Tornado Season 2021

[RoyGBiv]

We're about an hour away from a TOR watch being issued here....
Beautiful sunny day here. 90'F. And a cold front approaching from the West.

Second round of supercells reportedly possible BEHIND the front, around 10PM in DFW area. Kind of unusual.

If you're in North Texas, stay weather aware through midnight.
East TX might be in the bullseye through morning.... See graphicast link below.

AN ATYPICAL SETUP THIS EVENING WILL ALSO LEAD TO A POTENTIAL FOR
SEVERE STORMS BEHIND THE FRONT. GIVEN CONTINUED STEEP LAPSE RATES
AND HIGH AMOUNTS OF INSTABILITY, A FEW ELEVATED SUPERCELLS CAPABLE
OF LARGE HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTH TEXAS AFTER AROUND
10PM.

@RoyGBiv Thank you. I can see the front rolling in to Dallas. Looks dark out west. Vehicles are under cover with threat of hail.

Storms are firing up. We are at my parents house because we normally visit on Monday and they have a shelter.


After spending all day cleaning out my shop, breathing who knows what and sweating like a mad man, I really hope it doesn’t get blown away.

Stay safe Newbie. The worst looking TX storm at the moment is that cell that’s north of Blum and South of Rio Vista.
Watching some live-streams there’s a decent wall cloud, but nothing on the ground right now on this storm.

As of right now we have active TOR warnings in Texas Oklahoma Illinois and Maryland

Under Tornado watch, but not even raining in N Dallas at the moment. Heavy rain came through about 7.

[RoyGBiv]

Fortunately a non event here (so far), but, lots of locals hit by hail and a few tornadoes, some ongoing still, to our South and East.

Stay safe out there folks.

Seeing reports on twitter that a tornado on the ground crossed I-35 between Waxahachie and Foreston and caused some serious damage and did what tornadoes do to cars and trucks.

I think I mentioned this up thread, But, FWIW, Radarscope is my favorite app for tracking severe weather.
Worth the price for the paid version if you live in a place where weather can be fierce.

Following that on the weather service feed (not public).
There's also some storms building again north of Abilene that may impact us later tonight.
Hoping this tracks north OF us.

I’ll second this recommendation. Our local TV mets also use the premium version as a backup/double verification system just in case something happens to the commercial radar feeds the station pays for.
