I'd probably go to 116 and Meadow St on the north side of town in the fields. Really good visibility over there.

Not bad at all

That cell over W ORH county seems to be the best thing going right now. Maybe it could clip HubbDave but probably skirt him just to the south. Seems like we needed a little relief to promote cumulus growth. Valleys just not cutting it in spite of the pooling dews.

If I had to chase I'd probably take my chances with the surface based instability in the valley S of HFD and just hope something pops. Could bust completely but higher upside IMO. Often further north has better dynamics but I just don't see them today.

I can't get excited at all for setups with no shear and New England style high instability You want to give me >4k mucape pulsers maybe I'll raise an eyebrow, but otherwise meh

That's been happening for a couple weeks now. Not sure if it's the result of DDOS attacks (these govt servers just get hammered all the time) or some broken/overloaded proxy servers that need replacing. I kind of suspect that the cybersecurity scanning tools (tenable, etc) that are employed constantly are almost acting like DOS attacks with the port scans and the proxy server can't handle all the incoming requests. The repeating pattern of a couple minutes of down time, and then fine for several hours suggests it.

They got hit then too. The 2013 storm I think was the largest tornado on record and killed those chasers but some think the 2011 tornado was up there with the strongest tornadoes on record. Tossed a 1.9 million pound oil rig.

Don't forget Irene. And not just here either. Super outbreak 4/27. Joplin 5/22. Major outbreak 5/24 (El Reno, et al).

Get industrial vinegar, otherwise yeah that should do the trick. And thank you for not spraying roundup.

51, thin overcast, breeze

First thunderclap of the day

After a pretty extended period of dry and often sunny that line came through with heavy rain. Still pouring. No thunder however.

1.5" overnight currently in a gap with the sun out and some stadium effect going on. Little swirly low level stuff and very dark clouds to the south

we could really use some severe threats to discuss

Only 59 but amazing how strong and warm that sun feels

Sorry Steve

Miss Texas yet?

Must be nice to be a southern Italian

Yeah. Plus 2.5" hail a bit NW of there in Wise Co. I've been seeing it out the window every few mins. Big Ben kids... Parliament (kudos to anyone getting that reference)

I love these laser disdrometers for that reason. Plus they can estimate liquid water content of snow pretty well without taking a core. But the flip side is I just dropped 11 grand for that plus the data logger and the enclosure. So not really practical.

Range folding literally bisected the little "couplet", or at any rate, g2g shear region, on ENX. Box wasn't range folded I don't think but you're right that the radar is pretty useless for what could be, theoretically speaking, some low level spinup. As for me I've been in a holding pattern around storms in the DFW area for the last hour. Glad we had a lot of gas or we'd have diverted to Little Rock by now.

We were mid 20s 5/18/23. Wiped out the peach crop for the season. You had to be close to freezing there.

Some garden variety storms around... nothing exciting but a breeze helps to tolerate gross humidity

That's why we like to go to Truckee, or Fraser CO in June and July. Wake up to frost and spike up low 80s and strong sun. Today was perfection as far as Spring goes.
