The overnight models are in some what agreement that a ‘cool front’ will drop S into Texas on Thursday. The shorter term meso models are suggesting storms will develop across Central Texas as that boundary sags S into SE Texas. The Storm Prediction Center indicates a possibility that a Slight Risk will need to be expanded E into the Eastern Half of Texas. The focus of showers and storms will be along that frontal boundary and the best chance for storms appears to be N of I-10 tomorrow evening. As those storms wane on Friday, any left over boundaries and cold pooling may bring the better chances of showers/storms S of I-10 on Friday. The boundary should pull up stationary somewhere near the Coast late Friday. There are indications that the front will return N as a warm front bringing a return flow off the Gulf during the weekend. Isolated sea breeze showers and storms may be possible again on Sunday into early next week. 91L has a very brief chance to be classified as a tropical or sub tropical system as in moves NE toward Apalachicola on Friday. Wind shear and dry air should limited any real development as that rain maker for Florida and the SE US moves into the Atlantic this weekend.

...TROPICAL FUNNEL CLOUDS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON...

AT 1255 PM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RECEIVED A REPORT OF A
FUNNEL CLOUD WHICH EVENTUALLY TOUCHED DOWN AS A WATERSPOUT JUST
OFF THE COAST OF GRAND CHENIER IN CAMERON PARISH.

A VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE TROPICAL AIRMASS IS IN PLACE ACROSS THE
AREA. MEANWHILE...THE VERTICAL WIND PROFILE OVER THE AREA IS LIGHT
AND VARIABLE. THESE CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT
OF TROPICAL FUNNEL CLOUDS...ESPECIALLY WHERE RAIN COOLED
BOUNDARIES...KNOWN AS OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES...AND THE SEABREEZE
COLLIDE.

THESE TROPICAL FUNNEL CLOUDS ARE USUALLY SHORT-LIVED AND DO NOT
REACH THE GROUND. IF THE FUNNEL CLOUD BECOMES MORE SEVERE AND
REACHES THE GROUND...MINOR DAMAGE MAY OCCUR...AND A TORNADO
WARNING WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED.

What are the prospects for severe weather? Will we see any rotating cells? (I might want to go storm chasing, is why I'm asking.)

TS Andrea now up to 60MPH and approaching the Florida Coast N of Tampa. Tornado Watch for S FLA until 11AM. Back home in SE TX a weak front and associated outflow boundary will slowly push into the area triggering strong to severe storms. Very heavy rainfall will also be possible with some isolated amounts of 2-4". A stormy afternoon and evening commute likely.

Morning e-mail from Jeff:

Strong to severe thunderstorms with very heavy rainfall possible this afternoon.

Complex of thunderstorms moving across N TX currently will send an outflow boundary southward into the area this morning. An already unstable air mass will become extremely unstable by early afternoon under surface heating with CAPE values increasing into the 3500-4500 J/kg range. While shear values are unimpressive the extreme amounts of instability over the region will support a large hail and wind damage threat. Expect the outflow boundary/weak front to reach our northern counties this morning and slowly move southward through the peak heating this afternoon.

At the same time inland moving seabreeze and baybreeze boundaries will move north and west from the coast also yielding the potential for storms to form ahead of the frontal boundary. High resolution models are not overly aggressive with rain chances this afternoon and evening, but atmospheric parameters suggest strong to severe storms are possible. Collision of the seabreeze boundary and incoming front/outflow may yield a short period excessive rainfall threat somewhere between I-10 and the coast this evening as the collision of the boundaries would result in slowing storms motions in an extremely moist air mass (PWS nearing 1.7 inches). Could easily see short term rainfall amounts of 2-3 inches in an hour from the stronger storms and this would be possible over the Houston metro area toward the afternoon rush hour.

Frontal boundary will stall near the coast/offshore Friday, but NW flow aloft will continue to drive shortwave into the region from the NW where large thunderstorm complexes may form over E NM and the TX panhandle each evening and track toward our region toward the following morning. Timing of such said disturbances is difficult, but the past few days has shown several complexes reaching into what would be our area about 10-12 hours after forming in the lee of the Rockies.

Upper ridge builds over the area by the middle of next week with very warm conditions expected. Could easily see mid to upper 90’s for the end of next week.

The Storm Prediction Center issues Slight Risk for portions of E Central and SE Texas later today:

DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0720 AM CDT THU JUN 06 2013

VALID 061300Z - 071200Z

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS TODAY ACROSS THE FL
PENINSULA...

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS TODAY ACROSS E CENTRAL AND SE
TX...

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING FOR
FAR SW TX AND SE NM...

...FL TODAY...
THE CORE OF TROPICAL STORM ANDREA WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NNEWD FROM
THE NE GULF OF MEXICO TODAY TO THE SE ATLANTIC COAST BY FRIDAY
MORNING /REFER TO LATEST NHC ADVISORIES FOR DETAILS/. TO THE RIGHT
OF THE CYCLONE TRACK...A MOIST ENVIRONMENT WITH BOUNDARY LAYER
DEWPOINTS IN THE MID-UPPER 70S...AS WELL AS A FEW CLOUD
BREAKS...WILL CONTRIBUTE TO WEAK-MODERATE BUOYANCY ACROSS THE FL
PENINSULA TODAY. THE TROPICAL CYCLONE HAS DEVELOPED TWO DISTINCT
CONVECTIVE BANDS...ONE OFF THE W COAST OF FL CLOSER TO THE CYCLONE
CORE...AND ANOTHER BROKEN BAND OF STORMS THAT IS SPREADING EWD NEAR
THE ATLANTIC COAST. IT APPEARS THAT THE STRONGER LOW-LEVEL SHEAR
AND MORE FAVORABLE HODOGRAPH STRUCTURES WILL BE CONFINED TO THE ERN
BAND APPROACHING THE E CENTRAL FL COAST TODAY...IN ADVANCE OF A
POSSIBLE EMBEDDED MCV. A COUPLE OF TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE
TODAY AS THE ERN GULF BAND MOVES INLAND...PRIMARILY WHERE THE STORMS
INTERSECT A SUBTLE RAIN-COOLED BOUNDARY ACROSS CENTRAL FL.

...E/SE TX TO CENTRAL LA/MS TODAY...
A WELL-DEVELOPED MCV FROM OVERNIGHT CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
ESEWD ACROSS N CENTRAL/NE TX TODAY. NEW STORM DEVELOPMENT WILL
LIKELY OCCUR ON THE SE FLANK OF THE MCV WHERE THE WEAK SURFACE
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY ENCOUNTERS RICHER BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE AND
SUBSTANTIAL SURFACE HEATING...ACROSS E TX. SOME FLOW ENHANCEMENT
ALOFT ALONG THE SRN PERIPHERY OF THE MCV COULD PROMOTE MORE
ORGANIZED STORM DEVELOPMENT BY THIS AFTERNOON...WITH CLUSTERS OF
STORMS EXPECTED TO SPREAD SEWD INTO THE STRONGER INSTABILITY ACROSS
E/SE TX. MLCAPE APPROACHING 3000 J/KG WITH EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR
NEAR 30 KT COULD SUPPORT STORMS CAPABLE OF ISOLATED LARGE HAIL...AS
WELL AS DAMAGING GUSTS GIVEN PRECIPITATION LOADING AND STEEP
LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES.

THE CLUSTER OF STORMS THIS MORNING IN LA ALONG I-20 COULD ALSO
PERSIST WHILE DEVELOPING SWWD ON CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW. A FEW STRONG
PULSE-TYPE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THIS CLUSTER TODAY...AND
ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT COULD OCCUR NEAR AND W OF THE SABINE RIVER AS
OUTFLOW WITH THESE STORMS INTERACT WITH THE NE TX CONVECTION AND
MCV. FARTHER E INTO MS...THE PRIMARY UNCERTAINTY IS THE DEGREE OF
LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE/INSTABILITY. IT APPEARS THAT STRONG SURFACE
HEATING WILL OCCUR E-SE OF THE ONGOING LA STORMS...WHILE RICHER
LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE COULD EXPAND A LITTLE FARTHER E/NE IN MS...JUST
TO THE NW OF THE INFLUENCE OF TROPICAL STORM ANDREA. THOUGH
VERTICAL SHEAR WILL BE WEAK...BUOYANCY COULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR A FEW
PULSE STORMS WITH STRONG OUTFLOW WINDS THIS AFTERNOON.

...SW TX AREA THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING...
OUTFLOW FROM OVERNIGHT CONVECTION HAS PUSHED BOUNDARY LAYER
DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S INTO FAR SW TX AND SE NM...AND THIS ENELY FLOW
REGIME WILL BE REINFORCED BY A SYNOPTIC COLD FRONT WHICH WILL SAG
SWD TODAY ACROSS THE SRN HIGH PLAINS. A BELT OF MODEST WNWLY
MID-UPPER FLOW WILL BE MAINTAINED OVER THIS AREA TODAY...WHICH WILL
CONTRIBUTE TO EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR WHICH SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR
SUPERCELLS. THE PRIMARY CONCERN WILL BE STORM COVERAGE SINCE
SYNOPTIC AND MESOSCALE INFLUENCES FOR ASCENT WILL BE NEBULOUS AT
BEST...THUS MOST STORM DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE TIED TO THE HIGHER
TERRAIN LIKE THE DAVIS AND SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS. ISOLATED LARGE
HAIL AND DAMAGING GUSTS WILL BE THE MAIN RISKS FOR A FEW HOURS LATE
THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING.

Nice wide view of TS Andrea and the storm complex to our N associated with the cool front. The outflow boundary to our N interacting with the circulation of Andrea in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico makes for an interesting visible shot.

TC's beginning to increase to my NW in Waller County. Our neighbors in SW Louisiana and far SE Texas keep an eye on a brief tropical funnels spinning up in this very moist and unstable atmosphere.

Update from Jeff:

Factors coming together to produce a round of thunderstorms this afternoon/evening.

Overnight thunderstorm complex (MCS) has developed a weak area of low pressure (MVC) over southern OK which is pushing an outflow boundary SSE into our NW counties at the moment. An additional cluster of storms developed this morning over C LA and has pushed an outflow boundary SW into our NE counties. A third boundary…the seabreeze is clearly visible along the coast and starting to move inland. The air mass over the region is already unstable and with additional heating expect to see storms rapidly develop over the next 2-4 hours along the incoming boundaries. Short range guidance is not handling the situation well, but feel the HRRR is likely the best at this moment and is trying to grasp the complicated low level pattern. It develops numerous thunderstorms across the area this afternoon as the seabreeze and SW moving outflow collide near I-10 and additional storms this evening on the SE moving boundary to our NW.

Given additional surface heating, the air mass will become more unstable and this along with weak shear on the south side of the S OK MVC will support a severe threat with the storms this afternoon. Large hail and damaging winds are the main threats and SPC has placed the entire area under a slight risk. Thus far storm motions have been fast enough to negate flooding however this may change this afternoon and low level boundaries collide and storms develop and mid level steering weakens. Given the tropical nature of the air mass in place, deep convection will have the potential for some excessive rainfall rates (2-3 inches per hour).
