An outbreak of severe weather began in eastern Texas on the morning of
13 April 2019, where thunderstorms produced hail up to 3.0 inches in diameter, tornadoes and damaging winds (
SPC storm reports). 1-minute
Mesoscale Domain Sector GOES-16 “Red” Visible (
0.64 µm) images
(above) showed the clusters of thunderstorms that developed as a surface low and associated frontal boundaries moved eastward (
surface analyses). The corresponding GOES-16 “Clean” Infrared Window (
10.3 µm) images
(below) revealed numerous overshooting tops with infrared brightness temperatures as cold as -70 to -75ºC. In addition, the storm producing 3.0-inch hail and damaging winds at 1428 UTC exhibited an
Above-Anvil Cirrus Plume (
Visible/Infrared toggle).

Later in the day, the thunderstorms continued to produce a variety of severe weather as they moved eastward across Louisiana and Mississippi, as shown by GOES-16 Visible and Infrared images
(below).

After sunset, the thunderstorms continued to move eastward, spreading more serve weather across Mississippi into Alabama and far southern Tennessee
(below).
