PDS tornado warning in the Sulphur area states that “First responders need to prepare for additional tornado impacts immediately!” I have never seen such wording in a tornado warning before. They had another tornado go through earlier, so that goes to show you how dire this situation could be.

The last of the visible satellite is showing a decent initiation attempt along the Red River with this storm. Obviously the best severe potential is further west, but it still needs to be watched closely. I’m pretty sure these initiation attempts might be associated with the LLJ given their south-to-north movement.

The storm that has gone up over the Tioga, TX and Whitesboro, TX areas north of DFW needs to be watched closely. It is not (yet) severe, but the reflectivity and echo tops look to be increasing. If it can strengthen as it moves into southern Oklahoma, it is completely isolated.

It looks like there might be some attempts at storm initiation over the DFW area, but I’m not sure if something will emerge from that.

The Eppley livecam on WOWT was just hit by a tornado that touched down at Eppley.

Looks like some of the neighborhoods on the north side of Elkhorn, around Arbor View Elementary, were hit, based on the movement of the velocity signature and debris ball. EDIT: WOWT live stream just mentioned gate-to-gate shear of around 200 MPH, 100 in one direction and 105 in the other.

A very concerning scenario unfolding in the western suburbs of the Omaha metro.

The storm between Springtown and Boyd bears watching as it moves into the DFW metro area. The hail intensity on radar seems to be increasing.

The High Risk on March 2, 2012 did get into Ohio, with the 15% hatched (and MDT) encompassing the Columbus metro, but the sigtor threat didn't really materialize north of the Ohio River Valley in the state of Ohio. I'm getting flashbacks to that day looking at the model runs and SPC outlook, although SPC currently has the greatest risk for tomorrow outlined northeast of where they had the highest risk on 3/2/12. It looks like this CIPS analog run is showing 3/2/2012 (3/3/2012 at 0z) as the top analog for tomorrow, interestingly enough.

We have a tornado warning in the Frisco, TX area now. Somewhat broad rotation but it bears close watching; the hail is a huge threat regardless of any tornadic activity, though.

It’s also pretty interesting to see all of this happening near a radar site, too. The storms over the Kansas City metro also bear watching; the atmosphere there (per SPC Mesoanalysis) also seems primed for potential tornadic activity. Fortunately those storms seem to be behaving themselves (rotation-wise), but I did notice some weak rotation around Shawnee. It’s not really “behaving” though; there’s a hailstorm in the KC metro now.

Looks like they have. This looks like some serious rotation near Alta Vista, KS:

It’s 75 here in Fort Worth today! Absolutely beautiful. Seems like we’re expected to see highs in the 70s through Thursday, with rain (and thunderstorms) returning Friday.

Tornado confirmed near Coldspring, TX, per tornado warning text and KHOU livestream. EDIT: spotter-confirmed.

I agree. The center of the eye looks to be onshore now.
