WHARTON-
759 AM CDT WED MAR 30 2016
THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS.
.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT
ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS
PARTS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS TODAY...MOST LIKELY NORTH OF A LINE FROM
COLLEGE STATION TO HUNTSVILLE TO LIVINGSTON.
THE APPROACH OF A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT FROM THE NORTH AND A
STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE FROM THE WEST WILL HELP FOCUS THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED STORMS LATER THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER
THERE ARE CONCERNS THAT MUCH WARMER TEMPERATURES AT THE MID LEVELS
OF THE ATMOSPHERE COULD INHIBIT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE STORMS.
CLOSER TO THE COAST...PERIODS OF SEA FOG MAY PERIODICALLY REDUCE
VISIBILITIES THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION MIGHT BE NEEDED THIS AFTERNOON.
