SouthernNJ Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 The Howlett storm and the Forney storm merged, and it appears to have caused an increase in circulation, as well as the hail being produced. It also appears that a few new mesos are trying to form northeast of Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derecho! Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Even the stuff in East TX is all targeting good sized towns. Well, looks like couplet went right over Sulphur Springs (MAYBE a bit NW) was a TOG 15 minutes ago. They may have been it. Mount Pleasant hard to tell, sort of in the DFW/Shreveport radar hole.
