    Areas affected...southeast Texas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 302248Z - 310115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Shallow convection ongoing over southeast Texas may rotate
    at times, with a low chance of a brief/weak tornado or strong wind
    gust.

    DISCUSSION...Scattered shallow storms persist over southeast Texas
    ahead of a cold front extending from Shreveport to just northwest of
    the Houston metro as of 2230Z. These cells are within a low-level
    warm/moist advection regime where dewpoints have risen solidly into
    the middle 60s F.

    Given currently observed storm motions around 180/25 kt, modified
    VWP hodographs indicate marginal levels of SRH for a tornado threat
    (around 75-100 m2/s2 0-1km). Modified forecast soundings indicate
    that parcels are surface-based, but with minimal MLCAPE, and, with
    an inversion around 600 mb. Given the northward motion of the cells,
    it appears little rightward propagation is occurring at this time
    (which would increase SRH).

    While a brief/weak tornado cannot be ruled out with the stronger
    cells given sufficient shear, the overall severe threat appears low.
    Any minor threat will subside once the cold front passes, rendering
    cells elevated.

    Areas affected...Northern FL into far southeast GA

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 271904Z - 272100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...The threat for locally damaging wind and perhaps a tornado
    continues this afternoon. Watch issuance remains unlikely due to the
    isolated nature of the threat.

    DISCUSSION...At 19Z, the thunderstorm cluster which earlier produced
    a tornado in the Tallahassee area is moving eastward along the I-10
    corridor in northern FL. This cluster has weakened slightly compared
    to 1-2 hours ago, as it has moved into a slightly cooler and less
    unstable airmass. However, effective shear of 40-50 kt remains more
    than sufficient to support occasional upticks in convective
    organization, and this cluster will continue to pose a threat of
    isolated damaging wind and perhaps a tornado as it moves eastward
    this afternoon and interacts with a surface boundary that is slowly
    sagging southward out of far southern GA. Surface observations
    indicate that slightly greater warming/destabilization has occurred
    across northeast FL, which could support some severe threat to the
    coast as the cluster continues eastward. However, given the
    localized and generally marginal nature of the threat, watch
    issuance remains unlikely.

    Areas affected...central and northern Mississippi and
    Alabama...parts of southern Tennessee

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely

    Valid 251512Z - 251745Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Ongoing storms from Mississippi into Alabama may
    consolidate into supercells through midday with developing tornado
    threat. A tornado watch is likely by early afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Ongoing activity over eastern MS and into AL has been
    elevated for much of the morning, but cells now extend southwest of
    the warm front which is situated from from northern MS into central
    AL. Radar trends show that cells within these areas have acquired
    rotation as they attempt to transition from elevated to surface
    based. This may happen over the next couple hours as temperatures
    warm into the 70s F with the warm front lifting north, maximizing
    effective SRH. Therefore, it is possible that these cells develop a
    tornado threat over the next few hours. 0-1 km SRH of 300-400 m2/s2
    along the warm front will favor strong tornadoes as the stronger
    instability develops into the warm advection zone.

    Areas affected...portions of western into central Texas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 021828Z - 022030Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to
    develop over the next couple of hours across western/central Texas.
    Hail and strong wind gusts may accompany this activity into the
    early evening.

    DISCUSSION...An outflow boundary from morning convection extends
    from near BPG to SJT to BBD early this afternoon. Strong heating in
    the vicinity of the boundary amid upper 50s to low 60s surface
    dewpoints is aiding in strong destabilization, with 2000-2500 J/kg
    MLCAPE noted in 18z mesoanalysis data. A couple of initial
    thunderstorms have developed along/just north of the boundary within
    the past hour or two before weakening. Additional, more robust
    development, has been noted recently over northern Sterling County
    with additional deepening CU noted further northwest to the north of
    Midland. While large-scale forcing will remain somewhat modest,
    additional diurnal development is expected in the vicinity of the
    surface boundary given weak low level convergence and strong
    instability. Steep midlevel lapse rates and sufficient shear should
    allow for a couple of organized cells capable of hail and strong
    gusts. Timing and convective coverage still remains somewhat
    uncertain and trends will be monitored for possible watch issuance
    over the next few hours.

    Areas affected...Northeast Nebraska and western Iowa

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 222041Z - 222245Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...A couple of strong to severe storms capable of mainly
    large hail and damaging winds possible this evening.

    DISCUSSION...Mid-level showers and occasional thunderstorms have
    been present across western Iowa for much of the day thus far. This
    activity is likely a manifestation of the mid-level moisture and
    steep lapse rates in a region of isentropic ascent. Therefore,
    if/when the MLCIN can erode across this region, surface based storm
    development is anticipated.

    A well developed cu field has been advancing eastward across
    Nebraska over the last few hours with its eastward extent closely
    following the -25 J/kg MLCIN contour from SPC mesoanalysis. Linear extrapolation and forecast MLCIN from the RAP would suggest this cu
    field may advance to near the NE/IA border between 21 and 22Z. This
    will be the most likely time for surface based storm development as
    a minimally capped low-level environment spreads beneath the plume
    of better mid-level moisture and isentropic ascent. The window of
    opportunity for storm based storm development is narrow, but the
    timing appears favorable and the HRRR also supports the idea of
    storms developing around 21Z in the region of Sioux City, IA.

    Any stronger storms which develop will likely be supercellular in
    nature given 50 to 55 kts of effective shear per OAX VWP. These
    storms will pose a threat for severe hail and damaging winds. Any
    storms which develop are only expected to last a few hours before
    boundary layer cooling and subsequent increasing inhibition will
    likely bring and end to strong storms. While storm intensity is
    expected to be sufficient for a severe thunderstorm watch, storm
    coverage and longevity may be too limited.

    Areas affected...Far northwest Nevada into southeast Oregon

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 222137Z - 222330Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated thunderstorms may pose a damaging wind and hail
    threat late this afternoon and into the evening hours. The threat
    will remain isolated enough to preclude the need for a watch.

    DISCUSSION...GLM data has shown several scattered lightning strikes
    across east/southeast OR over the past hour associated with
    weak/transient convection. More recently, a slight uptick in
    lightning activity and deeper convective towers within a band of
    agitated cumulus located along a trough axis are noted from
    northwest NV into far southeast OR. Recent mesoanalysis estimates
    show upwards of 1000-1500 J/kg MUCAPE over the region as well as
    40-50 knots of effective bulk shear. This environment is supportive
    of storm organization if a cell can be sustained and gradually
    mature. In general, coverage of any strong to severe storms is
    expected to be limited given the weak forcing for ascent, and
    convection should lose intensity later this evening with the loss of
    daytime heating. As such, a watch is not expected.

    Montana

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 241911Z - 242115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A few strong to severe storms possible through the
    evening.

    DISCUSSION...The boundary layer has destabilized in a region
    extending from near Glacier National Park southeastward to near
    Great Falls. A few stronger updrafts have started to show more
    lightning within the past 30 minutes. Expect storm coverage to
    increase as the compact mid-level shortwave trough drops south out
    of Canada. In addition, as the boundary layer continues to warm,
    expect MLCAPE to increase to around 1000 J/kg. The KTFX VWP shows
    around 30 knots of effective shear. This shear combined with the
    weak to moderate instability, should be sufficient for organized
    updrafts, with some weak supercells possible. Isolated severe hail
    and a severe wind gust or two will be possible. Relatively weak
    instability, less than 30 knots of flow in the lowest 6km, and
    limited coverage of strong to severe storms will likely preclude the
    need for a severe thunderstorm watch.
