Tornado warning and solid meso just E of Denton

That cell has been riding right on that boundary that Ntxw mentioned a bit ago.

[Quixotic]

Sirens going off here in Frisco

[cheezyWXguy]

Tarrant getting the screw job again. Again. Just rinse and repeat.

Some storms building back to the SW. This will be a multicellular blob vs. a line of storms. Some places will only get one round but others will see multiple rounds, that's how the models get 3-4" in an area.

Storms are also trying to zipper down along the boundary instead of behind it like before. Should see some better development over the next hour, but it looks like i35 and east is gonna get the higher rain totals

Edit: also, that tor warning in Collin county looks like it’s wrapping up into an mcv. That may be the focal point that the mcs kind of pivots around as it gets going

[rwfromkansas]

Looking like some more developing further back maybe behind the front at least.

The storm up north is nasty.

[ElectricStorm]

Kinda looks like a new rotation is trying to form near Celina out in front of the main one

EDIT: Yeah it definitely is the old rotation is weakening

[Texas Snowman]

@NWSFortWorth — 900pm: Celina and Weston in northern Collin county are directly in the path of strong rotation. This possible tornado is totally wrapped in rain and will not be visible. Get in your safe shelter now, lowest floor, and away from any windows. #dfwwx

1.26" of rain here in Ponder

[cheezyWXguy]

This line moving through looks to be the main chance for tornadoes, if any, but that secondary line back near mineral wells looks like the wind threat to me. Quite a wind surge showing up on velocity

[Texas Snowman]

As per KTEN Weather tweet, first responders are reporting a foot of water on Hwy. 289 (Preston Road) in Gunter.

I guess I misunderstood the expectations and thought the initial line was the main show. Our main event was the storms with high winds, and so that may be the next round. At least getting some heavy rains with this initial skinny line coming through. Will estimate maybe .30 once it's over in 10 minutes or so.

I think this is evolving differently in some ways than what the short term models showed, though the end result may end up the same. For the eastern half of the area at least, it may just be one round, as that second surge looks to be quickly catching up to the first one

[Iceresistance]

The rain has stopped at the house, I'll check the final Rain Gauge totals tomorrow since I did not empty it from last night's storms.

[gpsnowman]

Heavy hail here. Oh lordy. Marble size so far.

Heavy hail here. Oh lordy. Marble size so fsr.

Hail stopped thank God. Even marble sized hail sounds like Armageddon.

[bubba hotep]

Torrential rain here.

[Ntxw]

This line has produced some good qpf in a short amount of time, almost 1" at DFW so far.
