Areas affected...portions of east-central into southeast Texas
Concerning...Tornado Watch 638...
Valid 241907Z - 242030Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 638 continues.
SUMMARY...A few tornadoes remain possible with ongoing storms across
east-central into southeastern Texas.
DISCUSSION...Supercell structures have percolated in intensity along
a confluence band within the free warm sector, ahead of a surface
cold front. Ahead of the storms, surface temperatures have warmed
well into the 70s F (near 80 F in the Houston area), with dewpoints
in the upper 60s to low 70s F noted. However, regional VADs have
shown relatively short hodographs with modest curvature, which may
be limiting tornado potential up to this point. Nonetheless, an
uptick in tornado development may occur over the next couple of
hours. A particular region of concern would be over the northern
Houston metropolitan area, where regional/terminal radar data shows
the intensification of a supercell amid a moderately unstable
airmass, with a 30+ kt rotational velocity noted with the 1903Z 0.5
degree KHGX velocity scan.
