Mesoscale Discussion 1593 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0358 PM CDT Mon Aug 28 2017 Areas affected...Coastal LA and southeast TX Concerning...Tornado Watch 474... Valid 282058Z - 282230Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 474 continues. SUMMARY...The severe threat is expected to remain isolated, but a brief tornado cannot be ruled out. DISCUSSION...Substantial rain and storms have produced outflow and reinforced the front across much of the area with surface winds mainly out of the northeast. East to southeasterly winds do exist south of the main boundary, which currently exists near the coast. A line of storms extends from southwestern LA southward, with some cellular structures within. As these cells continue to train northward, they will encounter the surface front and may acquire rotation briefly with effective SRH on the order of 200 M2/s2. Farther west, storms over southeast TX are moving cyclonically northwestward around TC Harvey. Some of these cells may also contain a threat briefly as they cross the aforementioned boundary. ..Jewell.. 08/28/2017 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
