Tornado on the ground just 2 miles(confirmed by spotters) west from where I live. I can hear the roar of the Tornado and see a rapidly rotating wall cloud.

Folks in Hood county (Granbury) needs to start paying attention to the cell moving from Erath county. It's tightening up fast and the couplet is strong on velocity.

The storm west of Fort Worth is moving pretty slow. It will interesting to see if it can keep its intensity now that the sun is setting.

Last time I looked helicity values are high so they should be able to hold some of their strength for a while.

As of right now it looks like the immediate DFW area will be spared again. I'm looking forward to the soaking rains tonight.

Is it even going to rain in most of the metro? Really starting to doubt those high end rain totals unless tomorrow is a complete flood

I think they are expecting a mcs to develop south west of us, the HRRR was showing that earlier.

:uarrow: Just 25 miles up Hwy. 75, they performed high water rescues in Van Alstyne today. Northbound Hwy. 75 was shut down for some time with 3 to 5 feet of water on the road.

It's crazy how these cells keep falling apart as they cross I35W.

Been watching it all night do that... is there like a shield around the metro? Even the flooding in Gainesville and above McKinney is outside the metro.

Anyway... here's the new day 1, Dallas on the western edge of the 10% tornado... mentions a morning MCS.
