NOAA update on severe storm threat 4-1-10

Based on the latest model data, I agree with this latest NOAA update from this afternoon:

The risk for severe storms has decreased for Friday,

April 2, as the low pressure system will track further to
the north across north Texas and Oklahoma. However,
isolated severe storms are still possible across the northeast
portions of our area tomorrow afternoon through early evening.

The main threat area will be along and north of Texas 71,
from La Grange to Austin to Llano. The primary threat time
will be from noon to 6 pm. The main severe threat is
damaging winds, although large hail is possible. Tornadoes
and flash flooding are unlikely.

The primary impact will be rain and wind greatly slowing
afternoon rush hour in Metro Austin, and for activities
where strong winds would be a problem (examples:
outdoor tents, temporary signs/banners).

The gusty winds and low humidity behind the cold front will
make conditions near critical for the spread of wildfires. Those
planning burning in the Edwards Plateau and Rio Grande Plains
should take that into account.
