Mesoscale Discussion 0756 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1049 AM CDT Sun May 12 2024 Areas affected...Portions of East Texas and Upper Texas Gulf Coast Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 232... Valid 121549Z - 121745Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 232 continues. SUMMARY...Large hail up to 2 inches remains possible with the strongest storms in WW 232. Additional storms may develop south of the watch and would pose a greater tornado threat as they are near the surface warm front. DISCUSSION...The potential for large hail will continue in WW 232, particularly in northern portions of the watch where two ongoing supercell structures exist. The storm currently north of College Station has produced 2 inch hail in the last 90 minutes. As the warm front continues to lift slowly northward, convection has begun to develop near Houston. This convection has so far remained weak, but has shown some marginal supercell characteristics in the last 30 minutes. There is some potential for these storms to mature, though timing remains uncertain. Given their proximity to the warm front, they have a greater probability to be or soon be surface based. That said, tornado potential would be greater than storms farther north. Convective trends will need to be monitored in the next few hours. Either local expansion of WW 232 or perhaps a new watch may become necessary depending on convective evolution and the primary expected hazard. ..Wendt.. 05/12/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
