Some of the richest gulf moisture of the year is making it's way northbound into Texas, and the result is convective thunderstorm development. It is some of the first severe weather in the area for 2010. Dewpoints in the upper 50's are creating just enough CAPE (Convective Available Potential Energy) to trigger convection with the help of an upper level low centered over NE New Mexico. The Storm Prediction Center has recently issued a severe thunderstorm watch and we have already seen a severe warned storm to the NW of the DFW metroplex. This is the beginning of what is anticipated to be a very active season!
