Areas affected...Portions of coastal/southeast TX into much of
western/northern LA
Concerning...Tornado Watch 58...59...
Valid 221115Z - 221245Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 58, 59 continues.
SUMMARY...Mainly a damaging wind an isolated tornado threat should
continue this morning. A new Tornado Watch will likely be issued
between 12-13Z (7-8 AM CDT).
DISCUSSION...A small bowing complex has recently consolidated west
of the Houston metro. Recent radar velocity data from KHGX suggest
that damaging winds should be the main threat with this activity in
the near term as it moves across coastal southeast TX. A 50-60 kt
southerly low-level jet present along/ahead of the ongoing
convection is fostering impressive low-level shear, with 0-1 km SRH
estimates from KHGX VWPs over the past hour rapidly increasing above
400 m2/s2. Given this enhanced low-level shear and enlarged
hodographs in the 0-3 km layer, embedded circulations within the
line may produce brief, isolated tornadoes. Farther northeast across
LA, a moist low-level airmass is in place ahead of a band of
thunderstorms. MLCAPE around 1000-1500 J/kg and 50+ kt of effective
bulk shear present across the warm sector are expected to support
continued updraft organization this morning.
The cluster moving northeastward across southeast TX will likely
continue to pose a damaging wind and isolated tornado threat as it
spreads into western LA in a few hours. More discrete
(supercellular) storms may also form ahead of the cluster across the
open warm sector in LA along subtle pre-frontal confluence bands
given the strong warm advection/lift associated with the southerly
low-level jet. If this occurs, then they would pose a greater threat
for tornadoes. A new Tornado Watch will likely be issued before 13Z
(8 AM CDT) across parts of coastal southeast TX into much of
western/northern LA to address this persistent severe threat.
