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. ...Gleason Read more

Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0730 PM CDT Sun May 10 2026 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. ..Mead.. 05/11/2026 Read more

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. ..Weinman/Guyer.. 05/10/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

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. ..Weinman/Guyer.. 05/10/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0700 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 196...197... FOR MUCH OF CENTRAL TEXAS
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. ..Jewell.. 05/10/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
