STORMS ARE DEVELOPING OVER SE TX AND MOVING NE AND INTO SRN LOUISIANA THIS EVE. THE REGION IS GETTING SQUEEZED BETWEEN A APPROACHING COLD FRONT TO THE NW AND A WARM-FRONT LIFTING OUT OF THE GULF.

THESE STORMS ARE STARTING TO GROW WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF HAIL AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING THE MAIN HAZARDS. ALSO...ALONG THE WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY...LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL TURN ALLOWING FOR AN INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL HELICITY VALUES...SO SOME ROTATING CELLS CAN NOT ALSO BE RULED OUT.
