The warm sector east of the cold front today will be characterized by very high wind shear but marginal instability due to modified lapse rates and cloud cover.  It appears that a vast majority of the convection today will be disorganized and "junky" in nature, but the extreme low-level shear values could result in a few significant tornadoes over the Piney Woods of Texas into the jungles of Louisiana.  More will be posted about this event as it unfolds, as well as pictures from the beautiful supercell from yesterday intercepted near sunset west of Coleman, TX.
