    Areas affected...portions of central Texas

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 54...

    Valid 212232Z - 220000Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 54 continues.

    SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Tornado Watch #054.
    Large hail, damaging gusts and tornadoes may accompany any mature
    storm within the watch. A corridor of greater severe potential is
    likely developing near Austin, TX and will progress northeast
    through the remainder of the afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Multiple supercells, thunderstorm clusters, and linear
    segments have developed across the western portions of Tornado Watch
    #054 over the past couple of hours, with a history of tornadoes near
    Jacksboro and Bowie Texas. Storms continue to develop ahead of a
    Pacific front/dryline just west of the I-35 corridor, and are
    advancing east into a buoyant airmass. These storms are also
    progressing toward the axis of the low-level jet, where greater
    moisture and low-level shear exist (per 22z mesoanalysis). 20Z RAP
    forecast soundings (valid for 22-00Z) show large, curved hodographs
    downshear of the ongoing storms). As such, tornado potential is
    expected to increase through the remainder of the afternoon into the
    evening hours.=20

    Of particular concern are the supercells along a line from Burnet to
    Guadalupe Counties, which are tracking in an thermodynamic
    environment characterized by 2000+ J/kg MLCAPE. Given the storm mode
    and aforementioned buoyancy/shear, a heightened tornado threat may
    develop. Any supercell that becomes dominant/discrete (relatively
    pristine inflow) will have the greatest risk for producing strong
    tornadoes, and a long-lived, long-tracked tornado cannot be
    completely ruled out.

    Areas affected...portions of central Texas

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 68...

    Valid 162125Z - 162230Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 68 continues.

    SUMMARY...Storms developing long the dryline may pose a severe risk
    in the next couple of hours. Tornado Watch 68 will be extended
    southward.

    DISCUSSION...Over the last 30 minutes, several stronger updrafts
    have emerged along and ahead of the dryline west of Interstate 35 in
    central TX. Ahead of the developing convection, temperatures in the
    upper 70s to low 80s F with dewpoints in the mid 60s were supporting
    MLCAPE of 1500-2500 J/kg. Deep-layer shear remains highly favorable
    for supercells with the FWD 20z special sounding/VAD showing 50-55
    kt of effective shear. As storms mature, they may pose a risk for
    large to very large hail given favorable buoyancy and deep-layer
    shear. A tornado risk may also evolve if storms are able to remain
    discrete farther east where low-level shear is stronger. Given the
    current position and projected trajectories of the new storms,
    Tornado Watch 68 will be extended southward.

    Areas affected...Parts of southeastern Minnesota and
    northern/central Wisconsin

    Concerning...Heavy snow=20

    Valid 242204Z - 250300Z

    SUMMARY...A snowband with eventual heavy rates near 1-1.5 inch/hour
    is expected to move northward across parts of southeastern Minnesota
    and northern/central Wisconsin into tonight. The onset of heavier
    rates is expected in the 23Z-04Z time frame.

    DISCUSSION...KARX radar data and mesoanalysis as of 22Z indicate a
    well-defined frontogenetic band moving northward across far northern
    IA, southern MN, and southwest WI. This band is generally located
    along the northern periphery of a swath of 40-50-kt 1-km flow per
    regional VWP data, which also shows a large clockwise-curved
    low-level hodograph -- indicative of strong low-level warm-air
    advection. The associated low-level warm nose is yielding melting of hydrometeors beneath the snowband (and a robust bright-banding
    signature), with light to moderate snowfall rates thus far.

    With time, the band will continue northward into a region of colder
    low-level air, and additional low-level cooling should be aided by
    nocturnal effects and wet-bulbing. As a result, snowfall rates
    should eventually increase to near 1-1.5 inch/hour as the snowband
    moves into the increasingly cold air. There is some uncertainty on
    how widespread these heavier rates will be (especially in the next
    couple of hours), due to the marginally cold temperatures and much
    of the frontogenetic ascent remaining below the dendritic growth
    zone. Nevertheless, the heavy-snow potential should increase in the
    23Z-04Z time frame.
