Texas Spring 2022

[Brent]

Looks like it's finally raining in DFW

[HockeyTx82]

In the last 24 hours I recorded 1.85 inches of rain.

[rwfromkansas]

Barely got an inch, but more than any other rainfall this year, so I will take it. Dallas looks like it got more.

[Ntxw]

0.95" at the airport so pretty close to "1. Most were in that range 1-2" higher to the north and west. The further north higher totals is actually quite beneficial to the lakes as the runoffs end up downstream some so there's that, even if not excessive to the south.

The Drought Map is going to look better after this, I only managed to pick up 1.2 inches because the boundary was shoved further south than the models expected & the Supercells like to dodge my house

Supercells dodging your house is a good thing.

1.61" at my house in Longview. The last inch or so came from pretty heavy stratiform rain on the backside of the line of storms over the last few hours. Very much needed after we missed out on the last couple rain events. Glad to see a lot of other areas in Texas getting some good rain.

What if they are the main source of rainfall for the certain event? Only one (Which missed me way to the north) produced tornadoes, & the others were insufficient for a tornado warning despite strong hooks on radar with poor velocity. (That's the only good thing)

I would say supercells occur where they want when they want and are a source of rainfall. But they can do damage to lives and property, when you have to pay for the cleanup and deal with the financial hit and whatnot to your home, you just don't want to see it as a homeowner. Same with hail, it's okay when you are kid and someone else takes care of it . That's the honest truth. Believe me those who have a house in their name cheer hard for big storms to miss.

That's what I do. I actually put some fans out back to blow the storms around me.

As long as they can't produce a tornado (Or very well), produce BIG Hail, or do damaging winds, I'll be fine with them around.

Found this sounding on the 12z GFS over OKC for Friday, the Hodograph is very impressive for wind shear as well.

I don’t own a home, but my parents and a few friends do, and all in all I’d say supercells are worth it if they’re you’re only source of rain in a drought period. Only a small portion of the storm, or even the hail core, would be producing hail large enough to cause significant roof damage, if it does at all, so the chances of taking those impacts are statistically low. Foundation problems seem like a worse and more widespread issue to me, which get worse in back to back long term drought/flood intervals.

A couple of nice downpours here in Austin so far today; seeing about 1.2"-2" around town. And raining again right now; yay. Thunder this morning.

I had this same sentiment until got hit twice in 2012 by baseball hail and lots of foliage and tree damage in that crazy wind storm June a few years ago, cleanup for that took weeks. Once it happens to you, mindset completely changes no matter the odds! I know Brent went through the same process after coming from Alabama, from his posts the Wylie hail a few years back gave him second thoughts.

I rarely have to worry about supercells where I live. They’re very rare around this part of the state. I’ve only experienced a few of them down here with the worst one producing golf ball size hail and an Ef-0 that missed my house by about a half mile. Most of the time I’ll never say no to a supercell but I’m half crazy and just love the experience and plus I love the torrential rain rates. Plus I know where I live the weather usually doesn’t get too severe here, not even from supercells. The craziest event I’ve ever experienced here was definitely Harvey where I once got caught under a very heavy band and received 6” of rain in one hour. That was an absolute thrill for me to be completely honest.

Long term early May pattern looks like possibility for blocking (scenario 2 from prior post) which would assist keeping storm pattern active in the southern rockies and plains. Promising look at least to begin a new month.

Big rains in Grayson County and the Red River Valley.

As much as 5.11 in sone parts of the Denison/Sherman area according to KTEN meteorologist Mandy Bailey!

At least DFW will get more rain May 12-15. It always rains during the Byron Nelson golf tourney.
