1217 PM CDT Wed Apr 30 2025

Areas affected...portions of central and eastern TX into northwest
LA

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

Valid 301717Z - 301915Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorm potential is increasing across
portions of central and eastern Texas early this afternoon.
Convective initiation expected in the next 1-2 hours with all severe
hazards possible.

DISCUSSION...Deepening cumulus is noted across the discussion area
to the southeast of a slowly southeastward progressing line/MCS
across North TX. Scattered cloudiness has allowed for stronger
heating, with temperatures in the upper 70s/low 80s F at midday. A
very moist airmass with dewpoints in the upper 60s/low 70s F resides
beneath a plume of steep midlevel lapse rates, resulting in MLCAPE
increasing to around 1500-2500 J/kg. This should support robust
updrafts. Supercell vertical wind profiles and effective shear
values greater than 35 kt will support organized convection capable
of all severe hazards, including a few tornadoes (a couple of which
could be strong), damaging gusts, and isolated hail. Supercells are
expected ahead of the oozing line of convection through the
afternoon. With time, linear convection may also intensify and surge
east. A tornado watch will likely be needed within the next hour or
so for parts of the discussion area.
