Storm behind the Hico storm (the one north of Brownwood, causing ping pong sized hail at Rising Star) appears to have a northeastward motion. If it holds together, that could take it towards Fort Worth.

It has continued to intensify in the last half-hour. If rotation trend continues, I'd think it will go tornado warned at some point. Mean looking storm.

Not very often you see icy roads in April. Spotter near Dublin, TX report -- 4" of hail accumulation on Hwy 6. Slick and icy,

Derecho/squall line is starting to set up out west evident with the numerous thunderstorm warnings clustered and building southward. Long way to go before it gets here though. Got to watch storms that form well ahead of the line. Lots of rain for the western watersheds, that area near and around Shackleford counties (radar indicated) could have picked up 4-6" of rain and still going.
