Storm in western harris is now showing a 100% chance of hail, 70% chance of severe hail and a max size near 1.5" on radar! Might see a warning go up for that one soon.

[Extremeweatherguy]

kind of looks like this thing may be trying to organize a wall cloud to my west. Looks weird. Not much lightning too..which for a hail producer seems rare.

well it looks like the severe cell coming for me has mysteriously managed to split and then reform around me leaving me with nothing but some moderate rain and a nice CG lightning display. I have been spared from this first threat it seems.

[JenBayles]

The NWS "enhanced" radar has been driving me nuts the past couple of days. Anyone else getting the dreaded red X when you try to run a loop?

[JenBayles]

EWG - now you know how Yankee and I feel about the Bear Creek Dome. :-D

I just got home after driving through the severe/tornado warned storm in Montgomery County. My gosh, it was intense!!! Lots and lots of cg lightning popping all around me, a torrential downpour, gusty winds and plenty of pea to marble sized hail.

That depends on what the storms to our SW decide to do. If those cells suddenly strengthen as they approach, then there is a chance we could see another round. The atmosphere is certainly primed for severe weather right now.

The threat should begin to diminish past sunset though.
