Part 3/8:
On Wednesday, meteorological signs indicate a heightened potential for severe thunderstorms particularly in Texas, where conditions are expected to deteriorate further by Thursday. The mechanics at play suggest strong wind shear, which raises concerns about tornado activity as the storms progress into Eastern Texas and eventually spill over into Louisiana. Although there is a general lack of convective energy—characteristic of the severe weather typically seen in spring and summer—the existing wind shear suggests that isolated tornadoes could still develop.
