Called it, lol... Mesoscale Discussion 0346 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0359 PM CDT Fri Apr 09 2021 Areas affected...Parts of central Texas Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 092059Z - 092300Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...Isolated to widely scattered intense thunderstorms increasingly possible through 5-6 PM, accompanied by the risk for large, potentially damaging, hail and locally strong surface gusts. A severe weather watch may be needed within the next hour or so. DISCUSSION...The deepening moist boundary layer has become strongly unstable along/east of the dryline which is still just west of the Interstate 35 corridor, across north central through central Texas. As mid-level troughing begins to overspread this region, it appears that cooling aloft is contributing to weakening of initially strong mid-level inhibition. Initial attempts at thunderstorm development may be underway to the west of the dryline, based on recent satellite imagery, and isolated to widely scattered thunderstorm development appears possible through 22-23Z. Strongest deep-layer shear, beneath the high-level jet of lower-latitude Pacific origin, is generally south of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, between Waco and San Antonio, where potential for supercells currently seems highest. This probably will be accompanied by a risk for large, potentially damaging hail, and locally strong surface gusts into early evening. ..Kerr/Thompson.. 04/09/2021 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Witness Protection Program Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 2 hours ago, Powerball said: Dry line is already entering the western half of DFW. We'll see if it does slows down, or if it moves through and sets up shop just east of the Metroplex like the GFS has been showing. Is that the S shaped line from Weatherford to Granbury and west of Gatesville? If so, it's been barely moving east. Looks like 2 little cells are popping up just east of it, over Gatesville and south of Clifton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
