8:45 PM Severe Weather Update

10 May 2012 David Reimer 0 Comments

Here is the latest severe weather outlook issued for the evening/overnight hours from the Storm Prediction Center. The standard severe weather risk is defined by the yellow color with the enhanced zone defined by the red. There is a low severe weather threat in the brown shaded zone.

Brown Shaded Zone: Low severe weather chance (5% chance of severe weather occurring within 25 miles of your location tonight.)

Yellow Shaded Zone: Standard severe weather chance (15% chance of severe weather occurring within 25 miles of your location tonight.)

Red Shaded Zone: Elevated severe weather chance (30% chance of severe weather occurring within 25 miles of your location tonight.) This is where the highest tornado potential is also located.

A Tornado Watch has been posted for much of South Central Texas until 3 AM. The highest tornado threat should remain along and south of Interstate 10, but severe weather is possible across all of the watch.

In addition, a Flash Flood Watch is in effect for much of the Texas Hill Country and South Texas. It is my belief that flooding will become the biggest issue overnight. We’ll post updates as warranted on our Facebook and Twitter pages, along with our blog.

At the time of this posting, several tornadic supercells were in progress in Deep South Texas. Multiple brief tornadoes have been confirmed at this time, but damage surveys will be conducted after the event to confirm the exact number and magnitude of tornadoes. This event is on-going and will continue through the afternoon and evening hours.

Rain Event anticipated for much of Texas beginning Tomorrow!

This is the latest five day rainfall accumulation forecast released moments ago by the Hydrometerlogical Prediction Center. This graphic shows anticipated rain totals from 7 PM this evening through 7 PM on Monday. Notice how much of the state, with the sad exception of the Texas Panhandle, looks to receive at least half an inch of rain over the coming days. The heaviest rain totals are expected to be located from the Texas Hill Country and points south and east. In fact, we may be dealing with flash flooding in some areas by the weekend as tributaries become filled. We’ll keep an eye on that possibility, but overall it looks like we’re in for a multi-inch rain event!
