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. View Quote |

I'm on the western edge which means I should be okay, but in fact will be wrecked.

Tornadoes are so rare per square mile that I don't worry about it.
Hail is much more plentiful and leaves a lasting impression |

Ill be sure to park in the covered parking garage tomorrow. far corner spot.

I hate these color codes charts (colorblind!). Is Houston in the MRGL or MDT?

I'm out of town for work and in the zone.
If I went home I'd still be in the zone. |

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.

Evan Andrews on Fox 4 said possible Tennis ball sized hail tomorrow
|

Enhanced doesn't sound too good to me....but that's where we're at tomorrow. Right on the bottom edge.

Right in the bullseye. I guess I won't be driving the Mustang tomorrow.

You DFW folks seem to get hit with way more than your fair share of this stuff.

Most folks are completely oblivious. My ex would drive around and then be like "oh there was a tornado 5 miles away?"

Love Texas, but man I hate this part of it during this part of the year.
Fucking hail. Hopefully I can get my car home and in the garage before the angry hand of God totals the fucker. |
