Texas Spring 2022

[cheezyWXguy]

Something is trying to go up over Eastland. Given its location directly west of dfw, I would be concerned about it’s impacts if it, or anything that develops in that area, manages to root into the surface layer

Radar is not picking up the dry line in Oklahoma, did it pass me already? Or has it not shown itself yet?

[HockeyTx82]

Latest HRRR looks to have this cluster pass south of Dallas and nothing for the northern burbs.

Tornado Watch in effect for Central, Northern, Southern Texas.

Starting to fill in, but need more north for DFW to get in on it if you want it.

Storms seem to be struggling to get surface-based down here. Lots of convective initiation, but not really sustaining yet.

Some of those storms southwest of DFW are starting to get suspicious looking

It's going to merge with the smaller cell out in front of it. However, it looks like the cluster to the south is starting to build northward, so that probably overtakes that little hook cell later on.

[UTSARoadrunner4]

Storm near UTSA got a “Special Weather Statement” for 40 MPH winds and Nickel Size Hail. Only storm so far that’s sustaining itself down here. Probably should be something to worry about to for points to the NE.

Might be a tornado on the ground north of Killeen. Small CC drop.

EDIT: Just went tor warned

[rwfromkansas]

I will maybe get the northern edge, but it’s a close call. The storm heading to Tarrant is expanding north as it goes east like the FV3 showed today actually. It is getting large.

Edit…it is tracking more NE and becoming discrete. Uh oh.

Uh Oh is right when there's a lonely Supercell, & Lonely Supercells are more dangerous because they have more unimpeded inflow & will be more likely produce tornadoes.
