   Areas affected...parts of north Texas

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 82...

   Valid 100121Z - 100415Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 82
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Sporadic cells capable of large hail remain possible
   within WW 82. A squall line is expected to back build southwestward
   along the front later this evening, with damaging wind potential
   into north Texas.

   DISCUSSION...The 00Z FWD sounding shows strong instability, with
   very steep lapse rates aloft and around 3500 J/kg MLCAPE. The
   hodograph is mostly straightline, supporting splitting cells in the
   Dallas area.

   A strong cold front is currently surging southeast across southern
   OK and into northwest TX. A squall line is taking shape over
   southern OK, and further back building is expected as the strong
   convergence interacts with the more unstable air mass south of the
   Red River. Therefore, in addition to a hail threat in the short
   term, a damaging wind threat may take shape over the next several
   hours. It is difficult to determine how far southwest the squall
   line will build, but portions of the I-35 corridor may be at risk
   this evening.

That one across southeast Dallas County looked amazing from 25 miles away in far west Plano.  You had to break your neck to tilt back far enough to see the tops around 7:45 tonight.

Kind of wish I had gone earlier, but took some video of lightning and storm pics for the first time about 20 minutes ago. It's not really post-worthy, but I'm just glad I was able to go out for the first time this year to see a storm.

Does anyone find odd the lack of any tornado watches covering a 10% hatched area on the convective outlook? Especially since they routinely issue red boxes for 5% contours.

Well, I noticed a lot of SVR watches over the 10% but a TOR watch just got issued for basically the 10% hatched area. Still also found the earlier watches a bit unusual, but given how I can really only recall one tornado actually confirmed at this point in time, I guess it was the correct decision overall. Hoping we don't have any strong tornadoes overnight given that the ingredients are still favorable over southern LA/MS where the new tornado watch just got issued, going until 7 AM.

LOL, they must have issued that right after I posted and went to bed. Sounds like there was a destructive tornado at Palmetto, LA although it doesn't show as a tornado on the SPC LSR page...yet.

Reports of 8 homes destroyed (manufactured/mobile homes?), 1 fatality, and multiple injuries from there :(

Yeah, I was just watching the aerial video on that linked from Talkweather. Based on the street he named and looking at Google Maps, it looks like it actually missed Palmetto proper to the south. There's a school, post office, two churches, and several businesses in addition to many more homes there.
