    Can confirm from experience, 80 MPH straight-line winds fortuantely don't cause much nearly as much destruction with bare trees vs. full leaf out.

    Severe T'Storm Watch in effect until 10pm... https://x.com/NWSSPC/status/1906457674717212685?t=XgQU6Y1_P2H4Dk-JDbKrGA&s=19

    No one can hype up an event like Roger...

    DFW did officially make it to 90*F for the first time this year. Also, it's the hottest day of the year, thus far. Not quite a record high though (that's 97*F). DFW has another shot at hitting 90*F on Saturday.

    DFW has a shot at its first 90*F day on Tuesday.

    That's definitely what all signs point to. But not before parts of TX get a bit of drought relief.

    I'm pretty sure it was just another PV stretch (the final one for the season as the PV dissipates) which don't always translate to severe / lasting cold spells. SSWE, like Polar Vortex in the context of winter storms, is grossly overused terminology in weather discussions (but especilly by one Met in particular).

    I'll take intermittent haboobs over days on end of lake-effect clouds and wrap-around stratocumulus in the Spring/Fall. #BlessTheSunbelt

    Do you hear me complaining? #BestClimo

    Unless the post-storm surveys indicate otherwise, the SPC has those spotter reports on the record as tornadoes (total of 9 reports yesterday).

    There's also the whole Skywarn Training initiative where once you actually attend a full session in-person to learn all the technical ins & outs with storm reporting, they'd give you a "private" number & email number and implore you not to share it with anyone. But of course, humans being humans, people share it any way.

    There's no foolproof way for the NWS to control who reports something and who doens't. That said, the onus should be on the NWS to discern the legitimacy of a report before confirming it.

    The transluscence of the dust with dense cloud cover is something...

    Well of course, for enhancement, the overall background environment still has to be favorable for convective development.

    I doubt it If anything, dust can enhance convection via cloud seeding (as we saw this past weekend). That said, I think there was suspicion all along that the RAP/HRRR were overzealous with the moisture return (and thus the ceiling).

    The Blizzard Warnings are definitely verifying out there today just west/NW of Omaha.

    There is some indication that things could turn "wetter" for a period towards the end of March / early April in parts of the Southern Plains / SW. Likely nothing drought-busting by any means, but any litttle bit will help before an early season heat ridge starts to build in after the first week of April...

    With this current storrm, Omaha has seen the most Blizzard Warnings ever to start a year (3). And there's only been 1 other year (2018) where they saw 4. It's wild too considering Omaha was well on track for futility through the first 2/3rds of winter...
