    Mesoscale Discussion 2294

    Areas affected...parts of east TX to western LA

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

    Valid 281225Z - 281430Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Surface-based supercell potential is expected to rapidly
    increase in the late morning to midday. A tornado watch will likely
    be needed by 14-15Z.

    DISCUSSION...The east TX to western LA warm-moist sector
    characterized by 66-71 F surface dew points has roughly reached a
    TPL to 20 S CRS to IER line as of 12Z. Pervasive cloud coverage will
    slow diabatic surface heating after sunrise, but the rich moisture
    profile will only need a few degrees of warming to yield a marked
    increase in surface-based convection. This will be favorably timed
    with strengthening large-scale ascent and flow fields ahead of a
    pronounced shortwave trough near central TX. 06Z ECMWF and recent
    HRRR guidance suggest scattered to widespread warm-moist sector
    thunderstorms will occur by midday. A strengthening kinematic
    profile should foster several to numerous supercells. Tornado
    potential will become more favorable with eastern extent in TX to
    LA, as hodographs enlarge midday into the afternoon.
