Thunderstorms have moved southeastward from the Texas coast, into the central Gulf of Mexico ahead of a cold front. It appears that this activity will move northeastward with time... ahead of this eastward moving frontal system.

Thunderstorms developed quickly today over the western Gulf of Mexico and another area has developed (at least
fairly rapidly) across northeastern and eastern Texas.

Lightning strikes have developed across southeastern Texas, basically "filling in" between the two existing areas.
