MD 0628 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 198… FOR PARTS OF EAST TEXAS


Mesoscale Discussion 0628
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0719 PM CDT Wed Apr 30 2025

Areas affected...Parts of east Texas

Concerning...Tornado Watch 198...

Valid 010019Z - 010145Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 198 continues.

SUMMARY...Risk of severe hail persists across parts of east Texas --
within WW198.

DISCUSSION...Semi-discrete storms have been confined to the north of
an outflow-reinforced cold front across east TX -- where steep
midlevel lapse rates/ample elevated instability and 50 kt of
effective shear is favoring a severe hail risk. Over the next few
hours, the front may move slowly southward, though it is unclear if
storms will become surface-based. Nevertheless, a severe hail risk
should persist for another couple hours, and either an extension of
the current watch or an additional watch (Severe Thunderstorm) would
be warranted.
