Eskimo Joe Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Seems like a pretty anemic, linear severe weather episode thus far. Have there even been any reports of tornadoes today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1900hurricane Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Just got out of my test. I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger (thanks HRRR). Going to motor up to Mexia and reevaluate there. Hopefully that meso-low develops and rewards me with some decent storms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TECHNICIANS ARE ON THEIR WAY TO THE RDA SITE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. GP/NWS I think the worst will be North and East of East Texas, there are parts of East Texas barely covered as it is by SHV, FWS and POE, and lose one, it can only get worse. I am still having intermittent problems with all the noaa.gov sites. I suspect they are getting a lot of traffic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTXYankee Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Not a good day for these sites to be going down. Just got a severe thunderstorm text warning for county north of DFW, that storm just popped out of no where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing there are two TDWR sites for the most populated areas. The cell down near Denton may start doing something soon, although winds are not very backed at the sfc.
