Preliminary ef3 on Sulphur and Marietta(with further investigation pending) and I have no doubt Holdenville will be up there too given its incredible radar signature. Wow. Entirely possible we had multiple violent tornadoes overnight last night in Central Oklahoma :double:

It’s hard to say for sure since the storm is equidistant from the dfw and shv radars, but that storm in Palestine, TX looks to have a tornado on the ground. Very strong circulation, and what appears to be a strong cc drop. It’s hard to say for sure though, because of how high the beam is measuring at that location. Looks bad but not much talk about it at the moment.

Edit: even though there still appears to be a strong circulation aloft in this storm, it has moved out of the warning box and no subsequent warning has been issued. Based on this I’m assuming the cc drop is due to a large amount of hail

I don’t think the severe stuff is going away anytime soon. I see a few more chances over the next couple weeks.

I missed all the severe weather, which is fine with me. The Elkhorn, NE tornado passed by my sister only 3 miles away. Crazy weekend of weather, but it is Spring, after all.

Ended up with 1.60" from yesterday at my house.

Just going off storm reports, North Texas was quite clearly the screw (or lucky) zone with this recent severe weather setup, aside from some intermittent flooding in areas along/south of I-20 and isolated large hail reports.

We'll see if that continues or changes with seemingly more systems to come.

May was a great rain month for NTX, with most locations reporting between 6-8+". Then, totals go up as you move towards E and NE TX.

12z Euro keeps it going.

I am in no way a professional. Take what I say with a grain of salt as I could be totally wrong. Please refer to the NHC, NWS, or SPC for official information.
