Do you live in western MO ?

Little relief for you - good thing - as the alley has shifted eastwards.

Maybe we could edit thread title to include today and tomorrow.


Maybe, just maybe, Houston will actually get some severe weather this Spring, although my wife's grandparents inside the 610 loop did get some hail Sunday morning, so I guess some parts of HOU area have had severe this season.

Is it done for the day?

Re: Houston area severe
New storms developing out near Midland, and a few cells just across the river in Mexico from Laredo area, and the sun just came back out in the Galleria, before 2 pm actual Sun time (daylight savings time less one hour), so maybe something will pop locally before dark, or the West Texas/Mexico stuff will move in after dark.

Thanks, I have to go for wedding dress fitting and my best friend is driving in from Pearland. Don't want here getting stuck in a bad storm an hour from home. The storms have been too severe everywhere else this spring.
