What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The watch it was issued in

AVIATION...
MCS MOVING ACROSS SOUTHEAST TEXAS AND ACROSS THE SABINE BASIN INTO
WESTERN LOUISIANA AT AROUND 45 KNOTS. THIS SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE
WINDS BETWEEN 35 AND 50 KNOTS AT TAF SITES. TIMING OF THIS FEATURE
THROUGH INTERPOLATION IS NOTED WITH TEMPO GROUPS IN THE TAFS.

ONGOING FORECAST GENERALLY THE SAME...EXCEPT MOVED UP ARRIVAL OF
TSRA FOR THE ABOVE REASONS.

DML

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 255 AM CDT WED APR 27 2016/

DISCUSSION...
WX MAP SHOWS HIGH PRESSURE TO THE EAST WITH LOW PRESSURE ACROSS
THE PLAINS...KEEPING THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ELEVATED WITH A SE FLOW
CONTINUING. WITH THE ELEVATED WINDS...TEMPS IN THE MID 70S
CONTINUE AREAWIDE...WITH DEWPTS IN THE LOWER 70S. SHV & LCH RADAR
SHOWING SEMI-BROKEN SQUALL LINE OVER NE TX JUST ENTERING EXTREME
NW LA APPROACHING SHV...WITH THE ENTIRE LINE MOVING SE AT 30 TO
35 MPH. THE LINE HAS WEAKENED A BIT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF

FOR THIS MORNING...MCS WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD SE ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF SE TX...APPROACHING THE SABINE RIVER JUST AFTER

THE PRIMARY WX THREAT.

NOT EXPECTING TO REALLY CLEAR OUT AS THE FRONTAL SYSTEM WASHES OUT

PERTUBATIONS IN THE SW FLOW KEEP THESE CHANCES OVER THE REGION.
EXPECTING ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT BUT SLOWER STORM SYSTEM TO MOVE OVER
THE MIDWEST OVER THE WEEKEND...BRINGING INCREASED POPS LATE FRI

MARINE...
THE COMBINATION OF HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE ATLANTIC OFF
THE CAROLINA COAST AND A SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS
DEVELOPING OVER THE PLAINS STATES WILL MAINTAIN AN ONSHORE FLOW
OVER THE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE PASSAGE OF
SEVERAL UPPER-LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL BRING A DAILY CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
