The SPC might need to shift tomorrow's risk area further south in their next update. The 18z GFS is showing CAPE values at or above 4000 from OKC southwestward tomorrow afternoon and evening. If the cap breaks during the late afternoon/evening, then storms may pop big time around these parts.RL3AO wrote:Two tornado watches in Texas.
Also a 30%H risk tomorrow in KS/OK.

Re: 2009 Severe Weather thread
Wow - what a rain event! Don't know what it takes to be a bona fide drought buster, but if today's gully washer didn't break the drought, it sure put a serious dent in it - small lakes in the area that were low are now overflowing.
The late great weatherman Harold Taft used to say that in Texas, the next drought will begin as soon as the last flood has ended.
I guess that must be so. Deadly wildfires a few weeks ago and now staggering rain totals. A good 7-9 inches here in many areas of the Red River Valley with more rain coming in later tonight. And doppler rain estimates show a swath of 14" of rain in northwestern Cooke County.
One thing is for sure, Lake Texoma is about to rise very dramatically over the next several days.
And there's more rain in the forecast for the weekend.

Re: 2009 Severe Weather thread
Snippet from FW AFD:
"ALTHOUGH THE AREA OF MOST CONCERN IS ALONG THE RED
RIVER COUNTIES...WHERE 8-12 INCHES OF RAIN FELL
WEDNESDAY...MULTIPLE EPISODES OF CONVECTION WILL LIKELY RESULT IN
AN INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOOD AND RIVER FLOODING OVER THE
NORTHERN HALF OF NORTH TEXAS.
FORECAST AREA SHOULD BE BETWEEN SYSTEMS EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH
ANOTHER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS TOWARDS MID WEEK. STAYED CLOSE TO
MAV TEMPS AND POPS THROUGH FORECAST PERIOD."
Lake Texoma is forecast to crest at 627 feet with no more rain. Another heavy rain event could send the lake into the 630s. And if more heavy rain were to show up next week, well, the spillway level is 644.
Wonder if we're heading for something like the summer of 2007 again?

Re: 2009 Severe Weather thread
We just took the hit from this storm. Torrential rain, frequent lightning. The wind was not as bad as predicted. One big gust came through.....short duration. Kind of strange though.....you could smell pine sap in the wind.....just like during Katrina.
Here's hoping everyone else fairs as well.
