Sure, whatever. There will be a bit of wind and a dark cloud. Better put my lawn chairs in the garage!

while I would be cool with a new roof/windows, I replaced both my wife's and my car this year. Not especially interested in doing that again this year

You have a point. Frankie hasn't made a video yet so as far as I'm concerned it's going to be sunny all around.

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

I'm having a house re-roofed as we speak, but for old age, not storm damage. We've been shooting the shit with the supervisor every morning. He's actually a sub contractor for the roofing company we hired and apparently the guys working under him are also subs. Talking to the guy who delivered the materials, sounds like he's contract too. Pretty soon you figure out why it's $12k to roof a house.

I waited around last night for the crew to wrap up so I could lock the gates and go home. I walked up and said "hey, how's it going" and they just looked at me like I was speaking Swahili.

Cuanto tiempo mas?

Then I get just astonished looks.

Manana siete?

Then I finally get them to tell me 7. Maybe they are from El Salvador, who the fuck knows what's going on.

I'm going to go with an emergency event to manage.  I'm just glad I get to park in a concrete garage at work, at least it will be spared.

The current Storm Prediction Center forecast puts DFW in an 'Enhanced' (30%) chance category for 'Significant Severe' weather tomorrow.

That presumes there won't be significant daytime heating west of Ft Worth along the forecasted dryline - but:

Should the cap 'break' tomorrow afternoon I'd guess the 'Enhanced' category (30%) will be raised to the 'Moderate' category (45%).
If there is significant heating ahead of the dryline it may well 'break the cap' and allow for significant thermal convection which will allow the unbridled formation of supercell thunderstorms due to the denigrated cap allowing strong updrafts and the formation of cyclic hailstones.

I'm hearing hail, baseball size or larger depending on what happens with the cap tomorrow evening. The tornado threat is only at 5% currently, but that is subject to change too.


Stay aware. Baseball sized hail will kill you deader than hell.

Stay aware!
Stay safe!

My power was knocked out about 11:00 Saturday morning. I got power back late that night, but Spectrum just now got my internet back up.

They had it fixed for about an hour yesterday afternoon, but then they lost the entire node, so I've been without internet for 5 days.

Oh boy!!! We are in the middle of having our roof, outdoor furniture, and a newish garden shed all replaced, and one diesel pickup that remained out in the driveway repaired after that big hail storm whizzed through Oklahoma about three weeks ago. Maybe when I get home the new roof will be finished just in time for THIS storm......

We're in the big middle of the ENH mess. We already had the house hit by a tornado a few (9-10) years ago, so hopefully we are done with that nonsince. We came out of that one just fine. Don't want to do it again.

In the mid 1900's the folks here in Texas would simply call this weather.    If you live in north Texas you don't need to invest in a 30 year roof.  Chances are sometime over a 5 year span there will be a hailstorm that will require insurance companies to pay for a replacement roof.  Often a good hailstorm will also cause drastic price reductions on the price of new vehicles.

Just keep in mind that is all stuff, take care of your family and animals.  Our Spring storm season is only beginning.

I looked at some weather sites but don't see a time when this might hit tomorrow.  Noon, afternoon, evening?

Edited:  I found it.  At this time, it looks like early evening just west of DFW then we are gonna get hammered around 8-9 PM.  Kids should be able to get home from school with no problem

Baseball sized hail and LARGER. At highway speeds that shit will come through your windshield and kill you.

This shit is supposed to start up around 5PM, so that would put you smack dab in the middle of the high risk area somewhere in OK. 90% of OK is in the high risk area.

I've had weak sauce nothing burgers make me replace my roof a couple of times in the past 10 years - and provide a couple buddies who own a major roofing company and another that owns a big body shop with the dough to pay their country club dues and buy million dollar weekend homes at Possum Kingdom.

Mostly a wind event up here near KC. Maybe some small hail but lapse rates, STDiv didn't support big stuff.  Not enough support for SC development.
