Strong Storms Possible in North Texas Tomorrow

I am projecting a 'Moderate' risk of thunderstorms across western Oklahoma and northern Texas, with spotty patches of 'Elevated' thunderstorm risk in northern Texas.

The risk of storms should come as moisture and air masses clash along converging winds. While there are little upper level winds to support a major tornadic threat, I am monitoring some gusty surface winds that may provoke some strong storms. Instability will be able to support some storms that may be on the intense side.

Mesoscale Moderate Risk Issued for Tornadoes in Mid Atlantic

Today is a Storm Action Day

The Storm Prediction Center did issue a mesoscale (small area) moderate risk of severe weather for a portion of the Mid Atlantic area today. This was the result of an increased tornado threat.

There are pockets of shearing among strong instability values in the Mid Atlantic, leading to an increased tornado risk with storms that have formed and are forming. Currently, they are individual cells, but they do appear to be bonding, which would essentially cut out a big component of the supercell potential with this severe weather event.

I want to say i'm sorry about not posting yesterday- I was pretty busy, and will be tonight. I am trying hard to nail down things that I will issue on a daily basis (example: Chase Spot, storm outlook, etc.), and that should be implemented tomorrow.

Our Facebook Page is always on alert, 24/7, tracking severe weather where and when it strikes, at http://www.facebook.com/TheWeatherCentre
