In the world of ENSO, El Nino is starting to take hold with low frequency signal in the tropics. Pretty evident with the MJO looking like it will set over the Pacific again and again. It's coming, and it's going to control everything weather soon for us.

The Enhanced Risk looks to be verifying to me the whole line is severe warned.What were you expecting? Tornado warning issued now also We have warnings on top of warnings here.Right now the storm chaser for one of the local news station is reporting winds of 75 mph live.


And you don't need a lot of instability up here due to the large amount of shear we get. It meets enhanced risk criteria to me. And enhanced risk is more about quantity of severe storms ( Numerous severe thunderstorms) and that is verifying. We weren’t talking about a moderate risk outbreak lol. I do agree with you though on Friday being interesting.

Well for one, I wasn't talking about the enhanced risk (yes I know what it means) or coming into today with an "expectation" of anything other than parts of the state getting some much needed rain. This was never a day that screamed "big severe weather outbreak" hence my instability comment (lol). I was reacting to the Tornado Watch issued by SPC and basically saying good thing things aren't going in that direction (radar/real-time wise).

The instability comment wasn't meant to suggest there wouldn't be severe weather today. Of course instability alone doesn't negate the prospect of severe weather (obviously) but it certainly can impact the range storms have to work with dynamically when parameters are higher than they were today as we saw?

Thus far we've had one very large hail report and one high wind report and no tornadoes. So yeah, I'd say that's a pretty good indicator again as severe weather days can go in Texas and witb a Tornado Watch posted of a "more bark than bite" end result and btw that's also why I said "that's a good thing". Take that comment as a positive one my friend. That's all. More to track going forward.

Boo! I want a tornado LOL joking of course. Sorry if I came across “gruff” last night.

No worries and unfortunately they're too many people on the web/social media world these days not joking when it comes to the Tornado aspect. That's so odd/cringe to me (definitely not like wanting/hoping for snow Lol)?Anyway don't get me started on that one...lol

Just glad folks are cashing in on some much needed rain up north. Much more to come across the state from the looks of things.

Most of the CAMS shows another round of storms here tomorrow evening.
