE ANALYSES SHOWED THE LOW HAS CONTINUED TO DEEPEN
AND AT 17Z WAS LOCATED INVOF JASPER TX. A WARM FRONT HAS MOVED
STEADILY NWD AND EXTENDED EWD THROUGH CENTRAL LA...SRN MS /N OF
KMCB/...TO THE N OF KMOB AND INTO THE WRN FL PANHANDLE. GIVEN THE
LOCATION OF THE WARM FRONT...THE SRN EXTENT OF SVR WATCH 693 WILL
ALSO HAVE A TORNADO POTENTIAL AS STORMS WILL BE SFC-BASED OR NEAR
SFC-BASED.

MEANWHILE...THE WARM FRONT HAS MOVED N OF WW 692...THOUGH THE WARM
SECTOR ACROSS THIS WW HAS ONLY SLOWLY DESTABILIZED THUS FAR DUE TO
THE MIXING RELATED DECREASE IN THE DEWPOINTS. 18Z SLIDELL SPECIAL
SOUNDING INDICATED AN INVERSION LOCATED BETWEEN 700-800 MB AND THIS
SHOULD CONTINUE TO INHIBIT DEEPER CU DEVELOPMENT UNTIL THE ARRIVAL
OF GREATER ASCENT WITH THE EXIT REGION OF THE IMMEDIATELY UPSTREAM
MIDLEVEL JET. SOME VEERING OF LOW LEVEL WINDS ACROSS SWRN LA SHOULD
ADVECT RICHER MOISTURE INTO SERN LA/SRN MS SUPPORTING STRONGER
DESTABILIZATION TO SUPPORT AN ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR
SUSTAINED...DEEP UPDRAFTS.

Well, I got .10". That's a tenth of a inch. Not quite the 2.8" I was bulls-eyed for from the HPC back on page 40.
