yoda Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Looks like a STW will be coming soon by 00z for N TX and S OK per MCD... maybe a TW... but I'd lean STW https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0373.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindancewx Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Mid-40s at my place with peak heating in mid-April, rain and hail. Pretty impressive...and sure enough lots of tornadoes likely the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese007 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Lots of folks complaining on social media about the various cancellations in DFW this evening.

Sydney Claridge Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 It looks pretty minor on radar right now, but I wonder about that little area of precipitation around Hico and Meridian right now, though it looks like it is struggling. If it can initiate into something bigger, on the track the storms seem to be taking, it could be a threat to DFW later on. Otherwise, it looks like DFW may have to wait for the storms that are currently down around Brownwood, unless something else tries to fire up. I've also noticed light radar returns over Parker County and have been wondering if they represent some sort of wind shift or boundary; there also seems to be some sort of boundary about midway between Breckenridge and Mineral Wells.

Witness Protection Program Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Yeah, I watched that light line roll west-northwest out of Fort Worth earlier, but I'm a weather idiot so don't know what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydney Claridge Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 It seems that the echo tops and radar returns estimated by the DFW radar have increased on that area of precipitation near Hico and Meridian; let's see if this is trying to initiate into something.

Witness Protection Program Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I hate to say it, but for actual storm coverage this Accuweather TV channel sux. At a minimum they need a Dr. Forbes. As cheesy and infuriating as The Weather Channel can often be, their storm reporting can be pretty good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese007 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Outside of the winds in Denton this looks to be a big bust for DFW. Thankfully so as we've had enough hail the past few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiegeog Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Storms are intense along along and south of I-20 in E TX. So far just heavy rain in Hideaway but storm is starting to bow out towards Tyler with some notches starting to form. Down in the Palestine, Jacksonville and Nacogdoches corridor it is already severe warned. This includes the Alto area that saw 3 tornadoes on Sat.

Araqiel Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 That funky wind profile sure seems to improve as the day wears on - putting this here because the SE forum doesn't seem that interested and the best discussion/info always seems to be here.

Yep, lots of closings around Palestine because of power outages. Damage seems to primarily be tree damage with a large area of 50 mph to even 70 mph gusts and multiple inches of rain Sat and again last night. I have not heard of much hail damage and despite areas of broad rotation I do not believe there were any tornadoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araqiel Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 HRRR has been semi-consistently painting out this long UH track in central LA this morning, looks like a nice boundary setting up right through there now - easiest to spot on the meso sector loop. GOES-16 image is marginally too big to upload so linked instead. Apologies again if this is the wrong forum, SE only seems interested in NC for some reason.

As a note there are other forums in the Houston, Louisiana (gulf mostly) and Alabama areas that are very active for those regions. It has been sadly typical that those areas do not tend to post in the SE forum here but migrate more to those other more regional weather forums.
