Ed Lizard Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Cell into Parker County clearly has rotation as seen from free NWS radars in Fort Worth and Granger. DFW in the 50s, but looks like it will cross the surface front a county or two East of the Metroplex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I have concern that many of the cells on the Little Rock radar seem to be morphing into discrete storms from earlier precip today, even if these cells are elevated and north of the boundary. Makes me worry about storm mode south of the boundary later on today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
