I'm not a good photographer when I'm driving.
Near Loop12 and I-30 in East Dallas, the funnel is too freaking close to me. In the foreground, behind the stupid Shell gasoline makes your engine better sign. It wasn't on the ground at this point.
In east Mesquite driving east, came around a bend and saw this:
Zoomed in, it was a monster. Was only on the ground for a few minutes, in Forney.
I also saw the tornado from I-20 near I-45. I SAW that thing and it was terrifying. And gray against a gray sky and I don't think any of my photos came out with anything identifiable.
Great pictures. That last was was creepy. It took out an elementary school in Forney, right? I hope there were no serious injuries. During lunch I went on the internet and there was a breaking news banner on MSN.com about the tornadoes down there.

Alright survey damage shows a series of locally damaging ef0 to ef3 along the I-30 corridor mostly for eastplexers. It was an average April style tornado frenzy for Texas from an outside point of view (not so much if you lost property). The fact that it happened in an area so heavily watched we got neat footage (aren't tornadoes that happen in the metroplex photogenic anyway?).
That tracter trailer video will probably now be forever painted in tornado lore and studied a million times over. If an ef2 can do that hopefully it gets people's attention in the future about bigger ones.

Here's what you really need to know about that tractor trailer video: They're just big empty mobile homes. Don't stay in your mobile home if a tornado of any strength is coming.

Re: Texas Spring 2012
Everybody north of a line from Lubbock to Shreveport is included in a Day3 Slight Risk on the SPC outlook.
Regarding the section I bolded.... I swear I've read that exact wording before. I'm not sure though, because I stopped reading it halfway through when a tornado was broadcast live on WFAA. Hopefully they're just being cautious now.
There's also a very rare Day SIX threat outlined from the Red River north into Kansas.
DAY 3 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0230 AM CDT SAT APR 07 2012
VALID 091200Z - 101200Z
...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS PART OF THE SRN PLAINS
TO THE ARKLATEX REGION...
...SYNOPSIS...
A BLOCKING PATTERN WILL PERSIST OVER NORTH AMERICA ON MONDAY AS AN
UPPER RIDGE SHARPENS OVER THE FULL EXTENT OF THE ROCKIES BETWEEN A
DEEP LONGWAVE TROUGH LOCATED ALONG AND OFF THE WEST COAST...AND A
LONGWAVE TROUGH PERSISTING EAST OF THE ROCKIES.
AT THE SURFACE...THE TRAILING PORTION OF A FRONT ATTENDANT TO A FAST
MOVING SHORTWAVE TROUGH TRANSLATING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND NERN
STATES ON DAY 2/SUNDAY IS EXPECTED TO EXTEND WSWWD FROM THE MID MS
VALLEY INTO SRN KS BY THE START OF DAY 3/MONDAY. GIVEN A NWLY FLOW
REGIME BECOMING BETTER ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE PLAINS STATES...THIS
SURFACE BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO SETTLE SLOWLY SWD THROUGH OK AND THE
TX PANHANDLE...WHILE THE ERN EXTENT REACHES THE MID SOUTH TO SRN
APPALACHIANS BY 12Z TUESDAY.
...SRN PLAINS TO THE ARKLATEX...
LOW LEVEL FLOW IS EXPECTED TO BECOME BETTER ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE
SRN PLAINS ON MONDAY. THIS WILL SUPPORT BOTH MOISTURE RETURN AND
LOW LEVEL WAA BENEATH A PLUME OF STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES /AROUND
7.5-8.0 C PER KM/ EXTENDING ESEWD ACROSS THE TX/OK PANHANDLES INTO
OK...RESULTING IN MODERATE INSTABILITY. DESPITE THE LACK OF STRONG
FORCING ALOFT...MODELS AGREE THAT A WEAK IMPULSE SHOULD TRACK SEWD
INTO OK BY PEAK HEATING. THIS COMBINED WITH LOW LEVEL WAA AND
SURFACE HEATING WEAKENING INHIBITION THROUGH THE DAY WILL SUPPORT
TSTM DEVELOPMENT MONDAY AFTERNOON INVOF THE SWD MOVING FRONT.
STRENGTHENING BULK SHEAR THROUGH THE DAY /40-50 KT/ WILL RESULT IN
ORGANIZED STORMS...WITH VERTICALLY VEERING WIND PROFILES SUPPORTING
ROTATING UPDRAFTS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR HAIL AND STRONG WIND GUSTS.
A TORNADO THREAT CANNOT BE RULED OUT...GIVEN LOW LEVEL HODOGRAPH
CURVATURE. MODELS SUGGEST CONTINUED LOW LEVEL WAA INTO MONDAY
EVENING/OVERNIGHT SHOULD SUPPORT A CONTINUE THREAT FOR TSTMS AND
SOME SEVERE AFTER DARK WITH THE FORMATION OF ONE OR MORE MCSS.
..PETERS.. 04/07/2012
Regarding the section I bolded.... I swear I've read that exact wording before. I'm not sure though, because I stopped reading it halfway through when a tornado was broadcast live on WFAA. Hopefully they're just being cautious now.

Re: Texas Spring 2012
I don't think cape values will support the same kind of thunderstorms this go round early this week/tonight. Maybe in NW Texas, the next big system looks interesting though.

Re: Texas Spring 2012
There are two TOR warnings right now with a confirmed tornado 5 miles west of Highway 163, moving into Sterling County TX.
Is this the same system that could happen on Friday the 13th?

I guess starting this Wednesday may be the catalyst or transition day from the current Central and southern Texas weather doldrums according to the latest discussion.

Took a quick look at the the CFSv2 long range forecast and it is encouraging for the state of Texas as is forecasting above normal rainfall for most of the state by late April and the month of May 
Forecast valid for April 17 thru the 23
Forecast valid for May
I'm loving those blue colors as they mean above normal rainfall!

I'm following a storm chaser from Lubbock who contracts for one of their local tv stations (not sure if allowed to name names, so I won't). His last post on FB (as of this post) around 11am on April 12th:
"While we've had some gentleman's chasing in Northwest Texas the last 3 days, things are about to ramp up in the Severe Weather Department for the next 3 days! (Wow, chasing 6 days in a row!!) KS and OK in particular will be increasingly under the gun through Saturday, was well as North Central TX. Do you have your weather radio? Is it on? Friday and especially Saturday could be a tornado outbreak. I think NW TX,for the most part, is finally going to get a break from the Severe Weather."

Rough day so far in the Coastal Bend. Some areas have received up to 10-16 inches of rain since midnight. I actually heard Portland got 10 inches within four hours. I myself have at 4 1/2 since 8AM in far northwest Corpus Chrsiti. I think we can post a "Drought Cancel", or atleast a Drought on hold.

Interesting to notice more severe thunderstorms in South Texas than here in Southeast Texas despite the fact that they are closer to the Mexican desert than we are. I wonder about it.

It's the only way droughts end in this state.
Next update will contain data as of tomorrow morning, and will be released Thursday morning.

Re: Texas Spring 2012
This is a statement by the Corpus Christi NWS:
..Strong to Severe Storms, Heavy Rain, Localized Life Threatening Flooding, and Hail the Size of Quarters through 3 pm Today…
A cold front has stalled across the Coastal Bend this morning. At the same time, an upper level disturbance is moving into the region. With the stalled cold front boundary, there will be training of thunderstorms across the same areas allowing local pockets of 3 to 5 inches causing localized flooding. The most prolific rainfall that occurred this morning occurred east of highway 77 along the Coastal Bend, where 12 to 16 inches have occurred in the Portland-Gregory region extending northeast just south of Bayside and west of Rockport. Another pocket of 8 to 10 inches has occurred Northeast of Refugio, and another 6 to 8 inches between Quintana and McFaddin. Training of storms is expected to continue along the stalled cold front where life-threatening flooding can occur. Remember when encountering a flooded roadway or overrunning creek, Turn Around, Don’t Drown. Some areas will continue to received 1 to 2 inches of rain per hour…mainly east of Highway 77.
