Not a tremedous amount of shear over LA but with that vort swinging through... gives me the creeps (and a desire to drive down
)
As SF correctly noted, SE will see more shearing. I think the 0Z eta puts the cutoff a bit too far west but that is simply a guess for now.

Kelly it looks like the storms will move over the Beaumont area in about an hour. I would advise you to stay up in case any Tornado warnings are issued. Keep us posted.

It's almost like Beaumont is looking down the barrel of a loaded gun right now. I bet there's quite a light show to your south and west. Time to brew some coffee Kelly!
