Hazardous Weather Forecast

HOUSTON, February 4, 2008 - TONIGHT AREAS OF SEA FOG WILL PERSIST... SOME DENSE... REDUCING VISIBILITY IN THE NEARSHORE GULF WATERS AND BAYS.

TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE MAINLY NORTH OF INTERSTATE 10 ON TUESDAY. PLENTY OF GULF MOISTURE WILL BE IN PLACE AS A DRY LINE APPROACHES SOUTHEAST TEXAS FROM THE WEST. STRONG LIFT WITH THE DRYLINE AND AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MAY ALLOW A FEW STRONG THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP MAINLY NORTH AND NORTHEAST OF A COLLEGE STATION TO CLEVELAND LINE. THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP IN THE MORNING AND MOVE THROUGH THE AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON ON TUESDAY.

SOME STORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE AND THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY FOR CROCKETT...TRINITY AND POLK COUNTIES TOMORROW. SOME OF THESE STORMS MAY BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HAIL AND DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS ALONG WITH LIGHTNING AND BRIEF HEAVY RAIN. A WARM LAYER OF AIR A FEW THOUSAND FEET ABOVE THE GROUND COULD PLAY A ROLE IN INHIBITING THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. THIS WILL MOST LIKELY BE THE CASE FARTHER SOUTH AND ALONG THE COAST OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS.
