SPC has placed most of southeast Texas under an enhanced risk (Level 3 of 5) for severe weather today and a slight risk (Level 2 of 5) exists for excessive rainfall. The severe threat begins to unfold by around 10 AM thanks to daytime heating and, at the same time, the models show an area of PVA (lifting) moving into our area ahead of the approaching cold front. As PVA increases and both instability and atmospheric shear increase, thunderstorm activity will slowly trend upward. By about 1 or so the cold front should begin to push into southeast Texas and thunderstorm activity should increase even more and is likely to remain with us until close to or after dark. Thanks to the cold front, however, Saturday's weather should be much quieter. Some of today's storms will be training, which enhances the chance of flash flooding. In terms of severe potential, all risks are on the table including damaging winds, large hail, and the possibility of a few isolated tornadoes. The SPC Day-1 outlook graphic is attached.

Dwayne Walters has some free firewood! He lost the top 30 ft. of a red oak tree in last night's storm. He can help by cutting to the desired length but has no way to split the wood. 979-676-8518 give him a text if you want to lay claim!
