Severe Weather?
Well, the weather system we have been watching take shape the last few days is now in full force over the TX/OK/CO area. This vigourous weather-maker has brought blizzards to Colorado and tornadoes to the southeastern portion of Texas. As of right now, there have been 15 confirmed tornadoes along with several reports of golf-ball sized hail.Obviously this system is not one to disregard, but for our area tomorrow the severe threat seems to look minimal at this point. There WILL be very gusty winds, possibly gusts of 30-35 mph and also very heavy rainfall. I do expect the NWS to issue Flash Flood Watches for our area as we go through the day tomorrow.
As far as the threat for damaging tornadoes.....personally I do not see a tornado outbreak for our area like we saw today in Texas. Instability is going to be much lower across the South tomorrow, primarily because there should be a fair amount of clouds throughout the day. Although, i can't completley rule out anything given what we have seen today. There is definately good directional shear in all levels of the atmosphere (good turning of the winds with height).
The main threat will be very gusty winds and very heavy rainfall. So, please take care on the roads if you are traveling this weekend for the New Year!!
