Serious Tornado Risk This Afternoon and This Evening

I'm very concerned about violent tornadoes in the outlined area. I believe supercell thunderstorms will develop during the early afternoon and move toward the eastern part of the outline by evening.

Now is a good time to prepare. Make sure you have at least two sources for receiving a warning in addition to sirens and television (you can lose power before television can get the warning to you).
Please test your weather radio. Set up a "tornado alarm." The tornado alarm will alert you wherever you are and will minimize the false alarms.

In addition, a tornado watch has been issued for south Texas and west central Louisiana.

Note there is a "moderate" chance of strong tornadoes. This does include the northern suburbs of Houston.
