Thunderstorms will be possible today ahead of an area of low pressure across portions of Virginia and North Carolina. Below is an outline of the area of concern.

The main upper level trough over the Appalachians and the attendant cold front will continue to progress eastward through the day. As it does, thunderstorms will likely develop where temperatures are in the upper 60s and dewpoints are in the lower 60s. The main threats with any storms that do develop will be damaging winds and tornadoes. As the upper level trough approaches, shear will begin to increase. This, combined with the low level convergence, will help to enhance the tornado potential. Hail is not expected with these storms.

Thunderstorms will continue today for much of the Southeast. Below is a look at the risk area.

Thunderstorms will develop ahead of a cold front associated with the area of low pressure currently situated over the Lower Mississippi River Valley today. With these storms, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes will be the main threats. There is a potential for some small hail across northern portions of Mississippi north of the warm front.

After today, the thunderstorm chances will be confined along the coasts of the Carolinas and Georgia. No severe weather is anticipated for the weekend.

Tornado Watches are in effect for portions of Texas and Louisiana. Below is a look at the current watches.

The first tornado watch in effect for portions of Central and Eastern Texas is in effect until 11am. The other watch for portions of SE Texas, as well as southern and western portions of Louisiana is in effect until 3pm. Damaging winds and tornadoes will be the main threats, but some small hail will also be possible. The low level jet in place across the region is enhancing shear and moisture, creating an environment favorable for tornadoes.

Severe thunderstorms will be possible today for portions of Southern Texas today. Below is an outline of the threat.

This area of thunderstorms will be in advance of an upper level trough over the Southern Rockies. This trough will progress eastward through the day and contribute to further destabilization. Any storms that develop will have the potential to become supercellular with large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. As the main upper level trough continues to progress eastward, portions of Eastern Texas and Western Louisiana will see some thunderstorms overnight tonight/early tomorrow morning. By that time, the thunderstorms will likely evolve into a squall line.
