Areas affected...East TX...Northern/Central LA
Concerning...Tornado Watch 582...583...
Valid 132151Z - 132315Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 582, 583 continues.
SUMMARY...Threat for discrete supercells capable of all severe
hazards, including tornadoes, continues.
DISCUSSION...Discrete supercells continue to develop within the warm
sector over east TX and western LA. These storms have remained
relatively shallow, but have still shown strong low-level rotation.
This overall trend is expected to continue as discrete development
continues ahead of the cold front. Recent SHV VAD data continues to
show robust wind fields, with 0-1 km storm-relative helicity around
470 m2/s2 and 0-1 km shear near 50 kt. These strong winds will
continue throughout the evening, leading to a persistence of the
tornado threat. Additionally, the number of discrete storms is
expected to gradually increase, resulting in an overall increase in
the tornado potential.
