MD 0727 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR FAR SOUTH TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0727 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0706 PM CDT Tue May 06 2025 Areas affected...Far south Texas Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 070006Z - 070200Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...Thunderstorms developing west of the lower Rio Grande may cross into far south Texas later this evening. If this occurs, the environment is favorable for robust supercells with an attendant large hail and severe wind threat. DISCUSSION...Multiple attempts at sustained deep convection are underway along the eastern slopes of the Sierra Madre mountains to the west of the lower Rio Grande. Storms that can remain sustained away from the orographic ascent along the terrain will migrate into an increasingly moist/buoyant air mass with eastward extent into Deep South TX where they will likely intensify into robust supercells given a very buoyant and strongly sheared environment (MLCAPE values upwards of 4000 J/kg with ~60 knots of effective deep layer shear). One deeper/stronger cell northwest of Rio Grande City, TX has recently exhibited echo tops above 50 kft, suggesting that this cell could remain sustained for the next few hours and pose a downstream threat for large hail (potentially upwards of 2.0 to 3.5 inches) and severe winds. Recent high-res guidance suggests multiple rounds of isolated convection may move into the region through the late evening and overnight hours. ..Moore/Smith.. 05/07/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0728 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PARTS OF THE TEXAS COASTAL PLAIN
Mesoscale Discussion 0728 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0735 PM CDT Tue May 06 2025 Areas affected...parts of the Texas Coastal Plain Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 070035Z - 070230Z Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent SUMMARY...Thunderstorms developing along a cold front/outflow boundary will likely pose a large hail threat across parts of the TX Coastal Plain for the next few hours. Watch issuance is probable based on recent convective trends. DISCUSSION...Regional radar mosaics and GOES IR imagery show multiple thunderstorms and convective towers developing along a southeastward moving cold front/outflow boundary along the TX Coastal Plain. The near-storm convective environment remains very favorable for organized convection with around 4000 J/kg MLCAPE and roughly 60 knots of effective bulk shear recently sampled by the 00 UTC CRP sounding. This environment will support vigorous thunderstorm development along the boundary with primarily a large to very large hail threat (possibly upwards of 2.0 to 3.5 inches in diameter). Stronger capping with southwestward extend should limit storm coverage, but will also promote a higher probability for discrete, potentially long-lived convection. Given the recent radar trends of the developing cells (echo tops beginning to exceed 40-50 kft), watch issuance appears probable. ..Moore/Smith.. 05/07/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Mesoscale Discussion 0729 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0810 PM CDT Tue May 06 2025 Areas affected...in parts of sern TX...cntrl and srn LA...swrn MS Concerning...Tornado Watch 234...235... Valid 070110Z - 070315Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 234, 235 continues. SUMMARY...Strong convection, embedded within a broader area of thunderstorm activity, could still gradually organize this evening across parts of central Louisiana into southwestern and south central Louisiana. Although uncertain, it is possible Tornado Watch 234 will be allowed to expire as scheduled at 02Z. DISCUSSION...Although the primary surface baroclinic zone remains stalled across central Louisiana through southern Mississippi, consolidating convective development across much of southern into central Louisiana and southwestern Mississippi has primarily remain rooted within lift associated with warm advection, above the seasonably moist boundary layer. This idea is supported by 07/00Z raobs from Lake Charles and Slidell. If lift of boundary-layer parcels through at least weak inhibition evident in the 850-700 mb layer could be sustained, the environment still appears supportive of supercells with the conditional risk of a strong tornado. However, this is appearing less likely with time. It still might not be out of the question that stronger convection could gradually organize over the next few hours, particularly close to the frontal zone across southwestern/south central Mississippi. This could result in another developing mesoscale convective vortex, perhaps accompanied by increasing potential for strong to severe surface gusts. ..Kerr.. 05/07/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0752 PM CDT Tue May 06 2025 Valid 070100Z - 071200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTH TEXAS...THE TEXAS COASTAL PLAIN...SABINE RIVER VALLEY...LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY... ...SUMMARY... Severe storms, associated with large hail, severe gusts and an isolated tornado threat, will be possible across parts of the Texas Coastal Plain, Sabine River Valley and lower Mississippi Valley this evening. Marginally severe hail will also be possible in parts of west Texas. ...Texas Coastal Plain/Sabine River Valley/Lower Mississippi Valley... Latest surface analysis shows a cold front across the Texas Coastal Plain, along which a broken line of strong thunderstorms is ongoing. An MCS is located from east Texas eastward across much of Louisiana, along and near a warm front. The MCS is being supported by large-scale ascent associated with a shortwave trough, evident on water vapor imagery over the Ark-La-Tex and lower Mississippi Valley. The storms are also being supported by warm advection from southern Louisiana into far southern Mississippi, where the RAP has MLCAPE in the 1000 to 2000 J/kg range. The MCS will continue to move eastward across this unstable airmass this evening. Within the MCS, rotating storms should be capable of producing large hail and wind damage. In addition, the Lake Charles, Louisiana 00Z Sounding has 0-3 km storm-relative helicity near 500 m2/s2. This will support an isolated tornado threat with supercells that remain strong this evening. Further southwest from the Texas Coastal Plain into south Texas, a very moist and unstable airmass will reside this evening. In south Texas, the RAP suggests that MLCAPE is as great as 4500 J/kg. The strong instability is reflected on the 00Z sounding at Brownsville, Texas, where 0-6 km shear is near 50 knots, and the 700-500 mb lapse rate is near 8 C/km. This environment will support supercell development later this evening into the overnight period as a subtle shortwave trough moves into the region. Isolated large hail and severe gusts will be possible. ...West Texas... A mid-level low is currently evident on water vapor imagery across eastern New Mexico. A trough extends southeastward from the low across west and north Texas. The trough is supporting thunderstorm storm development along and near an axis of instability. The RAP is estimating MLCAPE in the 500 to 750 J/kg range over parts of the Caprock near Lubbock. In addition, the Lubbock WSR-88D VWP has 0-6 km shear near 45 knots. RAP forecast soundings early this evening near Lubbock have steep low to mid-level lapse rates in the 7 to 8 C/km range. This environment should support a marginal threat for hail and severe gusts over the next hour or two. ..Broyles.. 05/07/2025 Read more

Primary concerns are large hail and damaging winds, though the tornado risk could increase with time. DISCUSSION...A mix of semi-discrete supercells and line segments are evolving in the warm-advection wing extending from eastern LA into southwestern MS. Around 50 kt of 0-6 km shear (per HDC VWP data) and middle/upper 60s dewpoints spreading gradually northward along/south of the warm front will continue to support this activity as it continues spreading east-northeastward over the next few hours. While some of these storms will remain elevated north of the warm front, posing mainly a risk of large hail, any storms that can mature along/south of the surface front will be capable of producing damaging winds, large hail, and perhaps a brief tornado -- given ample low-level buoyancy and SRH. Convective trends are being monitored for a possible watch for parts of the area. ..Weinman/Smith.. 05/06/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...JAN...LIX...

MD 0725 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 233... FOR EASTERN NEW YORK AND PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHERN NEW JERSEY
Mesoscale Discussion 0725 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0457 PM CDT Tue May 06 2025 Areas affected...Eastern New York and portions of northeast Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 233... Valid 062157Z - 070000Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 233 continues. SUMMARY...A band of thunderstorms beginning to move out of WW 233 has shown signs of weakening over the past hour. However, residual buoyancy and strong shear downstream may maintain some severe risk into parts of eastern New York. Downstream watch issuance is not currently expected, but trends will be monitored. DISCUSSION...Lightning counts have trended down within an arcing band of storms moving out of northeast PA and into NY. Concurrently, GOES IR imagery shows a slight warming trend in cloud-top temperatures, also suggesting a gradual weakening trend. Currently, the best convective environment resides across eastern portions of WW 233 - specifically far eastern PA into northern NJ and southern NY - where a few robust cells continue to show periodic intensification. Although some buoyancy exists immediately downstream of the convective band (around 250-500 J/kg MLCAPE), the overall weakening trend is largely expected to continue as the onset of the early evening transition within the next 1-2 hours begins to limit surface-based buoyancy and increase inhibition. However, robust ascent ahead of a mid-level shortwave/vorticity maximum and 45-50 knots of deep-layer shear sampled by regional VWPs may continue to support storm maintenance and occasional intensification of cells and/or segments within the line. Given the aforementioned thermodynamic challenges, this is not anticipated to be a widespread threat, but localized areas of damaging gusts appear possible through 00 UTC. ..Moore.. 05/06/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
