Texas Spring 2025

[Ntxw]

1.92" and a southern batch coming through probably over 2" for the airport today.

What's the record for the day?

1.85" from 1905.

Wonderful! Love to see the heavy rainfall amounts over DFW. For the southern half of the state your turn may be coming soon… Also more severe weather potentially tomorrow. Main threat is large hail.

Ended with 3.17. Impressive. Might add some to this maybe.

Hate to be the resident debbie downer but the HRRR doesn't look good for the Hill Country through Friday. Some relief for other parts of south TX and SETX though.

Tonight's activity will likely be mainly east of Austin and tomorrow mainly south of SA. The Friday event should mainly be late in the day and the HRRR doesnt go out that far yet.

I like HRRR. Storms are weakening below severe limits as they approach in the early morning, many areas get rain without lightning and thunder, always appreciated at that time of the day. A quarter inch or maybe a tad below average in Harris County, a few screw zones, but a few lucky people getting over three quarters of an inch.

Keeping an eye on the storms E of I-35 between AUS and ACT. IN the tornado watch, HRRR STPS above 5 in spots in the area.

Luckily so far the tornado threat east of here hasn't panned. Storm mode has been mcs with cold pool.

Meteorologist Chris Nunley on Facebook: “ DEVELOPING: A temporary patch to the Lake Waxhoma Dam [Osage County, Oklahoma] completed back in May of 2021 has failed. Water is now pouring through and underneath the damaged section of the spillway which could lead to unpredictable downstream flooding. If you live downstream of the dam, stay alert to the latest and listen to all orders from local officials if issued. As of 4:00PM Wednesday, the Barnsdall Mayor says no one is currently in danger.”

Rainy month in Oklahoma for sure…

Storm has developed just south of SA near Pleasanton and another trying to go up in south Bexar County. Big hail in progress already.

Well the rainfall record has been officially broken in WF. It's now the wettest April on record with 10.32 inches of rain.

OKC's record also fell as well, I forgot how much, but it is just under a foot.

Well that didn’t last very long. Tennis ball size hail at one point though.

Can't seem to get anything to happen over Travis County. Specially the southside... It's very frustrating.

Quite the rain storm yesterday. 4.20" IMBY in Longview. Had a few dime size hailstones too.

[TomballEd]

As is common around here, most of the Houston area missed significant rain yesterday and while 11Z HRRR shows a few strong storms well N of the Metro, nothing is immediate.

Pretty standard what looks like the promise of decent rains S of I-10 in Texas on the models evaporate as the events get closer. Even HRRR showed a decent, if weakening, line of storms through the HOU metro, which of course didn't materialize.

This was yesterday morning

[TomballEd]

12Z HRRR suggests some isolated supercells near I-35 between ACT and AUS.

STP is low, super cell composite is high and VIL suggests some hail. ~10 years ago forecast or actual VIL as a hail indicator was commonly used.

[txtwister78]

12z hi-res models are a little more bullish on storms firing across SC TX today specifically late afternoon or early evening depending on the model of choice. Wouldn't be all that surprised to see an SPC upgrade today based on that with perhaps a larger significant hail threat designation.
