Holy crap it's already tornado warned

That went from firing off to warned with the quickness. Good thing they are lining out pretty fast.

That couplet is pretty intense. Surprised there’s no cc drop on radar at the moment

[ElectricStorm]

Wow look at that meso near Gatesville
Also warned for baseball hail now as well. Geez

Temple/Belton area needs to be ready to take shelter. Monster supercell with intense rotation headed in that direction.

Very well defined couplet with a CC drop beginning to show up as well. Likely tornado on the ground.

Yeah, it could be a monster tornado

BWER on radar, Reed Timmer could be seeing a monster tornado or a multiple vortex.

Family just took shelter. We’re hearing thunder and rain moving in. Will keep y’all updated

Yeah, the Velocity just shot up based on Reed's Stream.

Reflectivity looks like it's trying to form an eye... like a hurricane... (BWER as mentioned above).

[Iceresistance]

Reed Timmer has a tornado on the ground!

Couplet weaker, I think Temple may have dodged the tornado, but the hail is going to be crazy.

[WeatherNewbie]

Looks like something is forming over the Metroplex. Hope it pushes through before it ramps up.

[TropicalTundra]

We were getting some decently sized hail earlier. Storm calmed down and no sight of tornado. Some damage to trees and windows though

Not a drop of rain here in North Fort Worth area (Marine Creek & 820) the last few systems have missed my area for the most part. light shower a crack of thunder but nothing even considered heavy.

Dew points have been too high lately up in NTX.

[txtwister78]

Nice round of more beneficial rain for the San Antonio metro (1-2 inches). Twelve reports of hail so far but mostly nickel to quarter size with one report of golf ball size on the NW side.

What is holding things back south? Is it that front with greater dewpoints down there?

Warm front hasn't made much progress. We're in a blocking -AO/-NAO episode. If it were winter this would be cold NW flow with embedded systems. Of course in April any disturbance would kick up some sort of severe, but this type of pattern is unusually cool of late. The huge northward surging, unstable air masses comes with large zonal flow troughs kicking out from the west allowing much more northward movement of warm fronts and boundaries, thus extremely moist environments.

Glad to see the southern tier of the state catching up on the rain to weed off some drought.

[Iceresistance]

I think the 18z GFS has lost its mind, 12 inches of rain just east of DFW in 11 days.

Seeing lots of talk of May being a dud with an Omega block. Uh oh. Early summer?

Good Lord I hope not. We do have some 90s late next week so maybe.
