Storm in Tillman County had a nice hail spike on an earlier volume scan. Now 1" hail reported. Nice BWER too. Wish I was on that storm!

[Jason Harris]

Good I didn't bet any money. :) Nothing but this quarter hail: 1948 100 6 SW GRANDFIELD TILLMAN OK 3417 9876 (OUN)

Cell in far SE Palo Pinto County now showing nice notch w/ TVS at 3:03CST

1st TOR warning of the day, sw of the DFW metroplex. Reflexivity doesn't look all that impressive but velocity has been showing deep, persistent rotation. Its current path will take it over the northern suburbs. Lets hope it doesn't deviate to the right, shear profiles are conducive to strong tornadoes. (18z special sounding (http://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/soundings/08111018_OBS/last.gif), current near-storm sfc ob shows 70/61 with 15kt out of se) Any news streams out of DFW?

EDIT: Confirmed tornado in sw KS near Johnson. Mike U is on this storm.

Nice supercell heading into Parker County, TX now tornado warned. Only moving 25MPH to the NE. The velocity couplet doesn't look too strong as of now, but the supercell is nice and isolated tracked right along the warm front. Another cell just SW of that one that may be the next player.

Dang I hope some of you Texas chasers are getting some good stuff!

Any news streams out of DFW?

Didn't know if anyone knew about this site but it's a great online resource tool: www.newslink.org

It has all the online links of local TV stations, newspapers, and radio stations arranged according to state.

Edit: Very nice backing of the winds near Gradbury, Tx. Wind Speed: SE 14 G 26 MPH

[Michael O'Keeffe]

The cold core setup has panned out in classic fashion. Mike Umschied is currently watching a large tornado west of Ulysses, KS. A mini string of pearls looks to form within the next few hours from the KS/CO border into the OK Pan.

But the one of the storms W of DFW is now tornado warned, and the one to the south of it is getting well organized....

No surface-based instability there - so it's not likely those will tap into the BL. As a result, large hail should be the primary hazards with those storms - bill

[afischer]

Typically impressive CC set-up. T/td spreads were about 3F near that storm... I'm guessing about any tornado out there today will look like a biggie!

MOD NOTE: Thread is being moved. It's in the wrong area. This goes in the Forecasts & Nowcasts area, not Post-Storm Discussion...lol.

The storms in the dallas area are training from southwest to northeast. It appears that flooding is going to be a main concern as they continue to follow this track and more storms develop to the southwest. Storm totals are already approaching 3-4inches in many areas.
Flash flood warnings are posted all along the line.

Anyone check out the Fort Worth NWSFO current warning and synopsis graphic on their main page? Its different from any other I have seen and really well put together.

This is becoming a crisis situation in the metroplex. High water rescues are occuring. Fire Dept really busy tonight. Take a look at FWS radar and storm totals.
