andyhb Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 CU field seems pretty healthy south of those two storms into Central TX. Ascent is approaching from the west and most model guidance indicates pretty slow strengthening of the cap into this evening. Edit: MCD out for the boundary intersection there.

jhamps10 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 amazing how the cell near Glen Rose is just flat out dying.... looks like the cell NW of Stephenville is about to become the dominant supercell now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Marusak Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 stephenville is now under a tornado warning. looking rather impressive on radar and there are trailing storms as well making for a possible mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhamps10 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 and that cell made the right turn at just the right time (at least if your not wanting that hail core or tornado into DFW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeEater Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 and that cell made the right turn at just the right time (at least if your not wanting that hail core or tornado into DFWI don't think it turned right enough to miss all of the Metroplex. Now what it will be doing by the time it gets there is another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Marusak Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 scary thought here. looking at the breckenridge storm and the stephenville storm here as individual cells and a larger collective for a sec. what if we get the outflows and/or the main cells from both storms somehow coming together near the east side of the metroplex itself?

jhamps10 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 It's either about to die, or it's recycling here... it's made a sudden shift north.. I'm thinking it's about to fall apart IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhamps10 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I'm starting to take a closer closer look at the cell moving into Hood County, it appears to me that it's moving more and more NE than east, putting it on track to get deeper into the Exburbs of DFW if not Tarrant or Dallas Counties itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Looks like that could be organizing into a tornado. I wonder if NWS Fort Worth is in contact with spotters, who are watching the area and -not- seeing a tornado yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Marusak Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 what's going to happen when all these texas cells decide to meet up and/or merge over the metroplex in 1-2 hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Cells to the west merging now. Storm to the south appears to be weakening virtually where the other one died. Is the atmosphere over DFW still not good for the storms to survive in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Clause Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Not sure any of these are going to get going, which is probably a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewxmann Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 what's going to happen when all these texas cells decide to meet up and/or merge over the metroplex in 1-2 hours? Bow echo and wind damage potential will increase (which was probably the main threat for the Metroplex all along). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Dallas-Fort Worth seems to have conveniently avoided tornadoes during this past week, despite the possibilities. I think Ft. Worth has had two days of wind damage, right? I'm glad there has not yet been any massive tornado in the metro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewxmann Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Cells to the west merging now. Storm to the south appears to be weakening virtually where the other one died. Is the atmosphere over DFW still not good for the storms to survive in? The morning convection really worked over areas around I-35. Before the atmosphere had a chance to recover the anvil from the first supercell knocked out any additional destabilization opportunities. Most unstable areas are S / E / N of DFW where the combined impacts from the first few rounds were minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 another tornado southeast of Stephenville about 3 minutes ago. They sure have taken a hit today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Marusak Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 the 00z FWS sounding is still fairly robust and should allow for some real good action. that nose will take a bit of work to overcome though. http://weather.uwyo.edu/cgi-bin/sounding?region=naconf&TYPE=GIF%3ASKEWT&YEAR=2015&MONTH=04&FROM=2700&TO=2700&STNM=72249 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
