andyhb Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 The southern one of that pair of cells is moving towards Texarkana. Big hook west of Santa Anna, should move towards Brownwood as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Marusak Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Nice looking hook now on that cell near Coleman. Not too shabby on velocity either. wonder what the spotters south of Santa Anna on 283 are seeing right now. Because the Dyess AFB radar shot is looking good on that storm for some type of rotation.

wxmeddler Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 81/65 with SE winds in Grandbury,TX. In line with the second cell in the line. I give up the ghost if we can't do anything with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Middle cell east of ABI has consolidated its updraft nicely after looking pretty anemic for awhile. Also that stupid bloody radar hole over the Arklatex is a serious problem right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye05 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Tornado warning re-issued for the Texarkana area cell. In a pretty bad spot though radar wise, so I can't really see what exactly is going on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1900hurricane Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Cell in the Colorado River Valley SW of Brownwood looks interesting. Obvious right mover, some rotation evident based on radar, and a hook type of appendage can also be seen. Wouldn't be surprised to see this cell drop a brief tornado or two.

Jim Marusak Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Brownwood cell looking more Tornadic. ~40 kts of shear on base scan. would like to see what they're seeing on the ground in southern Brown County before the storm heads into FWS's and EWX's territory.

andyhb Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 That cell has had pretty strong rotation for awhile now. Edit: Yeah excellent rotation evident in the wall cloud from the chopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Marusak Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 That cell is moving into some pretty heavily populated areas should it reach the I-35 corridor between Waco and Austin. if the current headings don't change, and they most certainly might, the northern storm should go north of ACT heading towards Hillsboro, West, and south of Corsicana, while the southern cell may cause problems for Temple/Killeen/Ft Hood. but Waco itself, unless more cells develop in between, should be surrounded, but not hit.
