MD 0396 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF THE EDWARDS PLATEAU AND THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY



Mesoscale Discussion 0396
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1006 PM CDT Sat Apr 01 2017

Areas affected...Portions of the Edwards Plateau and the Texas Hill
Country

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

Valid 020306Z - 020500Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will increase in coverage across southwest
Texas late this evening, before eventually spreading east/northeast
towards morning. Initially, large hail and damaging winds will be
the primary threat. However, a threat for a couple tornadoes will
likely materialize overnight as storms develop east. Watch issuance
is likely within the next couple of hours.

DISCUSSION...Convection has once again blossomed over the Serranias
del Burro mountains late this evening, likely in response to
amplifying large-scale ascent related to a strengthening upper level
jet. It is uncertain whether these cells are the beginning of a more
organized expansion of convection through the overnight hours.
However, as a southeasterly low-level jet and related moist/warm
advection intensify over the next several hours, confidence is high
that more widespread thunderstorm activity will develop near the Rio
Grande ahead of a cold front to the northwest. Initially, this
activity will interact with surface dew points in the upper 50s to
near 60. Combined with steep mid-level lapse rates and ample
effective shear (both observed in the 00Z DRT sounding), these cells
will be capable of large hail and damaging winds.

Through the early overnight however, low-level moisture will surge
westward as surface-to-850mb east/southeasterly flow intensifies.
Surface observations depict dew points in the mid/upper 60s over
south-central Texas, and this greater moisture should advance
westward quickly. Therefore, cells will evolve eastward into an
environment characterized by 2000+ J/kg of MLCAPE. Combined with
notable low-level speed shear and some veering with height, a threat
for a couple tornadoes should gradually increase through the night,
especially with eastward extent. Therefore, despite the uncertainty
regarding timing of the organized severe threat, a watch will be
likely within the next couple hours.

That's about 3 severe categories higher than I'd prefer to be in so plenty bad enough but all eyes on the people in Tx/La where they maintained the moderate risk with a 15% hatched tornado!

AL Risk saved image of day 2 30% hatched for all in enhanced/category 3 of 5

...Southeast...
At least the remnants of a substantial mesoscale convective system
probably will be in the process of advancing east of the lower
Mississippi Valley at the beginning of the period. And guidance
appears increasingly suggestive that a preceding corridor of
appreciable boundary layer moistening and destabilization will keep
pace with it, contributing to the potential maintenance or
re-invigoration of activity through the day Monday. In the presence
of ambient wind profiles characterized by strong deep layer shear
and large-clockwise curved low-level hodographs (near a 50+ kt
southerly 850 mb jet), the environment appears more than favorable
for an organized damaging wind threat, along with a few tornadoes.

Discrete supercell development appears possible ahead of the
convective system, particularly later in the day across the piedmont
of Alabama into Georgia, on the southern fringe of the stronger
forcing associated with the mid/upper trough. This activity may
persist and possibly grow upscale into another evolving convective
system, spreading into the Carolina piedmont late Monday afternoon
and evening. Severe wind gusts/hail and tornadoes all appear
possible with this activity.

I think this was a good idea by the SPC. The model agreement and trends strongly favor it.

I'm a bit antsy about Monday. Things have been trending more ominous for GA . Likely the best set-up North GA has seen in quite some time (though that's not really saying a ton).

MD 0397 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 107... FOR SOUTH-CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST TX



Mesoscale Discussion 0397
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0247 AM CDT Sun Apr 02 2017

Areas affected...South-central and southwest TX

Concerning...Tornado Watch 107...

Valid 020747Z - 020915Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 107 continues.

SUMMARY...Severe storms remain likely across the western half of WW
107 with large hail and damaging winds being the primary threat in
the short term trough 09Z. Trends with the southern most discrete
storm in northern Coahuila Mexico suggest it could move into
northwest Maverick county TX by 08Z. Local WFO areal extension may
be needed on the southern part of WW 107.

DISCUSSION...Early overnight trends in mosaic radar imagery
indicated the strongest storms capable of producing severe-weather
(mainly hail and/or damaging winds, at this time) extended from
southern Val Verde county to south of the International border in
northern Coahuila (60 SW to 35 S of DRT). This activity was located
equatorward of the southern extent of a convectively reinforced cold
front, which at 07Z extended from San Saba County to near KJCT to
northern Val Verde County. IR satellite imagery indicated the
coldest cloud tops were located along the International border with
Val Verde County, while radar imagery showed new thunderstorm
development occurring along the southwest flank (in northern
Coahuila) of this cluster of thunderstorms.

Forcing for ascent attendant to an apparent midlevel impulse moving
from the TX Big Bend region into the Edwards Plateau and height
falls with the approaching this region from Chihuahua Mexico and Far
West TX are expected to maintain this cluster of storms into the
early morning. Forecast veering of 40 kt 850-mb and 700-mb jets to
southerly and southwesterly overnight into this morning should
result in an east-northeast advancement of the organizing MCS along
the International border into Val Verde and Kinney Counties. The
03Z ESRL-HRRR continues to show this evolution in storm mode, given
a persistent influx of rich moisture from the northwest Gulf of
Mexico combined with strong effective bulk shear of 50+ kt.

Farther north across northern Val Verde to Sutton Counties, the
severe-weather threat appears to be diminishing as the air mass has
been convectively overturned. Thunderstorms should persist
overnight, though the severe risk is likely lower than earlier.

MD 0398 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY FOR SOUTH-CENTRAL TO NORTHEAST TX



Mesoscale Discussion 0398
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0516 AM CDT Sun Apr 02 2017

Areas affected...South-central to northeast TX

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

Valid 021016Z - 021215Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

SUMMARY...A new tornado watch will be issued by 1030-11Z for
portions of south-central to northeast TX. All severe hazards will
be possible through this morning into the afternoon across the
discussion area.

DISCUSSION...Ongoing strong to severe storms located in central and
southwest portions of WW 107 are embedded within an MCS with the
likelihood for MCV formation in this complex, given an extended
period of latent heat release. Meanwhile, additional cloud-top
cooling per IR satellite imagery and reflectivity developing from
the vicinity of KAUS to KHOU is occurring within strengthening
low-level warm air advection on the north edge of the surface warm
sector. A strengthening and veering low-level jet has maintained
rich moisture return across south-central into central and southeast
TX overnight, with ongoing destabilization expected to persist
through the morning into the afternoon across the discussion area.
Strengthening vertically veering winds with the approach of the
mid-upper level trough into southwest and central TX will sustain
strong bulk shear and increasing low-level shear to support both
bowing lines and supercells. Surface-based supercells will become
more probable across the northern extent of the warm sector toward
midday. There will be a gradual increase in damaging winds, hail,
and tornado threats through the day.

As far as the weather for north Alabama, especially Huntsville metro, for the Monday morning commute just a lot of rain with some rumbles of thunder and maybe some small hail? I have to drive from Huntsville to Athens early Monday morning for a magazine interview and am curious to see how bad it will get. Of course if the weather is too bad, I will have to postpone the interview.

HRRR is not very enthused about getting surface destabilization north of I-20/59. Looks like elevated storms capable of producing some stronger wind gusts and heavy rain Monday morning with a potent MCS. But the core of it should stay south of north Alabama according to current CAMs.

MD 0399 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...TORNADO WATCH LIKELY FOR EASTERN TEXAS THROUGH EXTREME WESTERN LOUISIANA



Mesoscale Discussion 0399
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0904 AM CDT Sun Apr 02 2017

Areas affected...eastern Texas through extreme western Louisiana

Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely

Valid 021404Z - 021630Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

SUMMARY...The threat for tornadoes is expected to increase from late
morning into the afternoon over a portion of east TX. A tornado
watch will likely be issued for parts of east TX into western LA by
16Z, and a PDS tornado watch is being considered. The new watch
might also replace the eastern portion of tornado watch 108.

DISCUSSION...Early this morning numerous discrete to semi-discrete
storms including supercells are developing within a zone of warm
advection and isentropic ascent in the vicinity of a warm front
located from southern LA through eastern TX. The storms north of the
warm front are likely slightly elevated, while activity along and
just south of this boundary are probably ingesting
near-surface-based inflow parcels.

Current expectations are for the storms well north of the warm front
to weaken as they move north into the more stable boundary layer
across northeast TX, but may still pose a short term large hail
threat. Visible imagery indicates some diabatic warming may commence
by mid morning over southeast TX, contributing to further boundary
layer destabilization near the warm front. The front should move
slowly north as the low-level jet strengthens across eastern TX into
far western LA in response to forcing for ascent within exit region
of an upper jet rotating through base of synoptic trough. Increasing
0-1 km hodograph size resulting from the strengthening LLJ and
destabilization of the boundary layer should contribute to an
increasing threat for supercells with strong low-level mesocyclones
and tornadoes as storms continue developing in vicinity of the warm
front.
