Administrators NorthGeorgiaWX Posted January 8 Administrators Share Posted January 8 MD 0021 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 1... FOR SOUTHWEST LA AND SOUTHEAST TX Mesoscale Discussion 0021 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0521 PM CST Mon Jan 08 2024 Areas affected...southwest LA and southeast TX Concerning...Tornado Watch 1... Valid 082321Z - 090015Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 1 continues. SUMMARY...Ongoing storms will continue to pose a risk for damaging gusts, and hail this evening. Isolated tornadoes will remain possible near the warm front. DISCUSSION...As of 2315 UTC a band of thunderstorms was ongoing across southeast TX into western LA along a surging cold front. Ahead of the front, a supercell on the TX/LA border is quickly approaching the northern end of the warm sector. A brief uptick in intensity is possible as the storm approaches the warm front. However, the narrow warm sector and the encroaching cold front may result in gradual elevation above the surface with time. Still a brief tornado, wind and hail risk may evolve with the storm over the next hour. Farther southwest recent lightning trends show the undercutting front has surged ahead of the convection limiting updraft strength. While storms have been slow to mature, an increase in the nocturnal low-level jet may support a slow uptick in storm coverage and intensity later this evening. Veered low-level flow would support a broken/linear band of storms with eventual upscale growth into a more organized QLCS possible with time. Damaging wind gusts and embedded circulations capable of tornadoes appear possible across the remainder of WW1. ..Lyons.. 01/08/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
