MD 0525 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 142... FOR NORTHEAST TEXAS INTO NORTHWEST LOUISIANA Mesoscale Discussion 0525 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1129 PM CDT Fri Apr 24 2026 Areas affected...northeast Texas into northwest Louisiana Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 142... Valid 250429Z - 250630Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 142 continues. SUMMARY...Scattered wind or hail damage remains possible over northeast Texas into northwest Louisiana. DISCUSSION...A cluster of storms with supercell characteristics at times continues to move slowly southeast across northeast TX. Western portions of this complex have slowed, with back building evident along with large hail. This line of storms extends into northern LA and southern AR, where much of it appears elevated above cool surface temperatures in the 60s F. Within the cooler air mass, wind gusts have generally been below 30 kt. The greatest wind and hail threat remains south of these outflows, and perhaps near where they intersect with the storm complex into northeast TX. Here, the moist and unstable air mass along with southwest boundary layer winds will continue to support a forward propagation in a southeastward direction. ..Jewell.. 04/25/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
