There severe and tornado risk begins to ramp up moving into the first two weeks of March! A few to several chances for severe weather is possible across central parts of the country. The finer details and specifics will be ironed out over the coming days. There's no need to panic, but go ahead and begin going over your severe weather plan - if you don't need it during the first-half of March, you'll most likely need it at some point this spring severe weather season

WE ARE JUST DAYS AWAY FROM THE BEGINNING OF TORNADO SEASON🌪️

Meteorological begins in a week! And with that, so does “Tornado Season". We begin to see an uptick in tornadic activity historically across the Lower Midwest and across the Mid-South as we move into the Month of March. We also see an increase for the risk of Large Scale Tornado Outbreaks across the infamous Dixie Alley

What you see below is the Historical Average of where we see tornadoes develop during the month of March. This doesn’t mean tornadoes are guaranteed to happen, but where we typically see them regionally.

Crunch time!

Circled a couple “inflow notches” where unstable air is feeding into the line as it approaches, and some gusts bulge out ahead. In some cases, this can be an indication of rotation or just some areas of enhanced wind gusts.

IF we see any severe weather, these are the spots we’ll find it. Once the main line passes you, severe threat dwindles.

Areas affected...Parts of east TX into western LA

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

Valid 142005Z - 142230Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

SUMMARY...The severe threat is expected to gradually increase
through the afternoon. Watch issuance may eventually be needed,
though timing is uncertain.

DISCUSSION...A loosely organized QLCS has developed across parts of
north-central TX early this afternoon, with occasional weak
low-level rotation noted along the leading edge of the line. Weak
buoyancy and poor low-level lapse rates have likely limited the
severe threat thus far across north TX, while a persistent capping
inversion (noted on the 18Z CRP/LCH soundings and a special College
Station sounding) has inhibited development of deep convection
farther south into central TX. However, increasing ascent associated
with an approaching mid/upper shortwave trough and filtered diurnal
heating are expected to weaken the cap and gradually increase
warm-sector buoyancy with time. An increase in storm coverage and
organization is still expected by late afternoon along the composite
outflow/cold front, as convection approaches east TX.

Area VWPs generally depict gradually strengthening low-level flow
and enlarging hodographs, and this trend is expected to continue as
low-level mass response increases and a surface low begins to
consolidate and deepen near the ArkLaTex by late afternoon/early
evening. The strengthening ascent and effective SRH may result in
development of a more organized QLCS across parts of east/southeast
TX by late afternoon. While questions remain regarding the impact of
poor low-level lapse rates (as noted on the 18Z SHV sounding) on the
north and east extent of the severe threat, gradually increasing
damaging-wind and line-embedded tornado potential may necessitate
watch issuance by mid to late afternoon.

BREAKING: One supercell, two tornadoes. The National Weather Service confirms two EF-0 tornadoes touched down on either side of the East Fork San Jacinto River just north of Plum Grove in Liberty County yesterday. Drone footage showed no damage in between the two segments depicted here. Thankfully no one was hurt in yesterday's storms.

Today’s storms north of Houston have been producing some very scary tornado lookalikes! This wall cloud was spotted around 4:30PM from Klein/Spring looking north toward HWY 99 and The Woodlands, but there was very little rotation to it. Thank God!

..WINTER STORM WARNING IS CANCELLED...

Precipitation has ended across the area but icy spots on roadways
continue, especially bridges and overpasses. Check road conditions
before traveling. Any remaining moisture on roadways will likely
freeze tonight and result in additional icy spots.
