Yay, I love large hail and possible tornados



1 PM map change



1 AM map change



8 AM map change



  ...Southern Plains...

A moist air mass will already be in place across the region beneath a well-developed EML. Resultant capping should preclude thunderstorm development across the region until the afternoon when the combination of daytime heating, large-scale ascent, boundary-layer mixing and surface convergence act to overcome the convective inhibition. Narrowing down the best location for initial development is difficult given the prevalence of surface boundaries. Initiation is also possible within the open warm sector. Once convective initiation occurs, quick and strong updraft development is anticipated, with the potential for very large hail (i.e. greater than 2" in diameter). Increasing thunderstorm coverage is expected into the evening as large-scale ascent strengthens and the entire system shifts eastward.

Primary severe threat is large hail. A tornado threat exists, but weakness in the flow between 850 and 700 mb (resulting from the preceding shortwave trough and overall positive tilt of the upper trough) cast some doubt towards the robustness of low-level mesocyclone organization. Damaging wind gusts are also likely, particularly later in the period as a convective line organizes along the front.

They’re predicting 2”+ tomorrow. So there’s a chance you’ll get more of those.

Tornadoes are so rare per square mile that I don't worry about it.

Hail is much more plentiful and leaves a lasting impression

I remember a long time ago when we had 4’ hail drifts in the Panhandle in June.  This is nothing new or out of the ordinary for this time of year.

Still not enough where I am to worry about.

Wind - yes
Hail - yes
Floods - I keep my eyes open, but not too concerned

Same type of area/climate.  Only without the mountains to break stuff up.

New Mexico has had some crazy hail drifts in recent memory too.

We don't get it as bad up here, but my coworker used to laugh at me for unassing work to get the car in the garage before storms hit. I say used to because guess who had to buy a new car awhile back?

The only thing worse than hail is the gypsy roof contractors that flock like locusts to effected areas.

They've taken to spamming the local Facebook groups, too. Dudes are definitely...motivated.
