Stx_Thunder Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 1 hour ago, Quincy said: I know it’s early, but this whole complex could grow upscale and impact the greater Houston area later on… Knowing well over the years how MCS activity goes this time of year in TX, that’s bound to happen as it very rarely fails around Houston, especially. But the same (concerning impacts) could be said for a large part of the state later today. Though especially now with daytime heating coming into the mix (aside from adequate CAPE & shear). And the H5 subtropical High is moving further west away from TX as I got an almost due-northerly 500Mb flow now on 12z (BRO & CRP) UA sounding data here in STX this morning.

Powerball Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Just doing a cursory comparison... What's impressive about today's event vs June 2019 is the latter happened during peak heating after a day with plentiful morning sunshine (when the temp/dewpoint spread was much wider, thus in theory would have enhanced the downdraft strength), whereas today's event happened at diurnal minimum. Also, I'm pretty certain the coverage of severe wind in June 2019 was more widespread throghout the Metroplex in June 2019, even if the peak rainfall/wind intensity was somewhat less impressive. Today's event was mostly concentrated in the NE half of DFW (granted, still a ton of people impacted). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it has prompted a Hgh Wind Warning for the San Angelo area. Also starting to see some reintensification / redevelopment of storms down around Austin / College Station as the enhanced low level convergence erodes what little capping was in place. Will have to watch and see if it intensifies into a severe QLCS for Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted May 29 Author Share Posted May 29 3 hours ago, Chinook said: is Pettit in here? Yes, the hail core went right through Pettit, which is a near ghost town about 7 miles NE of Whiteface. I went back up there and saw tennis to baseball sized hail all over the ground. Granted, it had about 45 minutes to melt… By the way, the picture I took was from an earlier supercell. The second one was a direct hit. A third one also grazed the area, but it was noticeably weaker. That area really got pounded. Lots of flash flooding due to heavy rain and hailmelt.

Quincy Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 Just finished chasing the supercell down by Marathon, TX. It produced a couple of landspouts. A little Fort Stockton area magic, I suppose. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 There is indication in the model guidance that another squall line could move through DFW tomorrow, this time during peak heating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 Marathon, TX got smacked by the hail core. It looks like large amounts of small to marginally severe hail fell. There were several inches accumulated in town: It looks like a notable MCS may plow through parts of Oklahoma and Texas tomorrow, with additional supercell development possible to the west, on the High Plains. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 First round is sub-severe, but has turned into a heavy rain threat for the NE. DFW suburbs, with a flash flood warning in effect for portions of Collin / Denton County. Will have to watch the evolution of that 2nd line of storms to the SW of Wichita Fallas for this afternoon though, for severe activity. EDIT: And now a Flood Warning as well for Dallas County.

Powerball Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Another estimated 3-4" of rain fell with the most recent round of storms part of DFW, with more storms moving in shortly. I suppose flooding is better than a repeat of Tuesday morning, if a poison had to be picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted May 31 Author Share Posted May 31 Yesterday featured a hail storm around parts of Denver and a tornado in Midland, TX. I extended the thread through June 4th, as the active pattern looks to continue for a few more days, before a ridge builds in the West. That will probably mean a relative lull in severe action for a while, aside from local mesoscale events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
