Update on Severe Threat

The Storm Prediction Severe has a small area over the corners of Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi at a moderate risk for severe storms on Friday.

For southeast Texas, new storms are approaching from the southwest (but they are also weakening)...most active areas will be Matagorda and Brazoria Counties this evening.

A few more storms could pop during the 1st half of the day on Friday. But greatest risk will be to the east of southeast Texas.

Update on Tornado/Severe Threat

Storms in central TX as of 5 pm this Friday evening are prompting Tornado Warnings. The northern half of southeast TX is now under a Tornado Watch until 8 am this Wed. evening. The watch means conditions are favorable for storms which produce tornadoes. The southern half is not included in the watch because the warm frontal boundary has moved to the north of Houston.

Another round of severe weather is likely on Thursday (mainly afternoon into early evening). This one has the potential to have more widespread and more southern impacts.

I'll update as necessary.

Warning! Tornadoes a Threat Today (Wed. 3/25)

Hello everyone -
Just a quick update...2 things I want to bring to your attention.
1. It looks more likely now that supercell storms could form (which could produce tornadoes) particularly this afternoon. The Storm Prediction Center is considering upgrading our threat to a moderate one (moderate is more serious than a slight risk).
2. There will be another round of severe storms on Thursday (and possibly Friday).

I'll try to update later today.
If a tornado threatens, move to an interior room or closet on the 1st floor away from glass doors and windows.
