That storm near haskell is dropping hail 4"+ diameter

Tweet from Brad Panovich:

"‏@wxbrad · 60k' overshooting top and 65dbz at 30k', wow that's a heck of storm near Shackelford, TX. Tennis ball hail. #txwx"

[Texas Snowman]

Tweet from All Access Weather. Looks - to me at least - as if current movement will keep this tornadic supercell south of Stephenville and most of the Metroplex.

"‏@allaccesswx · 1m1 minute ago
#Torando continues to be on the ground near May #TXwx @ 320 PM CDT. Storm moving east at 35 MPH. #severe #wx - Jim"

This is a must watch live stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBwVHoa79VE

Sitting at my ranch in northern Shackelford county watching an impressive funnel. Too far away to tell if it is on the ground or not. I'm trying to decide if I should run or take cover.

[stephen23]

If that storm stays together looks like Stephenville may get large hail for the second time in three days

[Texas Snowman]

Per NBC Five's Twitter feed, the tornadic circulation appeared to be directly over May (population 285 in 2000).

[TheProfessor]

Anyone else worried about the Northern Storm? it's got grapefruit size hail and it looks like it's back building and possibly trying to re hook

[Texas Snowman]

Johnny Kelly's Twitter feed quotes NWS (from public reporting) that the tornado in Brown County has been on the ground for at least 10 minutes.

"NWS Fort Worth ‏@NWSFortWorth · 14s15 seconds ago
3:31pm: TORNADO on the ground just south of Rising Star in Comanche county. Take shelter if you're in the path of this storm! #Abilene"

[cheezyWXguy]

Okay so, I've noticed that the cell north of abilene is starting to become embedded in a cluster or line of storms oriented SSW to NNE. Is this the beginning stages of what is supposed to become the southeastward-moving derecho that was mentioned earlier?

That's supposed to be after 0z(aka dark) but who knows.

[Texas Snowman]

What a hook echo on that storm coming into Comanche County.

New storm just popped up west of Abilene, this is the one we probably need to watch in the Metroplex.

Not yet, northeast movement overall it seems. A bigger line will form late this evening further west. HRRR is depicting a few more supercells (one over the same area being hit now, Brown, Erath, Comanche counties etc. However HRRR is not the best model of late.
