An active stretch of severe weather is on tap for the southern US beginning tomorrow (Monday, April 8) through Thursday (April 11) as a strong trough makes its way across the region, acting upon rich Gulf moisture. The SPC has outlined an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) within a broader Slight Risk (level 2/5) for tomorrow across southern Oklahoma and much of Texas. Severe storms with an all-hazards threat are expected along and south of a warm front draped across the Red River region tomorrow afternoon, while a separate area of supercells is expected closer to the dryline across northwest Texas, where very large hail and damaging winds will be the main threats.
A similar area will be under the gun Tuesday, as the SPC has outlined a large Slight Risk (level 2/5) from west-central Texas into Louisiana. Large hail and damaging winds are possible with storms along the dryline, while any storms that form to the east in the open warm sector will yield a tornado threat, although convection is expected to be messy. The threat shifts east into the Southeast on Wednesday and Thursday, but model discrepancy prevents any judgments on specifics at this time.
The much-anticipated total solar eclipse is also on tap tomorrow (Monday, April 8) across parts of the US. We'll dive into some updates on the forecast for cloud cover along the totality path and which areas are likely to see good viewing conditions tomorrow afternoon.
