A tornado watch will likely be needed by 14-15Z. DISCUSSION...The east TX to western LA warm-moist sector characterized by 66-71 F surface dew points has roughly reached a TPL to 20 S CRS to IER line as of 12Z. Pervasive cloud coverage will slow diabatic surface heating after sunrise, but the rich moisture profile will only need a few degrees of warming to yield a marked increase in surface-based convection. This will be favorably timed with strengthening large-scale ascent and flow fields ahead of a pronounced shortwave trough near central TX. 06Z ECMWF and recent HRRR guidance suggest scattered to widespread warm-moist sector thunderstorms will occur by midday. A strengthening kinematic profile should foster several to numerous supercells. Tornado potential will become more favorable with eastern extent in TX to LA, as hodographs enlarge midday into the afternoon. ...Grams/Edwards.. 12/28/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!_l2Bh32XHmKKw30RxYwCFba7IyUe_L5rdp-BhuQuzSeUCIr81T-ZRAjkC_nfeWVitcBBDloex= XDJiry0OtqvwGKrUDs$ for graphic product...
