SE TX/SW LA weather: Much cooler and WET after Tuesday

[jasons2k]

Morning update from Jeff Lindner - maybe some rain finally?

Confidence increasing that area will get much needed rainfall over the next few days.

Upper ridge is shifting ever so slightly westward with time. Overnight MCS over NW TX has helped to erode the eastern side of the ridge this morning with next MCS over C OK moving S. Mid and upper level steering flow has become more northerly and as the ridge shifts westward SE TX will lie within the eastern “ring of fire”. Expect multiple disturbances to round the top of the ridge and fire off thunderstorm complexes over the southern plains and CO Rockies and then track SSE to S across E TX along the east edge of the NW Mexico high pressure ridge. This is a classic June set-up commonly referred to as northwesterly flow events.

First round will be possible this afternoon as outflow boundaries from current OK activity makes its way southward and reaches our area during peak heating. It will be possible that thunderstorms fire along this boundary and spread into our region or fire along the collision of the outflow and the seabreeze.

Next disturbance should fire off another MCS late this afternoon anywhere from SE CO to NE NM to NW OK and SE it will come tonight. Models are in fair agreement with this system affecting our area on Wednesday. Forecast soundings show drier low levels resulting in an inverted V profiles highly suggestive of downburst/microburst wind damage potential on Wednesday. Such NW flow patterns are usually highly favorable for lots on nocturnal activity from about 800pm until 800am with MCS complexes and then again during peak heating from about 300pm until 600pm.

Additional MCS complexes may affect the area Friday.

With fingers crossed wetting rains will be possible with each event with totals of 1-2 inches possible. Not sure very dry W and SW counties will see much rainfall as they are closer to the ridge and the complexes may ride more to their east…we shall see what surprises the mesoscale brings this go around.

The MCS just blew through here in Frisco and it was a doozy... I was picking my son up at soccer camp early because I knew it was going to be a wash out. Just guesstimating I would say we had 70 mph. sustained winds blow in with the initial gust front... It was CRAZY! We were moving kids to the bathrooms out at the Pizza Hut Park practice fields while outdoor chairs were flying by us! All the kids were soaked but safe.

I wish I had my camera with me, there were some great opportunities for pics...

Hope it makes it down south for some relief for you folks...

[jasons2k]

We could use the rain but do without the winds...hope all is OK up there...my parents are in Allen.

I remember when Pizza Hut Park was just some hay fields near Main Street...and many miles away from the "city"...

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 557
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1210 PM CDT TUE JUN 17 2008

THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ISSUED A
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF

PARTS OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN TEXAS

EFFECTIVE THIS TUESDAY AFTERNOON FROM 1210 PM UNTIL 500 PM CDT.

HAIL TO 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER...THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS TO 70
MPH...AND DANGEROUS LIGHTNING ARE POSSIBLE IN THESE AREAS.

THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH AREA IS APPROXIMATELY ALONG AND 80
STATUTE MILES EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 55 MILES NORTHWEST OF
TYLER TEXAS TO 40 MILES SOUTH OF LUFKIN TEXAS. FOR A COMPLETE
DEPICTION OF THE WATCH SEE THE ASSOCIATED WATCH OUTLINE UPDATE
(WOUS64 KWNS WOU7).

REMEMBER...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH MEANS CONDITIONS ARE
FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN AND CLOSE TO THE WATCH
AREA. PERSONS IN THESE AREAS SHOULD BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR
THREATENING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND LISTEN FOR LATER STATEMENTS
AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAN AND OCCASIONALLY
DO PRODUCE TORNADOES.

DISCUSSION...LONG LIVED FORWARD PROPAGATING MCS HAS INCREASED IN
INTENSITY AS IT ENCOUNTERS THE MORE UNSTABLE AIR MASS ACROSS TX.
DAMAGING WINDS ARE NOW EXPECTED TO BE ASSOCIATED THE LEADING EDGE OF
THE MCS AS IT CONTINUES SEWD.

AVIATION...A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH HAIL SURFACE AND ALOFT
TO 2 INCHES. EXTREME TURBULENCE AND SURFACE WIND GUSTS TO 60
KNOTS. A FEW CUMULONIMBI WITH MAXIMUM TOPS TO 550. MEAN STORM

CLUSTER OF STRONG TSRA BETWEEN KDAL AND KPRX PROGRESSING SOUTHEAST

OF OUR AREA IN THE 20-01Z TIME FRAME. THE MAIN UNCERTAINTY WILL BE
THE WESTERN EXTENT OF THE ACTIVITY. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT
KUTS-KCXO-KIAH WILL BE ON THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE STORMS. FOR NOW
HAVE PLACED JUST VCTS IN THESE TAFS DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY.
SEABREEZE WILL RESULT IN ISOLATED -SHRA DEVELOPMENT IN VICINITY OF
KHOU/KLBX THIS AFTN. SHOULD SFC OUTFLOW FROM THE NORTH AND SEABREEZE
MERGE LATER THIS AFTN IT COULD ENHANCE CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT NEAR
HOUSTON TERMINALS 22-01Z. MODELS INDICATE SOME ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT LATE TONIGHT/EARLY WEDNESDAY. FOR NOW HAVE PLACED VCSH

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 557
CONTINUES.

PARTS OF NWRN LA MAY NEED TO BE ADDED TO WW 557.

REGIONAL RADARS INDICATED N/NERN EXTENT OF LEADING EDGE OF TSTMS/
BOWING LINE HAS BEGUN TO TURN MORE EWD WITH A SPEED OF 25-30 KT.
AIR MASS DOWNSTREAM OVER NWRN/WRN LA IS MODERATELY UNSTABLE.
ALTHOUGH DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS WEAK...A STRONG COLD POOL COMBINED WITH
THE UNSTABLE AIR MASS SUGGEST THIS PART OF THE MCS WILL CONTINUE EWD
THIS AFTERNOON INTO NWRN LA...WITH LOCALLY STRONG TO DAMAGING WINDS
POSSIBLE.

THE SRN EXTENT OF THE LINE EXTENDING FROM LEON TO CHEROKEE COUNTIES
TX HAS DECREASED IN FORWARD SPEED...WHICH IS LIKELY THE RESULT OF
ADDITIONAL TSTM DEVELOPMENT AHEAD OF THE LINE...GENERALLY N OF
HARRIS TO NEWTON COUNTIES. AIR MASS IN THIS REGION OF TX REMAINS
MODERATELY UNSTABLE...BUT WEAKLY SHEARED...WHICH COULD SUPPORT
PULSE-TYPE STORMS WITH WET MICROBURSTS.

PM Update from Jeff Lindner:

Severe Thunderstorm Watch issued until 500pm for the NE part of SE TX.

Strong outflow boundary from OK MCS firing off numerous severe thunderstorms from Huntsville to Lake Livingston and southward to near Conroe. Soundings show a strong probability of wind damage from downburst and microburst this afternoon.

Given current radar images expect storms to reach into areas at least along and E of I-45 through 800pm this evening and they may reach even further west than that. Latest models show wetter period shaping up with several MCS complexes to affect the region. Maybe, just maybe, we can put a dent in the dryness. I am tempted to go higher on the rain chances Wed-Sun given what is happening on the radar and the latest projection of the ridge axis being more westward than expected earlier. However…we are in a drought and what looks promising currently can vanish quickly…a wait and see approach will likely work best…but I think some of us will get wet this afternoon/evening.

[jasons2k]

And the update from the NWS echoes much of the same, although I wouldn't call the outflow boundry "pesky" - more like a Godsend if you ask me...

SEEING SOME ACTIVITY ALONG THE SEABREEZE CLOSER TO THE COAST THUS
FAR THIS AFTN. A SEVERE TSTM WATCH ALREADY IN EFFECT FOR OUR NERN

AS FOR THE REST OF THE FCST...IT LOOKS LIKE MODELS ARE NOW TREND-
ING TOWARD THE WETTER SIDE OF THINGS AS IT PLACES THE UPPER RIDGE
AXIS A BIT MORE WEST AND GIVES US A RATHER PERSISTENT N/NWLY FLOW
ALOFT THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. THIS SYNOPTIC PATTERN TO BRING

AT SEEMINGLY REGULAR INTERVALS. WHILE NOT REALLY BUYING INTO THIS

FOR SE TX. HAVE GONE AHEAD AND BROAD-BRUSHED POPS FOR THE REST OF
THE WEEK (AND INTO THE WEEKEND) ALONG WITH A MORE AFTN/PEAK HEAT-

The watch doesn't reach here, but my weather alert went off a bit ago for a Severe Thunderstorm Warning in Jasper County. I have it set on my S.A.M.E. radio since my brother and his family live up there. No rain here (yet?).

I have never seen rain chances dance around so much from day to day as they have been lately. And so much rain when it's not predicted and then none or not much when it is predicted... not just from one source either. Everyone seems to be having a hard time with forecasts lately. It's almost like there's some evil little elves messing with the models before the forecasters enter the room.

When the outflow blew through here it was something else, but NOT A DROP

I thought the same thing happened here, watching the outflow go through on radar and thinking the shower just missed us, but a little thundershower formed right behind the outflow boudary here in unincorporated Harris County near Spring and Klein, in the 1960/Veterans Memorial area, and we're getting a good shower now, although the sun is back out. May have a rainbow soon.
