Areas affected...southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana
Concerning...Tornado Watch 513...
Valid 081253Z - 081500Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 513 continues.
SUMMARY...The tornado threat with Beryl continues today.
DISCUSSION...Currently the primary tornado threat is associated with
a few bands of supercells across southeast Texas. Some guidance
indicates more cellular convection across southwest Louisiana and
eastern Texas by later this morning which could pose some tornado
threat given the wind profile shown by the LCH VWP. Therefore, when
tornado watch 513 expires at 15Z, a new watch may be needed which
may also need to be expanded farther inland to cover this threat as
it develops northward through the day.
