Texas Spring 2023

[TarrantWx]

Um, so this is the apparent tornado that hit just north of me that I was talking about.

I saw this looking out my front yard and didn't even know it. Assumed microburst mistakenly.

That's right across 35 from where I live. No wonder it was so crazy here. I saw a bunch of power flashes on that side of 35 as the storm approached.

Sooooo... Is it too early for weed and feed in ETX? What about buying some new potted plants for the front patio?

Asking for a friend.

I'd wait until another week. Could probably weed and feed. Perhaps a light freeze or two but nothing prolonged, as in earlier post it takes something historic to get 24+ consecutive hours below freezing in mid March.

I was looking at RadarScope in different modes trying to suss out some circulation when this spin up decided to visit living things after it went to target. It looked like it was all straight line on radar.

I was looking out of my window to the southwest and couldn’t see anything either.

Tulsa mentioning snow already here for late next week. Well see if it goes better than the last couple times(spoiler did not snow)

With all the flooding and rapid drought improvement in California and the southwest recently, I’m wondering what downstream impacts that will have for future systems that will come to us over the next couple of months. Makes me think capping might not be as much of a detriment to severe weather setups. Any thoughts?

Tippett's work is solid. His group thinks it will be an active Southern Plains season.

So should we head back to the winter thread?

It's 73.5 in my office and 73.4 outside as of 1:30pm. Heading out for a long bike ride. Long-range GFS indicating possible mid 30s around the 18th (winter's last gasp). Highs only in the 50s for a couple of days.

Oh no, I don't like that. This could be the most active spring since 2019.

Not sure. Even up here the forecasts have gotten warmer

Tulsa took out the snow here so yeah I'm not sure what's up

At least it appears it's going to rain

And a lot of rain too, WPC has flooding concerns already for D4 and D5 for Northern Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.

The wind is crazy right now

Well at least it's going to rain. Temps just keep trending warmer

Well, I'd rather have that if we need to prevent a freeze-kill of the grass and some of the trees.

North Texas aka the new swamp/big thicket of Texas. You guys have been getting so much rain!

Saw a post in the ENSO updates that Nino 1+2 temperature anomaly is +1.1°C, El Nino is on the way!
