Isolated severe thunderstorms will be possible on Saturday over southeast Texas and near the Louisiana coast. ....Southeast TX and far southern LA... Primary severe potential should be confined to Saturday morning across the Middle to Upper TX coastal plain. A swath of deep convection is expected to be ongoing, with moderate uncertainty over how far east across the coastal plain the activity will be at 12Z. The modest instability axis, characterized by MLCAPE near 1000 J/kg, will extend from the Middle TX Coast into the northwest Gulf. A gradient of diminishing buoyancy will be present to the northeast, ahead of the clusters, where surface dew points decrease to the lower 60s and upper 50s. Adequate low-level shear should support a threat of localized damaging winds and a brief tornado, before surface-based convection shifts entirely offshore. The intrusion of surface-based instability into LA, outside of the mouth of the MS River Delta, seems unlikely given minimal diurnal surface heating amid widespread rain/clouds. ....Red River vicinity of northeast TX/southeast OK... Late afternoon to early evening thunderstorm redevelopment will be possible along parts of the occluded front arcing east then southeast of the primary cyclone over northwest TX. The most probable corridor for this to occur appears to be across northeast TX into southeast OK. The impinging of steeper mid-level lapse rates with approach of the thermal trough may support small hail in low-topped convection along the front. ...Grams.. 02/02/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
