March 31st Severe Weather Potential

We apologize for the late timing on this but we are in the process of moving our headquarters..However we did not want to go without issuing an outlook. The front you see draped across the southeast it will be to the south side of this front where we will have iur severe weather chances occur today.

Radar shows at the present time we have one severe cell that is in Oklahoma.. This piece of energy is moving East Southeast so that means that the rains and storms will also be moving east southeast . The warm front will start to lift northwards introducing the chance of rain further North while a cold front works its way southeast (energy represented on radar associated with that cold front)..it will be this front that will serve as the focus for severe weather..South of the warm front ... in advance of the cold front..

The main threats with this system look to be heavy rain with any of the severe cells, damaging winds and large hail. 
The rest of the overnight period until 12 Z we could continue to see some more severe in OK as this was one of the regions highlighted yesterday with the better parameters..

Because the cold front will be crossing between 6 Z and 12 Z we are not expecting any severe into North Central TX in the remaining overnight hours though they can expect some rainfall and non severe storms. The cold front will then be thru that region and most action should take place in southern TX to Dallas and then Eastward along the Gulf coast!
