Same for the forming line southwest of Waco to at least Kingsland. That cell northwest of Abilene was almost pure purple for awhile as it crossed from Nolan to Taylor County.

WhirlingWx Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Environment directly ahead of the Ellis/Kaufman cell and the line behind it isn't too bad. SRH is nothing crazy obviously and LCLs are a little high, but there's still >3500 j/kg CAPE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine the atmosphere over northern Dallas county is pretty untapped no? "Untapped" isn't the word I would use. It was impacted by a severe warned cell earlier. That said, although things have stabilized at the surface, there's still plenty of elevated instability as mid-level lapse rates continue to steepen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Per the SPC, there were at least 2 fatalities yesterday.

I was there last night, I was told by DPS & other first responders there were no fatalities, a couple of the guys were in rough shape but everyone was conscious, breathing and talking when they were loaded up on an ambulance, everyone was expected to survive. At least that’s what I was told and I haven’t seen anything saying anyone didn’t make it, which is honestly a miracle! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
