Severe Storm threat for Easter Weekend?

[Extremeweatherguy]

There was a period of hail (dime-sized) and gusty winds on the order of about 50mph as the storms rolled through my area.

Stay Safe up there EWG. FWD Aviation Update gives some clues to the difficulties that forecasters are having with guidance and timing of the dryline/front...

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
643 AM CDT FRI APR 2 2010

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 12Z TAFS...PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN IS THE TIMING OF TSTM
ACTIVITY THAT LOOKS TO MOVE THRU TAF SITES TODAY. THE GRAVITY WAVE
THAT PROMPTED THE VEERING OF THE WINDS IN THE 09Z AMENDMENTS HAS
WEAKENED CONSIDERABLY AND THEREFORE REMOVED THIS GROUP FROM THE
BEGINNING OF THE 12Z TAFS. IN TERMS OF TSTM ACTIVITY...BASED ON
11Z LINEAR EXTRAPOLATION OF SCATTERED STORMS AND ASSOCIATED
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY...THIS ACTIVITY WILL REACH THE METROPLEX AROUND
14Z. IF TSTM ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO DEVELOP NEAR THE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY THIS MORNING THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND LIKELY SOME FAIRLY
WEAK/UNORGANIZED TSTMS WILL MOVE THRU THE METROPLEX IN THE 14 TO
16Z TIMEFRAME AND THEN CONVECTIVE CHANCES WILL DIMINISH QUICKLY AS
COLD FRONT/DRYLINE HYBRID MOVES THROUGH NORTH TX. LOOKING AT THE
09Z RUC AND 06Z NAM BOTH MODELS INDICATE THAT THE DRYLINE/COLD
FRONT WILL SLOW DOWN THIS MORNING IN RESPONSE TO STRONG HEIGHT
FALLS OVER THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS AS A STRONG UPPER VORT MAX
MOVES ACRS THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES THIS MORNING. THIS WOULD MOST
LIKELY OCCUR IF TSTM ACTIVITY DIMINISHES OFF TO OUR WEST THIS
MORNING. IF THE FRONT/DRYLINE SLOW DOWN...TSTM ACTIVITY JUST AHEAD
OF THIS BOUNDARY WOULD LIKELY BE MORE ORGANIZED IN NATURE AND HAVE
SOME POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE SVR WX IN THE FORM OF LARGE HAIL OR
DAMAGING WINDS. AT FORECAST TIME IT WAS DIFFICULT TO SAY WHICH
SOLUTION WAS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR. BECAUSE OF THIS HAVE PLACED
VCTS IN METROPLEX TAF SITES FROM 15 TO 21Z AND THEN TEMPOED IN THE
17 TO 19Z TIMEFRAME ANTICIPATING SOME SLOW DOWN/RESPONSE TO THE
STRONG UPPER FORCING OVER THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS. BEHIND THE
DRYLINE VFR CONDITIONS WILL QUICKLY RETURN TO TAF SITES AND
WESTERLY WINDS WILL DIMINISH IN INTENSITY QUICKLY AFTER SUNSET.

DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0750 AM CDT FRI APR 02 2010

VALID 021300Z - 031200Z

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS TODAY INTO TONIGHT FOR E
TX...ERN OK...MO...AR..AND WRN MS...

...SYNOPSIS...
AN INITIAL SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE CYCLONE WILL MOVE
NEWD FROM ERN SD TO WRN ONTARIO THROUGH TONIGHT. A TRAILING COLD
FRONT AND REMNANT DRYLINE WILL CONTINUE EWD ACROSS THE CENTRAL/SRN
PLAINS...AS THE PRIMARY MID LEVEL TROUGH EJECTS EWD FROM ERN NM/W TX
THIS MORNING TO AR BY TONIGHT.

...N TX INTO CENTRAL/NE OK THIS MORNING...
AN ONGOING BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS /ROOTED NEAR THE GROUND/ WILL
LIKELY PERSIST AND MOVE EWD THROUGH THE MORNING IN THE VICINITY OF
THE REMNANT DRYLINE/COLD FRONT. THIS CONVECTION HAS BEEN SUPPORTED
BY A BELT OF ASCENT IN ADVANCE OF THE SRN HIGH PLAINS SHORTWAVE
TROUGH...WHICH IS MOVING EWD PER WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND THE
BACKING/ STRENGTHENING FLOW ALOFT NOTED IN REGIONAL PROFILER PLOTS
ACROSS OK/TX. MEANWHILE...AN INFLUX OF BOUNDARY LAYER DEWPOINTS OF
60-65 F ACROSS TX/OK BENEATH THE REMNANTS OF A STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE
RATE PLUME WILL PROVIDE SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY /MUCAPE OF 1000-1500
J PER KG/ TO MAINTAIN A RISK FOR AT LEAST ISOLATED LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS THROUGH THE MORNING. DEEP-LAYER AND LOW-LEVEL
VERTICAL SHEAR WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR EMBEDDED SUPERCELL AND/OR
BOWING STRUCTURES...ESPECIALLY THIS MORNING WHILE THE LLJ REMAINS
QUITE STRONG ACROSS N TX AND CENTRAL/ERN OK.

...E TX/ERN OK/WRN AR/MO THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING...
THE REMAINS OF THE MORNING CONVECTION WILL LIKELY INTENSIFY DURING
THE AFTERNOON FROM E TX NWD ACROSS ERN OK/WRN AR AS LOW-LEVEL
MOISTURE CONTINUES TO SPREAD NWD...AND AS THE W TX SHORTWAVE TROUGH
REACHES CENTRAL TX AND DOWNSTREAM ASCENT STRENGTHENS. WARM SECTOR
INSTABILITY WILL NOT BE PARTICULARLY STRONG /MLCAPE VALUES AOB 1000
J PER KG/...BUT DEEP-LAYER VERTICAL SHEAR WILL REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR
EMBEDDED BOWING/ROTATING STORMS WITH AN ATTENDANT THREAT FOR
DAMAGING WINDS...HAIL...AND A TORNADO OR TWO. THIS CONVECTION WILL
THEN SPREAD EWD ACROSS LA/AR THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...AND
NWD/NEWD ACROSS MO/IL...THOUGH THE SEVERE STORM THREAT FARTHER N AND
OVERNIGHT WILL BE LIMITED BY WEAK INSTABILITY.

...LA/WRN MS OVERNIGHT...
THE STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL PIVOT EWD/ENEWD OVER NRN LA/AR
OVERNIGHT AND CONTRIBUTE TO STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR WITHIN THE WARM
SECTOR. SOME CONTINUED INCREASE IN MOISTURE OVERNIGHT WILL HELP
MAINTAIN INSTABILITY AND THE POTENTIAL FOR STORMS ROOTED AT OR NEAR
THE GROUND. ISOLATED DAMAGING WINDS...AND PERHAPS A TORNADO...WILL
REMAIN POSSIBLE INTO EARLY SATURDAY AS CONVECTION REACHES THE MS
RIVER IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD FRONT.

AREAS AFFECTED...NE TX

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 021259Z - 021430Z

HAIL AND ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE AS STORMS
INCREASE IN COVERAGE ACROSS NE TX OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. WW
ISSUANCE MAY BE NEEDED ACROSS THE REGION DEPENDING ON HOW THE
SITUATION UNFOLDS THIS MORNING.

THUNDERSTORMS ARE CURRENTLY INITIATING WEST OF THE DALLAS/FORT WORTH
METROPLEX ALONG A COLD FRONT AND ON THE WRN EDGE OF A CORRIDOR OF
LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE. SFC DEWPOINTS ACROSS NE TX ARE STEADILY
INCREASING AND SHOULD REACH THE MID 60S F AHEAD OF THE STORMS OVER
THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THIS COMBINED WITH INCREASING DEEP LAYER SHEAR
AND INSTABILITY MAY SUPPORT ISOLATED SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT. IN
ADDITION...OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS SHOWS A 40 TO 50 KT LOW-LEVEL JET IN
EAST TX. MODEL FORECASTS MOVE THE LOW-LEVEL JET NNEWD ACROSS NE TX
THIS MORNING SUGGESTING LOW-LEVEL FLOW MAY BECOME MORE FAVORABLE FOR
A WIND DAMAGE THREAT ESPECIALLY IF A LINE CAN ORGANIZE. STEEP
MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES SHOULD ALSO BE SUFFICIENT FOR AN ISOLATED
LARGE HAIL THREAT WITH THE STRONGER CORES.

STRONGER MID/UPPER FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH A SHORT WAVE IMPULSE

Perhaps a bit more daytime heating than previously thought as stratus deck is not that thick and a little destabilization could get things firing.

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 42
CONTINUES.

IT IS NOT CLEAR THAT A NEW WW WILL BE REQUIRED IN THE NEAR

OF AN INCREASING SEVERE THREAT THIS AFTERNOON.

STRONGER MID/UPPER FORCING...ASSOCIATED WITH ONE SHORT WAVE IMPULSE
LIFTING OUT OF THE BASE OF THE LARGER SCALE UPPER TROUGH SHIFTING
EAST OF THE ROCKIES...NOW APPEARS TO BE LIFTING INTO PARTS OF THE
MID/LOWER MISSOURI VALLEY. HOWEVER...IN THE PRESENCE OF STRONGER
INSTABILITY...PRE-FRONTAL LARGE-SCALE FORCING FOR UPWARD VERTICAL

DEVELOPMENT EASTWARD INTO PARTS OF THE OZARK PLATEAU AND THE
ARKLATEX LATE THIS MORNING. ALTHOUGH PERHAPS IN THE PROCESS OF
WEAKENING...SOUTHERLY 850 MB FLOW ACROSS THIS REGION IS PROGGED TO
REMAIN AT LEAST AROUND 45-50 KT THROUGH 18-20Z. SO A CONTINUING
SEVERE THREAT IS A CONCERN. BUT...IT MAY BE SEVERAL MORE HOURS
BEFORE SUBSTANTIVE BOUNDARY LAYER BASED DESTABILIZATION IS ABLE TO
