On June 24th, Dallas/Ft Worth Airport had 3.84" of rain, which breaks a daily record. 7.93" of rain this month.

Fort Worth Airport had 2.91" since Friday morning. That's quite a bit of rain.

107-110 in Texas. heat indices over 100 covered an area from central KS down to Mexico.

Dallas Executive Airport (KRBD) had 1.10" of rain today and has already had 5.30" of rain this month, before today.

1 storm report in Oklahoma. What a tragedy

This is about 1-2 months worth of precipitation

tornado and hailstorm at nearly the same location as yesterday

Some giant hail near Hale, CO, A tornado, too, reported by storm chaser

Today's radar looks almost exactly like tomorrow's radar image could. Today's 01z radar vs. 3km NAM prediction for 02z (25 hrs in the future)

There are still some severe-warned supercells ongoing at 11:40PM mountain/ 12:40PM central.

Actually, I am a little impressed now, that enough water and ice is in this tornado-warned storm that the level-3 nexrad algorithms say that there's 4.0" hail

Looking back 18 years in the past, to a deadly, historic storm of May 3, 1999. Loop of this radar is at US Tornadoes twitter feed.

Tornadoes seem to hate Oklahoma (again) this season. Back in 2014, a grand total of 13 tornadoes it Oklahoma through the whole calendar year, i.e. much below normal for that state. tornadoes haven't come much north of I-70 in April

I got that exact same error at about 5:00 (6:00 central). Just reload it in 5 minutes or something.

For Friday afternoon, the 00z GFS has fairly significant winds from 925mb - 700mb, leading to SRH values over 450 m2/s2 north of Fort Worth. This may be the main (remaining) reason to consider a higher tornado potential. And the GFS may be too high with the shear there. The NAM has much lower SRH, like 150 m2/s2. The 00z NAM (12km and 3km) have very cool air in Oklahoma, owing to high amounts of morning rainfall. I think it's still possible there could be something like an enhanced hail/wind outlook for North Texas and the Red River.

possible tornado near Woodward, OK, which was, I guess yesterday's storm chaser target. Or something like that.

Possible tornado near Dawson, Nebraska. Pretty good velocities seen by KTWX radar there.

Sometimes you just get 3000 J/kg of CAPE near a dryline and then something awesome happens, when 0-6km shear is a little better than previously thought. Yesterday, I was thinking, "Friday is going to be one of those oops days where there's a marginal risk on the day-2 and then it'll turn out that some chaser catches some cool brief tornado." But I didn't know where. And I didn't know it would be -that- interesting or -that- wide. And I'm not out in Kansas driving around for this stuff. Here is a HRRR sounding just south of the storm at 00z. The SRH increased quickly (I believe) near the storm. Hope this helps. Were the 1.5km winds really -that- high?

now there's rotation over the exact same area as previous tornado report(s). The NWS does not have a tornado warning for this.

I might have to go to the NCDC radar archive after this storm is over, so I can see it all on my GRLevel3 screen. Were these tornadoes known to have tracked over many farm structures?

I just started looking at radar, and I can only grab data that is less than 1 hour old. Did the storm cycle, and produce a 2nd tornado southwest of the original? Not sure. Pretty incredible radar images.

NWS San Antonio radar has detected some bats (as well as KGRK radar)

possible tornado near Garrison, MO

The 00z has 42 degrees in Toledo with over 1000 J/kg of MUCAPE. That could be a pretty nasty situation with cold temps, thunder, rain, small hail.

The SPC has a day-3 Enhanced outlook for Abilene TX to near Lubbock and Midland-Odessa. The NAM and GFS show that dew points will be in the 60-65F range with 500mb winds around 45-50 kt in advance of an upper level trough.
