Some big time storms in Texas today

[jasons2k]

The dryline shows-up on radar - I have it marked in orange-ish brown - it's just west of the watch box outline:

Boomers coming in right over us in Spring Branch, but no rain yet, When
I was out earlier it was obvious to me what was going to happen since we had day time heating going on and now it is here.

[Ed Mahmoud]

The HOU area storms looks pretty garden variety to me now, after the brief tornado warning in Burleson County.


Winds have shifted West along I-35 corridor, with dewpoints at SAT and EWX dropping sharply (wind is shifting in Austin, but dewpoint hadn't dropped yet as of 12:51), once the wind shift passes, I think it is game over. I think the actual shift, staring at radar, is near Columbus and I think we are running out of time for new cells to go before it passes.

But we got a nice rain last two days, no complaints.

Well, Ed, it's a mess. Good luck trying to make a good surface plot out of this mess. The dryline, earlier, seemed to be pretty evident as a wind shift was clearly depicted on radar (I marked it above) and backed-up by surface obs.

In the last hour or so, winds in the Giddings/Bastrop area have veered back around to an easterly direction - not sure if this is in response to the dryline re-establishing itself further west (which is unusual during daylight hours) or contamination/outflow from the earlier storms that have moved-out to the NE.

I'm just not sure at this point. I think the only thing really clear now is that the dryline has pushed east of I-35 now, even if barely so.

We now have another line of storms moving through the Houston area. It just passed the Spring Branch area where I live a few minutes ago. Some are still building so areas to our East need to be watching closely. As stated in the bulletins in the other thread some of these storms to the NE of Houston metro(in Cleveland) have produced confirmed 100 mph winds and 2" diameter hail. Radar has consistently shown a hook echo and mid and low level rotation in that area so final confirmation of a tornado would not surprise me.
Another severe t'storm warning has been issued for this line as it is obviously building.

edit: Storms are building rapidly and are now starting to show signs of rotation beginning near US290 and I610 heading into the Heights area. Everyone from that area East needs to be very aware and start taking cover for possible damaging winds and hail.
Calls are going out for extra emergency help in the Cleveland, TX area so that area has apparently been hit pretty hard. I am getting this info off the TV as it is being reported.

[southerngale]

We've been under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch since earlier this afternoon, but they just issued a Tornado Watch as well. It's only for about 3 hours so I assume it's for the developing weather west of here that David is talking about.

LANDRENEAU

[jasons2k]

I got .35" yesterday but only .04" today. The line had a small break in it this afternoon and the break went right over my house.

I've had 2.90" total since Tuesday. I know that doesn't "officially" break the drought, but for all intents and purposes, there are no signs of a drought around here as there is a lot of standing water around.

[southerngale]

I don't know how much I got total (I need to get that weather station put up now that I've finally moved), but I think I got the most on Friday. The storms that came through with the warning I posted above brought very heavy rain. Fortunately, the warning didn't pan out here and the storms weren't severe (much more intense Wednesday night), but it left a lot more standing water than the previous days. Of course the ground was more saturated each time, so I dunno. Anyway, same here, Jason. I don't know what the official standing is down at the airport, but there's no drought here!

And brrrr... a chilly 37° this morning. I said it previously, but one time I'll get it right - I think this was the last 30's reading we'll see for the season.

[vbhoutex]

Surprisingly I only got a total 1" out of these systems. Temps were 39ºf Sat am and 41ºf this am. One of our local ocm's is calling for severe on Tuesday. If the positioning of the jet stream etc. as he stated it is correct I would tend to agree with him.

[Ed Mahmoud]

Wimpy looking radar echoes I would have sworn were virga have dampened the parking lot outside my Galleria area office window...


Still waiting for storms to maybe fire I-35 corridor ICT to OKC for former SE TX resident EWG...

[Ed Mahmoud]

A storm with up to quarter sized hail is approaching Shiner, TX, home of the Spoetzl brewery, meanwhile, a more significant threat developing in SW Louisiana...


I think I saw a tornado warning flash by in the NWS LCH CWA, but is is gone already.



However...

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0345
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0858 AM CDT TUE MAR 31 2009

AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF CNTRL/SRN LA INTO SRN MS

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 311358Z - 311530Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE THIS MORNING IN
ASSOCIATION WITH ONGOING MCS. HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE
PRIMARY THREATS THOUGH A TORNADO OR TWO WILL BE POSSIBLE.

AS OF 1340Z...REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY INDICATED A QUASI-LINEAR
CONVECTIVE SYSTEM /QLCS/ EXTENDING FROM JACKSON AND WINN PARISHES IN
N-CNTRL LA SWWD ST. AUGUSTINE AND SABINE COUNTIES IN SERN TX. THIS
SYSTEM IS DISPLAYING SEVERAL EMBEDDED CIRCULATIONS WHILE MOVING EWD
AT 30-35 KT. LATEST MESOANALYSIS INDICATES PRIMARY SYNOPTIC COLD
FRONT FROM CNTRL AR SWWD THROUGH NWRN LA INTO SERN TX. A RETREATING
WARM FRONT WAS ANALYZED FROM INTERSECTION WITH COLD FRONT JUST N OF
TOLEDO BEND BEFORE STRETCHING GENERALLY SEWD THROUGH SERN LA/FAR
SERN MS AND INTO THE NERN GULF OF MEXICO.

THIS QLCS APPEARS TO BE FOCUSED NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF THE WARM
AND COLD FRONTS AND DRIVEN LARGELY BY LOW-LEVEL WAA IN ADVANCE OF
MID-LEVEL VORTICITY MAXIMUM ROTATING EWD THROUGH THE RED RIVER
VALLEY. 12Z REGIONAL SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT AIR MASS S OF
RETREATING WARM FRONT IS RELATIVELY MOIST WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID
60S AND MEAN MIXING RATIOS OF 12-13 G/KG. WHILE LOW CLOUDS REMAIN
WIDESPREAD THIS MORNING...THIS MOISTURE COUPLED WITH SOME DIABATIC
HEATING SHOULD SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIR
MASS ALONG AND S OF WARM FRONT WITH SBCAPE APPROACHING 1000-1500
J/KG.

CURRENT THINKING IS THAT QLCS WILL CONTINUE EWD ALONG RETREATING
WARM FRONT TODAY WITH SYSTEM DEVELOPING SWD INTO DESTABILIZING WARM
SECTOR. THE COMBINATION OF 45-55 KT OF DEEP-LAYER SHEAR AND
STRENGTHENING LOW-LEVEL WIND FIELDS WITH EWD EXTENT SHOULD SERVE TO
MAINTAIN AN ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE SYSTEM WITH EMBEDDED BOWING AND/OR
SUPERCELL STRUCTURES. WHILE DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL WILL BE THE
PRIMARY SEVERE THREATS...A TORNADO OR TWO WILL BE POSSIBLE...
ESPECIALLY WITH PORTION OF QLCS INTERACTING WITH WARM FRONT.
