    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.

    Areas affected...Northwest into north central MN

    Concerning...Heavy snow=20

    Valid 220034Z - 220530Z

    SUMMARY...Snowfall rates of 1 to 1.5 inches per hour will spread
    northeastward into northwest and north central MN through 06z.

    DISCUSSION...A midlevel shortwave trough and associated vorticity
    lobes will continue to move east-northeastward from central SD
    toward northern MN through the overnight hours. Associated surface cyclogenesis is underway across northeast SD, though the primary
    surface warm sector is confined to extreme southern MN. A zone of
    warm advection and differential CVA will continue to support
    precipitation development northeastward from southeast ND into MN
    tonight. Along and northwest of the surface cyclone track, wet bulb
    profiles will remain below 0 C, supporting snow as the primary
    precipitation type. As the column saturates, snowfall rates of 1 to
    1.5 inches per hour this evening will spread into northwest MN, and
    continue northeastward into north central MN through 06z. The
    snowfall rates are supported by recent observations in southeast ND.

    Areas affected...much of lower Michigan...northeastern
    Indiana...northwestern Ohio

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 261808Z - 262045Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...An increasingly organized band of showers, and developing thunderstorms, may be accompanied by increasing potential for strong
    to locally severe surface gusts by 4-5 PM EDT. It is still not
    clear that a severe weather watch is needed, but trends are being
    monitored for this possibility.

    DISCUSSION...Weak destabilization within a narrow pre-frontal
    corridor of low-level warming and moistening, coupled with
    large-scale ascent aided by warm advection, has contributed to
    increasing showers across western lower Michigan southward toward
    the Indianapolis IN vicinity. Some lightning has recently been
    noted southeast of South Bend, but low-level lapse rates are still
    relatively modest and the moistening is only contributing to very
    weak CAPE.

    This may be slow to improve, but breaks in cloud cover may allow for
    at least some continuing insolation during the next few hours.=20
    Perhaps more notably, within the left exit region of an intensifying
    mid-level jet (in excess of 100 kt around 500 mb) nosing
    north-northeastward through the lower Ohio Valley, strengthening
    low-level frontogenetic forcing is forecast along the eastward
    advancing front across central lower Michigan through the
    Indiana/Ohio border area by 20-21Z. This may support a
    consolidating and deepening band of convection with increasing
    potential to produce lightning.=20=20

    In the presence of fairly strong (and strongly sheared)
    south-southwesterly lower/mid-tropospheric flow (including 40-50+ kt
    mean ambient flow in the lowest 3-6 km AGL), activity may become
    increasingly organized. Downward mixing of momentum may contribute
    to potentially damaging wind gusts reaching the surface in
    northeastward surging segments, while the line advances eastward
    toward the lower Great Lakes region through late afternoon.
