MESOSCALE UPDATE
 
 
ISSUED AT 945 PM CDT SUN MAR 30 2025  
 
IT DEFINITELY SEEMS THE LATER TIMING SOLUTIONS ARE PANNING OUT FOR  
ONSET AS TONIGHT'S EVENT CONTINUE TO TAKE SHAPE. THERE HAS ALSO  
BEEN AN APPRECIABLE RAMP UP IN SEVERE THREAT FOR LOCATIONS SOUTH  
OF I-20 PER LATEST GUIDANCE. SPC HAS ADJUSTED THEIR SEVERE WIND  
PROBS UP AND EXPANDED THEIR ENHANCED RISK AREA FARTHER SOUTH  
ACCORDINGLY. LOCAL CHANGES TO OUR GHWO GRAPHICS REFLECT THESE  
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS WITH THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA NOW IN THE  
ENHANCED RISK. OTHERWISE, HAVE MADE NO SIGNIFICANT ADJUSTMENTS TO  
THE FORECAST ELEMENTS. WHILE THE ONSET TIMING IS SLOW, EXPECT THAT  
WE'LL SEE THE END TIMES WORK OUT OKAY, OR EVEN BE TOO SLOW, WITH  
THE ORGANIZING CONVECTIVE SYTEM EXPECTED TO ACCELERATE DURING THE  
PREDAWN HOURS TO AROUND DAYBREAK. /EC/
