Big line of storms with hail ranging from quarter to pingpong size hail heading east from DFW

Any chance SPC goes for an ENH upgrade?

Honestly it's hard for me to get excited about any of this since my grad school abolished snow days thanks to Zoom. I understand why so many Northerners hate this stuff now lol

Got a rumble of thunder out by the airport. Pretty much all rain here so far

Meanwhile the cold front is *well* ahead of schedule:

Bigtime hailer went through the northern DFW 'burbs about an hour back

First line petered out and looks like second line taking over

Yeah the line blew up quick that's for sure

50/30 Hail probs on the Severe Tstorm watch just issued. Something to watch

Was gonna say today may have fizzled but tomorrow looks worth watching

D3 slight issued

Finally got it here. Huge flakes at a fast clip. Gorgeous

Yeah idk how DFW is gonna hit 2-3 inches of sleet and snow

Still all sleet here. Not sure snow makes it at this point...

Still almost all sleet by DFW

Precip coming down quick by DFW

Where did you see this?

If I'm in far northwest Dallas county and didn't lose power last year, should I head up north to McKinney where my dad has a generator even though the icing is likely to be worse there?

FWD mentioned in the short term that they nudged down ice totals and explained their reasoning there
