OCTOBER 2018 - Stormy Halloween

[sau27]

I don’t see any sort of break this afternoon which would allow much instability to build. Looks like a mostly rain event to me.

I agree, but SPC is seeing something persuading them to issue a Watch shortly. I trust their eyes more than mine.

I don’t see any sort of break this afternoon which would allow much instability to build. Looks like a mostly rain event to me.

Hope that's the case. Southwest just lost my future business. They cancelled many flights into Houston earlier when other carriers landed +/- 30 minutes around when ours should have. Lost an entire day of vacation and I'm not even home yet. Worried about the 2nd flight they have us on getting in at 9

That storm Southwest of town is starting to look suspiciously supercelly

[Stormrider]

Received a quick 1+ inches in Galveston this afternoon. And this isn't the main event.

[Belmer]

That storm Southwest of town is starting to look suspiciously supercelly

Was just about to mention that... If you're in the Sugar Land/Missouri City area... keep a close eye to the cell approaching your SW. Radar shows rotation is increasing. This storm is heading NE and will work itself into SW Harris County near Bellaire in the next 30-45 minutes.

PUBLIC SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0310 PM CDT WED OCT 31 2018

...Severe thunderstorms expected over parts of the lower Mississippi
Valley this evening and overnight...

* LOCATIONS...
Louisiana
Southern and Central Mississippi
East Texas

* HAZARDS...
A few intense tornadoes
Scattered damaging winds
Isolated large hail

* SUMMARY...
The greatest risk for severe thunderstorms, capable of producing
damaging winds, hail, and tornadoes, exists from southeast Texas
to the lower Mississippi Valley through tonight.

Preparedness actions...

Tornadoes at night can be particularly dangerous because they
are usually fast-moving and difficult to see. Stay tuned to
NOAA Weather Radio, weather.gov, or other media for watches and
warnings. A tornado watch means that conditions are favorable
for tornadoes to form during the next several hours. If a tornado
warning is issued for your area, move to a place of safety,
ideally in a basement or interior room on the lowest floor of a
sturdy building.
