WW 196 SEVERE TSTM TX 101835Z - 110200Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 196
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
135 PM CDT Sun May 10 2026
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
West, Central, and North-Central Texas
* Effective this Sunday afternoon and evening from 135 PM until
900 PM CDT.
* Primary threats include...
Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts
to 80 mph possible
Scattered large hail likely with isolated very large hail events
to 2.5 inches in diameter possible
A tornado or two possible
SUMMARY...Supercells should initially develop this afternoon and
pose a threat for mainly large to very large hail up to 1.5-2.5
inches in diameter. A tornado or two may also occur with any
supercell that can anchor along/near a southward-moving front.
Otherwise, the threat for scattered to numerous severe/damaging
winds is expected to increase through the afternoon and evening as
thunderstorms grow upscale into an intense bowing cluster. Peak
gusts may reach up to 70-80 mph on an isolated basis.
The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 85
statute miles north and south of a line from 50 miles south
southwest of Big Spring TX to 40 miles east of Stephenville TX. For
a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU6).
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
tornadoes.
&&
AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to
2.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 70 knots. A
few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector
30030.

Valid 110100Z - 111200Z
...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING
INTO TONIGHT IN CENTRAL TEXAS...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered large hail (some 2+ inches) and numerous severe/damaging
wind gusts (isolated 75+ mph) are expected this evening across parts
of central Texas.
...Central Texas to the Texas Coast and deep South Texas...
As of 00:15z, volumetric radar data indicated an HP supercell
gradually evolving into a larger-scale bowing complex over
McCulloch, San Saba, and Mason counties with a separate supercell
complex over Coryell county, which recently produced hail up to four
inches in diameter. Surface observations and objective analysis
indicate the presence of a warm and moist inflow air mass with
estimated MLCAPE of 2000-3000 J/kg. While deep-layer shear isn't
particularly strong, the observed supercell structures indicate
sufficient shear exists to support organized storm modes given the
degree of instability.
Current thinking is that the separate thunderstorm regimes mentioned
above will eventually merge along a common cold pool, with a
broader-scale MCS accelerating south-southeast through the remainder
of central TX this evening. Corridors of damaging winds in excess of
75 mph appear likely within the core of the bowing complex. The very
large hail (> 2") threat is expected to persist for the next hour or
two with the dominant supercell structures. Hail sizes should
diminish with time as convection transitions to more of an outflow
dominant system.
The wind damage threat is expected to become more isolated late
tonight as the convective system approaches the TX Coast and deep
South Texas owing to gradual cooling and stabilization of the
boundary layer.

MD 0698 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PARTS OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND VICINITY
Mesoscale Discussion 0698
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0535 PM CDT Sun May 10 2026
Areas affected...Parts of the lower Mississippi Valley and vicinity
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 102235Z - 110000Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Sporadic severe hail and locally damaging wind gusts will
remain possible with the stronger storms for the next couple hours
or so.
DISCUSSION...Widely spaced, loosely organized thunderstorms continue
to evolve within a zone of broadly confluent low-level flow on the
far eastern periphery of a remnant outflow boundary extending into
the lower MS Valley. Earlier diurnal heating of a moist air mass and
relatively steep midlevel lapse rates (sampled by the 18Z SHV
sounding) have contributed to a moderately unstable air mass. While
low-level flow is weak, a belt of enhanced westerly midlevel flow is
contributing to around 35-40 kt of effective shear. The elongated
mid/upper-level hodograph and aforementioned buoyancy is supporting
briefly organized convective cells -- with an attendant risk of
sporadic severe hail and locally damaging wind gusts. However, given
a lack of focused forcing for ascent, the severe risk is expected to
remain transient and brief. Therefore, a watch is not expected,
though a localized severe risk may persist for another couple hours
before the boundary layer nocturnally cools/stabilizes.

MD 0699 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR SOUTHEAST TEXAS INTO SOUTHWESTERN LOUISIANA
Mesoscale Discussion 0699
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0601 PM CDT Sun May 10 2026
Areas affected...Southeast Texas into southwestern Louisiana
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 102301Z - 110030Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...A couple instances of large hail and locally severe wind
gusts will be possible for the next few hours.
DISCUSSION...The latest surface observations show a
west/east-oriented low-level confluence zone extending from
southeast TX into southwestern LA -- where a few thunderstorms are
attempting to strengthen. The earlier 18Z LCH sounding sampled steep
midlevel lapse rates atop a warm/moist PBL -- contributing to around
2500 J/kg MLCAPE. This buoyancy and an elongated mid/upper-level
hodograph/strong venting aloft -- evident by eastward expanding
anvils on visible satellite imagery -- will conditionally support a
couple organized storms including supercell structures. Any storms
that can mature/intensify will pose a risk of large hail and locally
severe wind gusts for the next few hours. However, current thinking
is that many of these storms will struggle to mature owing to
midlevel dry air entertainment and overall weak forcing for ascent.
A watch is not expected for this activity in the near term, though
severe storms to the northwest may eventually move into parts of
southeast TX tonight -- and this will be addressed as needed.

Mesoscale Discussion 0700
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0615 PM CDT Sun May 10 2026
Areas affected...much of central Texas
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 196...197...
Valid 102315Z - 110215Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 196, 197
continues.
SUMMARY...Severe storms moving into central Texas continue to
produce large hail and a few damaging gusts. A transition to
damaging wind threat is expected this evening.
DISCUSSION...Substantial storm clusters persist near the
southward-moving cold front, with very large hail reported in
Runnels County. Another large storm complex was located over
Hamilton County as of 23Z. The air mass remains very moist and
unstable, and will continue to favor southeastward propagation as
the cold front pushes south.
Deep-layer shear is generally near 35 kt and boundary-parallel, and
low-level southeasterly winds are not particularly strong. However,
merging storms and outflows may eventually support forward
acceleration across much of the remainder of the warm sector late
this evening and overnight, with attendant increase in
storm-relative inflow.
Portions of east-central into southeast TX may require a watch later
this evening, should the existing severe activity develop beyond the
eastern boundaries of watches 196/197.
