New tornado warning in effect for McKinney and NE Collin County. Rotation signature and small "hook" roughly over US 75 and the Sam Rayburn Tollway. EDIT: strong winds and almost-horizontal rain are now hitting my location in west Fort Worth.

And here comes Round 2. There's already been so much damage that I hope things don't get worse, but this line is turning quite severe pretty rapidly.

So far, from what I've heard and seen from videos, this tornado was a stovepipe rather than a wedge. Some of the traffic backups, of course, would extend outside of the damaged area. The question will be where the damage path is within that blue area. That's not to say you can't get damage well away from the visible tornado itself (since the width of the tornadic winds can extend outside that) or even straight-line wind damage from a rear-flank downdraft.

Definitely a significant tornado for sure. The monetary damages will probably be quite high as this tornado moved through an affluent neighborhood (Preston Hollow area), but less so than if this tornado had moved through a major commercial district (such as the one at 635 and the Tollway). I just hope that everyone in the path is okay, though hearing reports of building collapses leaves me at least somewhat pessimistic. The northernmost area of DFW (Denton, Frisco, etc.) was actually under the enhanced and hatched risk, so it was close.

PDS tornado warning continued for NE Dallas County and SE Collin County for a tornado over Richardson. There are now two (!) rotation signatures, one over Richardson and the other one over Garland.

New SPC MD suggests that an "intense" tornado may be ongoing: https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md2091.html

Confirmed tornado over Love Field area per WFAA live broadcast, with tornadic debris signature just NW of the the Park Cities. That could rack up a lot of damage pretty quickly depending on its strength. EDIT: it seems that there is a debris ball. PDS tornado warning now in effect. This is getting to be quite a serious situation.

Tornado warning now in effect for northern Dallas County, including the Park Cities and Garland.

Looks to be a hook (possibly) trying to form on the radar over Southlake. That storm seems to be intensifying too. EDIT: new SPC MD seems to suggest that then environment is favorable for tornadoes, though fortunately these storms seem to be struggling to show more significant rotation: https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md2090.html

A hatched tornado risk area is now present on the new SPC outlook within most of the 10% area (in NE TX from just north of DFW, SE OK, and W AR). EDIT: and there is now a tornado warning west of La Grange, much further south along I-10.

Looks like storm initiation may be starting SW of DFW (around Stephenville) based on radar and satellite imagery.

Just keep in mind that West Yellowstone's climate is subarctic (by virtue of its elevation), so it will get colder than you are used to in the winter. At your longitude, you would have to get into far northern Ontario or Quebec before you found a subarctic climate, although West Yellowstone would still be (on average) warmer in the winter than those locations are. Though in terms of climatic extremes, West Yellowstone has recorded the coldest temperature of any populated community in the lower 48 states. The climate in somewhere like Rexburg, ID or Idaho Falls would probably be more manageable, though the surroundings are less scenic.

I had a tree uprooted in my west Fort Worth neighborhood.

Area of rotation is to my north (I'm in west Fort Worth).

Is that cell southwest of Mineral Wells trying to develop some rotation by chance? There might be a couplet near the Palo Pinto Creek Reservoir, though the storm is non-severe at the moment. EDIT: at least it looked like one for a couple of frames on the radar loop. EDIT 2: Storm may now be developing a hook near Weatherford. Still non-severe.

KCTV5 livestream might have shown something trying to tighten up around Parkville.

New tornado emergency including the Bonner Springs and western KC areas.

The 06z run of the NAM3k is presenting a somewhat-concerning scenario for the DFW area, starting with some fairly discrete storms tomorrow afternoon (they do seem to congeal into a line east of DFW with time). SPC mentions that some tornadoes are possible, provided that the thermodynamics are in place: I'm hoping this will be my last severe weather event for quite some time; climatologically north-central Texas is at the end of the severe storm season, and it is about time for the summer pattern to take hold. Especially after what happened in Dayton (not saying that will happen in DFW this time around), I'm hoping I will not need to deal with severe storms for a while.

Was about to mention that storm in SW OK as well. Definitely starting to show that "look" to it. Fairly good ingredients in place too. Wonder if SPC will issue an mesoscale discussion for that area given the storm development happening there.

That could be concerning if this storm can hold together and head towards the major population centers in NW AR like Bentonville or just north of there.

Definitely noticed the flurry of tornado warnings going up NW of Abilene (including for Hamlin) recently. I am keeping my eye on that area for sure.

Was about to mention that... NWS was putting out significant weather advisories for the areas of thunderstorm initiation. Also mentioning other areas of initiation near Fitzhugh and near Gene Autry, off to the east.

I know it's just one model, but the 0z HRRR is trying to send up storms as far south as the DFW area. I have an afternoon-shift job, and I'm starting to get concerned about the potential for severe weather here in Fort Worth. Given what I've read it seems most likely to stay in NW TX and OK (and perhaps AR given Quincy Vagell's post), and from what I can tell the other models seem to agree with that perspective. Wondering if anyone with more expertise might be able to tell if the HRRR might be trying to catch on to something, or if it is overdone for areas this far south.

Severe thunderstorm warning cancelled for the DFW area as that storm has weakened below severe limits.

Severe thunderstorm warning now up for eastern Parker and western Tarrant counties in Texas: And it's a slow mover indeed. Minimally severe at the present moment though.
