I was on the Sam Houston National Forest cell earlier when it passed near Bryan, but let it go as it continued east into the more dense forests near I-45, so it's fitting that it would ramp up after I dropped off it. But man, once it was able to fully root down to the surface and take advantage of the low level shear, it took off. Probably needed the time for it to warm to >80ºF (82/71 at Huntsville the last hour, with dews as high as 75/76ºF just to the south) for it to overcome the low level lapse rates.

 Mesoscale Discussion 0444
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0538 PM CDT Wed Apr 22 2020

   Areas affected...northeast Texas

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 134...

   Valid 222238Z - 230015Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 134 continues.

   SUMMARY...A couple of storms may develop across north Texas this
   afternoon and evening. All severe threats will be possible with any
   storms that develop.

   DISCUSSION...22z observations and surface analysis show a few deeper
   updrafts beginning to coalesce along and ahead of a bulging dryline
   near the DFW metroplex. Storms have struggled to mature thus far,
   which suggests that some MLCINH remains across the area, and this is
   also supported by the modified 19z FWD observed sounding. Upper
   level lift from the shortwave trough moving through the southern
   Plains will likely continue to erode the remaining inhibition and
   could support the development of a few storms. The environment
   downstream is moist and unstable with dewpoints around 70 F and
   upper level wind profiles favor a discrete supercell mode with
   effective shear of 60-70 kt. All severe threats will be possible
   with any storms that are able to develop. A more favored corridor of
   tornado potential could develop where low level shear increases with
   eastward extent closer to the warm front. Here, surface winds are
   more backed and ESRH is greater around 200-300 m2/s2.

SUMMARY...SUMMARY   BASED ON RECENT RADAR AND ENVIRONMENTAL DATA, A STRONG TO INTENSE   TORNADO WITH POTENTIAL PEAK WINDS OF 130 TO 165 MPH (EF2-EF3) IS   LIKELY ONGOING.     DISCUSSION...DISCUSSION   RECENT RADAR SIGNATURES FROM KGRK AS OF 2250Z REVEAL AN INTENSE   SUPERCELL CHARACTERIZED BY A 0.5 DEGREE ROTATIONAL VELOCITY OF AT   LEAST 70 KT. A TORNADIC DEBRIS SIGNATURE HAS ALSO BEEN NOTED ON   RECENT RADAR SCANS. THESE SIGNATURES ARE OCCURRING IN AN ENVIRONMENT   CHARACTERIZED BY STP BETWEEN 5 AND 6. PREVIOUS SIGNATURES WITHIN   SIMILAR ENVIRONMENTS PRODUCED TORNADO-DAMAGE-ESTIMATED WIND SPEEDS   FROM 130 TO 165 MPH AND CONFIDENCE IS HIGH FOR A STRONG TO INTENSE   TORNADO. A LONGER-TRACK TORNADO IS ONGOING AND MAY CONTINUE BASED ON   THE ROTATIONAL VELOCITY DURATION AND THE STORM MOVING WITHIN A   FAVORABLE DOWNSTREAM ENVIRONMENT.
