Mesoscale Discussion 0625

   Areas affected...southeast Colorado through southwest Kansas

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 175...

   Valid 152317Z - 160015Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 175 continues.

   SUMMARY...A relatively small window will exist through mid evening
   for brief isolated tornadoes from a portion of southeast Colorado
   through southwest Kansas.

   DISCUSSION...Early this evening a stationary boundary extends
   through southwest Kansas into southeast Colorado. Dewpoints are
   generally in the upper 50s to around 60 F in vicinity of this
   boundary contributing to somewhat lower LCLs and up to 2000 J/kg
   MLCAPE. Storms will continue spreading eastward off the higher
   terrain, and other storms may initiate on the boundary. Effective
   bulk shear around 35 kt will promote both multicell and marginal
   supercell structures, and some increase in 0-2 km hodograph size
   will occur as the low-level jet strengthens this evening. The
   primary threat for a few brief tornadoes is expected to occur as
   storms develop along or move east and interact with the boundary
   where low-level vorticity will be maximized.

'm under a Flood Watch until at least Wednesday as well . . .

I've been thinking about 2015 similarities, except there is no Tropical Storm!

Here is the Days 1-7 QPF, it's just absolutely crazy amounts expected!

Trinity river will be one to watch. If DFW gets flooding rains,  the area around the Trinity river typically will have big problems. 

will depend on meso features of course and luck with overlapping events

but it Looks like a mini train is setting up for Dallas county and SE Metro for round 1

started a new thread about heavy rain/flooding so this thread can focus on tornadoes, hail, wind, etc

BTW, the Byron Nelson (PGA Tournament) is currently taking place in McKinney, TX. 

Not sure if there's a delay though. 

They were playing up until now, but now play has been suspended.

Good news is that they're in the final round and the Tornado Warning has been cancelled.

SPC has upgraded much of the DFW Metroplex to a Slight Risk, with a 5% chance of a tornado...

   Day 1 Convective Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0251 PM CDT Sun May 16 2021

   Valid 162000Z - 171200Z

   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITHIN THE
   CENTRAL/SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS AND PORTIONS OF NORTH-CENTRAL TEXAS...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Scattered strong/severe thunderstorms are once again expected across
   portions of the central and southern Plains late this afternoon and
   evening. Large hail and severe wind gusts are the most likely risks.

   Tornado probabilities have been increased to 5%/Slight Risk in parts
   of north-central Texas, including the DFW metro area. Earlier this
   afternoon, a few weak/brief circulations were noted on KFWS radar
   along with reported brief touchdowns with the most organized storm
   now in Ellis County. Current radar imagery continues to suggest some
   potential for this activity to continue for a few hours. TDFW and
   TDAL VWP data continue to show semi-enlarged low-level hodographs. A
   couple storms, should they organize, west/south of the metro area
   may see similar potential for a brief/weak tornado given some
   heating ahead of that activity.

   Elsewhere, the outlook remains unchanged.

I went out to take a look, everything was rain-wrapped obviously and couldn't see anything lol, but was worth a shot

Not sure if we ever had a touchdown, but the path of the rotation would have taken it right over my old neighborhood (which also got on 10/20/19)

Just now, BrandonC_TX said:

Apparently there was "significant tree damage" at Goar Park in University Park according to NWS storm reports. Also a home got damaged on Northhaven Road across from North Haven Gardens, which was an area hit hard back on October 20, 2019.

Although the cell was tornado warned, it seems they're calling it high winds for now.

It looks like some pretty serious damage occurred to a home in the Northhaven area. Some debris was even lodged into the ground, apparently: https://mobile.twitter.com/HowertonNews/status/1394032811875651595?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^tweet

 

We’ll have to wait for the official survey, but the evidence seems pretty convincing for a brief tornado touchdown. This very spot got hit with the tornado on 10/20/19, so if this were a tornado it would be the second time in less than two years that a tornado hit this spot.
