snowlover2 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Been a while since i've been in any severe threat. Quote Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1125 AM CDT Sat Jun 03 2023 Valid 031630Z - 041200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY IN SOUTH TX... ...SUMMARY... A swath of severe wind gusts may occur between about 8 PM to Midnight CDT along a portion of the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Otherwise, isolated severe thunderstorms with wind and hail will be possible across parts of the south-central and northeastern states, mainly through this evening. ...Far eastern NM to south TX... An elongated, low-amplitude upper trough will stay anchored from the Great Basin to the southern High Plains through tonight. The attendant belt of moderate mid-level westerlies will largely remain confined across northern Mexico into Deep South TX. Several areas of isolated to scattered thunderstorm development are expected later this afternoon into the evening: 1) the higher terrain of northern Coahuila into perhaps the Big Bend, 2) a remnant outflow boundary over the Concho Valley, and 3) the far eastern NM/west TX border area from the Raton Mesa to the Permian Basin. Areas to the north of south TX will be in a more modest deep-layer shear environment with effective values around 20-30 kt. This should generally support weak and transient mid-level updraft rotation and multicell clustering. Owing to continued steep mid-level lapse rates, large hail and severe wind gusts will be possible with overall coverage expected to remain isolated. A relatively greater but largely conditional severe threat may occur over a portion of the Rio Grande Valley in south TX later this evening if supercell clusters over Coahuila can develop an adequate cold pool prior to the nocturnal increase in MLCIN. The 14Z HRRR is the most insistent of morning CAMs with its depiction of an MCS moving east of the international border. Guidance is fairly consistent that negative low-level theta-e advection will shift west from the northwest Gulf across Deep South TX tonight, likely yielding weakening of convection as it spreads farther east of the Rio Grande. ...Mid-Atlantic/Central Appalachians/Upper OH Valley... Isolated to scattered thunderstorms should develop along a west to southwest-moving cold front, with initial development expected in PA based on a swelling cu field already. A pocket of moderate buoyancy with MLCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg will similarly form just ahead of this portion of the front. Guidance suggests there may be a belt of somewhat greater north-northeasterly mid-level winds in the eastern PA vicinity. But the lack of a 12Z ALB observed sounding or VWP data high enough to sample this lowers overall confidence. CAM guidance does suggest that a couple of southwest-moving cells that initiate in this region may contain mid-level updraft rotation which could result in a meso-beta corridor of relatively greater hail and wind potential. Elsewhere, weaker deep-layer shear and buoyancy will serve to limit potential to locally strong gusts from sporadic microbursts amid steep low-level lapse rates and a relatively deep mixed boundary layer. ...Ark-La-Tex to south LA... Scattered to widespread thunderstorms are expected later this afternoon within a moderately buoyant and weakly sheared environment. The strongest storms will be capable of locally strong wind gusts. ..Grams/Thornton.. 06/03/2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElectricStorm Posted June 4, 2023 Author Share Posted June 4, 2023 Had a pretty good line of storms come through last night. Should have another chance for some pop ups tomorrow, with potentially more storm chances later this week or next weekend. June is off to a good start so far.

You can't catch a break lately. Canyon has hard it the worst lately… torch was passed from Hereford. Canyon is probably approaching or exceeding a foot of rain the past 30 days (probably most would be in the past 2-3 weeks) with some gnarly flooding. They just got 2 more inches of rain… actually measured by a mesonet site… yesterday. Now they have another flash flood warning. These thunderstorms have been capable of dumping 2-3+ inches in an hour and they really aren’t moving. Only hope you have is that they’ll rain themselves out quickly.
