Re: Texas Spring-2015

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0533
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1252 PM CDT THU MAY 07 2015
AREAS AFFECTED...SRN OK THROUGH NRN TX
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY
VALID 071752Z - 071945Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...80 PERCENT
SUMMARY...STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED AND
INCREASE IN INTENSITY FROM SRN OK THROUGH NRN TX THIS AFTERNOON.
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS...BUT A FEW
TORNADOES CANNOT BE RULED OUT. WW WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED SOON.
DISCUSSION...STORMS HAVE LARGELY EVOLVED INTO AN MCS FROM NWRN TX
INTO SWRN OK AND IS MOVING SLOWLY EWD. STORM EMBEDDED WITHIN LEADING
EDGE OF MCS OVER SWRN OK IS BEGINNING TO SHOW UPDRAFT ROTATION. THE
SFC LAYER DOWNSTREAM FROM THIS ACTIVITY IS UNDERGOING RAPID RECOVERY
AS AN OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WEAKENS AND LIFTS NWD...ALLOWING RICHER
/UPPER 60S F DEWPOINTS/ TO ADVECT THROUGH NRN TX AND SRN OK. MIXED
CONVECTIVE MODE WITHIN THE MCS AND GENERALLY MODEST LOW-LEVEL SHEAR
LOWERS CONFIDENCE IN A MORE SUBSTANTIAL TORNADO THREAT.
NEVERTHELESS...DEEP SHEAR FROM 40-50 KT...A MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER AND
MODERATE INSTABILITY WILL SUPPORT EMBEDDED ORGANIZED STRUCTURES
WITHIN THE MCS INCLUDING SUPERCELLS AND BOWING SEGMENTS. MOREOVER A
FEW DISCRETE STORMS MIGHT ALSO DEVELOP SEPARATE FROM THE MCS. AS
THESE STORMS INTERACT WITH THE RESIDUAL BOUNDARY...ISOLATED
TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE DESPITE RELATIVELY SMALL AMBIENT
HODOGRAPHS. OTHERWISE...LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND WILL THE MAIN
THREATS AS THIS ACTIVITY DEVELOPS EWD THIS AFTERNOON.

NWS Update: Flooding and Severe Weather Potential Today Through Sunday
Submitted by wd5m on Thu, 2015-05-07 13:32
NWS_FortWorthDallas_WeatherUpdate_May7
From: National Weather Service, Fort Worth
Date: Thursday, 7 May 2015 13:17 CDT
Good afternoon everyone,
A wet, active spring for many of us will continue to get wetter - and more active. A large, lumbering upper level storm system will remain to our west through Sunday, placing North Texas in a preferred location for large-scale rising motion in the atmosphere, and the clouds and rain that normally brings. Because the atmosphere will remain MUCH wetter than normal through the weekend, and also quite unstable, we'll be facing a recurring heavy rainfall and severe weather threat. A short set of slides is attached.
BOTTOM LINE: Some locations in North and Central Texas will receive up to several inches of rainfall through the weekend. In a few areas, this rain will come down quickly, leading to flash flooding. We'll also have enough instability to support strong to severe thunderstorms each day. At the risk of being overly generic, lightning, hail, damaging winds - and isolated tornadoes will ALL be a threat.
Here's a key point we'd like for everyone to take away: There will be repeated rounds of thunderstorm activity across different parts of North/Central Texas the next four days. Because each round leaves some environmental leftovers for the next round to work off of, it will be difficult to pinpoint the timing and locations of activity beyond about 6-12 hours in advance.

There's a big Lana outdoor concert my sister is going to on Saturday, I'm going to have my parents hover near it to pull her out of it if anything even looks close to becoming awry.

Re: Texas Spring-2015
During their 11:29 AM CDT convective outlook, SPC went with an enhanced risk along the Red River.

DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1129 AM CDT THU MAY 07 2015
VALID 071630Z - 081200Z
...THERE IS AN ENH RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER PARTS OF SOUTHERN OK AND
NORTH TX...
...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM IA/MO INTO TX...
...THERE IS A MRGL RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN AND
CENTRAL PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE FROM THE UPPER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO THE SOUTHERN GREAT PLAINS...MAINLY THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE MAIN THREAT AREA FOR VERY LARGE HAIL AND
A FEW TORNADOES WILL BE ACROSS NORTH TEXAS AND SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA.
...OK/TX...
RADAR LOOPS SHOW A LARGE CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS THAT HAS DEVELOPED
IN THE PAST FEW HOURS OVER THE TX PANHANDLE. THIS ACTIVITY APPEARS
TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH A SHORTWAVE TROUGH SUGGESTED ON WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY ALONG THE TX/NM BORDER. AS THIS FEATURE TRACKS
EASTWARD...THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE AND BECOME MORE
INTENSE...LEADING TO A REGION OF ENHANCED SEVERE WEATHER RISK TODAY
OVER PARTS OF SOUTHERN OK AND NORTH TX.
LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A SUBTLE REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM
OVERNIGHT CONVECTION OVER NORTH TX. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS
THAT CLEARING IS OCCURRING RATHER RAPIDLY ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE
BOUNDARY...WITH GUSTY SURFACE WINDS HELPING TO TRANSPORT RICH
MOISTURE BACK TO THE NORTHWEST. BY MID AFTERNOON...PARTS OF
SOUTHWEST OK AND WESTERN NORTH TX SHOULD BECOME STRONGLY UNSTABLE
WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID-UPPER 60S AND MLCAPE VALUES OF 2500-3000
J/KG.
CURRENT CONVECTION AND ASSOCIATED OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES MAY COMPLICATE
STORM-MODE...BUT POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR DISCRETE SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT
WITH THE RISK OF VERY LARGE HAIL. LOW LEVEL WINDS ARE NOT FORECAST
TO BE PARTICULARLY STRONG...BUT STEEP LAPSE RATES AND AMPLE CAPE
COUPLED WITH MESOSCALE ENHANCEMENT TO LOW LEVEL SHEAR DUE TO REMNANT
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY MAY RESULT IN A FEW TORNADOES. AS THE ACTIVITY
MOVES EASTWARD...STORMS ARE LIKELY TO CONGEAL INTO A BOWING MCS WITH
A GREATER RISK OF WIND DAMAGE.

Re: Texas Spring-2015
FWD's AFD is very aggressive today:
ON SATURDAY THERE IS GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE MODEL GUIDANCE THAT THE
UPPER TROUGH WILL BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO PROVIDE ORGANIZED LIFT OVER
THE REGION FOR THUNDERSTORMS. THE STRONGER 700MB FLOW FROM THE
SOUTHWEST WILL BRING THE DRY LINE TO THE WESTERN CWA DOORSTEP AND
ALSO A CAP INTO THE REGION. THIS CAP SHOULD BE WEAK ENOUGH TO
BREAK DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. NEEDLESS TO SAY...SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING REPRESENTS THE BEST CHANCE FOR SIGNIFICANT
SEVERE WEATHER...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND WEST OF I-35 WHERE
SUPERCELLS WITH A TORNADO THREAT WILL BE POSSIBLE.
ON SUNDAY THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH AXIS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION.
WIDESPREAD RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED WITH A STRONG LOW
LEVEL FEED OF UNSEASONABLY RICH MOISTURE. CELL TRAINING AND
SEVERAL CLUSTERS OF STRONG CONVECTION ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE
DAY AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS. SUNDAY WILL REPRESENT OUR HIGHEST
CHANCES OF RAINFALL AREAWIDE...WITH AN ENHANCED RISK OF FLASH
FLOODING. A SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL WILL EXIST AS WELL...BUT DUE
TO WIDESPREAD CONVECTION...THIS THREAT DOES NOT LOOK AS ORGANIZED
AS SATURDAY/S SETUP...ESPECIALLY FOR THE WESTERN HALF OF THE
REGION. THE EASTERN PARTS OF THE AREA WILL HAVE A BETTER THREAT
FOR SEVERE WEATHER SUNDAY AFTERNOON WHERE MORE INSTABILITY WILL BE
AVAILABLE FOR FEWER STORMS...AT LEAST INITIALLY. CONVECTION WILL
FINALLY END FROM WEST TO EAST AS A COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH
SUNDAY NIGHT.

That's insane and would be the most rain, in a short period of time, this area has seen in a very long time if it's that's widespread. Even getting just half of those totals will cause flooding problems. For NTMWD lakes, Lavon is still 1' above pool with release continuing into Ray Hubbard. The release has steadily raised Ray Hubbard to almost 2' below it's normal. If we get half that rain, both lakes will be releasing water next week.

To add into the mix, thousands and thousands of miles away, the westerly wind burst associated with the El Nino is spawning some massive typhoons (and potentially super typhoons) that will re-curve.

South of Slidell, moving towards Sanger.
Not sure if it is still occurring, but it was on the ground for sure.

KXAS said they are getting reports that it is a multiple-vortex tornado. There have been structures hit and possibly destroyed.
