Which severe thunderstorm caused this damage? Was it the 1st supercell that rolled through the city or the 7th one?

Honestly a little worrying that a TV station doesn’t appear to be any sturdier than, like, a supermarket.

I found it a tad ironic it hit the weather center too

That rain just refuses to move into DFW. But it is nice and cool.

Hi-res models are beginning to hone in on the SC TX region late tonight into tomorrow for some heavy rainfall potential.

Good news is the axis of heavier rainfall projected would be across areas most impacted by the ongoing drought however as is the case down here, too much of a good thing too quickly could lead to some flash flood potential especially if some of these higher end rainfall model outputs were to verify (RRFS for example).

Watching radar trends out west tonight.

I'm back in town from Orange County, CA (Laguna/Newport/Dana Point)...so glad we were able to pick up some much needed widespread multi-inch rainfall in the area while I was away!!! Very pleased to come back to this.

Now let's keep it going this week so I can not be a jinx...

18z HRRR is somewhat concerning, training heavy storms setting up wednesday- friday from the hill country- se texas, slow moving upper low spells trouble

Dang Gary England died

One of the all time greats in Meteorology

Flood watch issued for part of central TX into Texarkana. Looks wet.

Sounds like he was the Harold Taft of Oklahoma. RIP.

Had never heard of him. Did a quick search.

Oh yeah he's a legend up here... There are people who are on TV now here because of him. I'm basically calling him our James Spann

Apparently he was the first one on TV to figure out how to see a tornado on radar. He also created the warning map we see on TV

He was in the opening of the original Twister movie too

I’m a little confused. The FWD graphic ups rain totals across DFW. But really keeps focused flooding over central TX.

[rwfromkansas]

Well finally getting some rain in n FW. Been getting missed a lot lately.

But, it’s gone after a few minutes. lol.

[Ntxw]

0.43" of rain this morning for DFW airport. No big totals really the past 30 days but we've nickeled and dimed to quite a bit. 15.56" for the year so far, unless the faucet just completely shuts off for a long duration, should be a good year. Looks on pace for near normal.

[Gotwood]

Wasn’t it supposed to rain? NWS posted a graphic of heavy rain fall by Friday for my area and I didn’t receive any measurable rainfall so far today. Looks like it all went east.

[Stratton23]

Man if that 19z HRRR is right, their could be some huge problems west of houston, 15 inches of rain, yikes!

[rwfromkansas]

Why did the NWS expand the flood watch north across DFW?

That’s a bizarre choice.

Recent forecast discussion notes that heavy rainfall is possible in any training storms especially that they are moving from south to north. This is a direction that historically can dump rain on a locale very quickly due to high pwats and feed from the Gulf. This doesn't mean that everyone will see flooding it's just that the risk in this region is higher depending on where storms train, which in itself is going to be difficult to predict. MCV is also very slow moving.
