The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

* Tornado Watch for portions of
Central and East/Southeast Texas

* Effective this Tuesday morning and afternoon from 815 AM until
400 PM CDT.

* Primary threats include...
A few tornadoes likely with a couple intense tornadoes possible
Scattered large hail likely with isolated very large hail events
to 3 inches in diameter possible
Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely

SUMMARY...Supercell thunderstorms are expected to develop near a
warm front across the region with other storms related to an
eastward-moving cluster of storms across central Texas early today.
Tornado potential is apparent, including the possibility of strong
tornadoes. Damaging winds and large hail are also expected.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Doesn't sound good. I hope most students aren't planning on going home today. Don't want to get caught in that.

Tons moved out yesterday. I actually saw very few cars getting loaded up today (but it is early).

Well, in my defense, I was just following the info on the damn apps.

Now, if you could talk to your management team and score me a good deal on your residency at The Sphere, I'd much appreciate that.

Mmkay? Thanks!

What? And be forced to stay in town for one more bender? The horror.

Strongly recommend the weather app RadarScope; way better, more detailed, and accurate then whatever KBTX is using.

Today's forecast may be a bust. Most of the severe is staying well north of the area unless more develops further south.

I don't think it will be a bust unless you expected 5" of rain today. That was predicted when we woke up, but the totals have eased up quite a bit.

Yeah I meant as far as the severe and totals go. Will definitely rain though.

There have already been a few confirmed tornadoes off of this storm. One hit around Jewett and stayed along hwy 79. We have been in and out of warnings at our house most of the morning.

Should make for a fun drive to Normangee tonight for the elementary music program.

Also have had torrential downpours and a TON of close lightning near us. It was pretty cool to watch one draw all the power out of our house before striking, and then everything turning back on (thank God for surge protectors)

Use your body weight to make sure the glass doesn't fall in.

This was the "light" or slacked-off portion of Friday's rounds of rain.

I meant my house. Not sure how the roads are but it's tapering off right now. If it keeps moving out,I think you should be okay by 5

A little over 3" here in The Oaks. Our street was a river for the last hour or so.

That thunderclap near Tower Point at 3:45 sounded like an explosion. The walls shook.

OK, it's passed. No more rain predicted for the next 10 days at least.
