April 12, 20223 yr NWS has upped the chances for storms in ATX a bit, threw in a slightly higher chance of tornadoes, but mostly east/northeast of ATX. Large damaging storms can still be expected here/there Williamson Co. and north into and past Dallas. Been watching the line, southern end is popcorning up/down, but I expect more development as the dry line is moving into more favorable conditions, and the cap is holding although not strongly. If those storms start growing on the south end, I'll be back. I'd say main diff. from this a.m. is storms more likely thru Austin, but even with more severity possible, still scattered in our area. Still up the 35 corridor is the bullseye.

April 12, 20223 yr Nothing more than a gut feeling, but for some reason I feel like this is one of those storms where we’re not expected to get anything, then all of a sudden we’re getting destroyed
April 12, 20223 yr Big storm just popping up N. of SAT... that's where the (largely imaginary for now) line is going to form up NE and if possible on us. Next hour will tell. Stuff getting nasty up 35 right now.

April 12, 20223 yr @Brisketexan wife I think likes to be in the wild weather? Maybe? I am kinda into this site now (in addition to the old ass CORAD one for Texas):
April 12, 20223 yr Yes. I'm leaving to meet/eat near Barton Springs with my daughter who's on the way from Dallas back to San Antonio. Yer on yer own. Zero hour is now → 7 p.m. or so. So far the cap is holding around us (ATX), but could bust open. Storms could form very quickly on top of us. Good luck, we're all counting on you.

I am kinda into this site now (in addition to the old ass CORAD one for Texas): She's already past Carls Corner, so I think she's gonna beat 'em to McKinney. Then, she can hunker down with her friends. As for me, I have an appointment I have to walk to and from this evening. So, that could be fun.

April 12, 20223 yr Dammit, I'm gonna have to tune into Jim Spencer's weather boner broadcast, aren't I?
April 12, 20223 yr Looks like the CINH dropped to almost non existent on the last sounding near DFW area and there’s a ton of CAPE at all levels, if those storms get there the environment is very primed.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
April 12, 20223 yr I HATE it when there's no CINH and tons of CAPE. That's the WORST. What is it, again?

April 12, 20223 yr You made that up, right? CiNH = convection inhibition or inhibitors, Cape is convective available potential energy over 1500 is good enough for supercell development these are reading 2-3k,

April 12, 20223 yr Also I believe and Phd can correct me if I’m wrong but storms can and do break through the capping inversion and when they do they tend to be strong and rapidly intensifying.
April 12, 20223 yr https://www.kwtx.com/2022/04/12/watch-live-severe-weather-coverage-central-texas/ Live look at Flat, which just had to be evacuated for a fire a couple weeks back.

You have to be the one to hold the line tonite. Phd said we are on our own because he’s got shit to do.
April 12, 20223 yr That storm just to the south of it is rotating too just outside TempleSent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Lol I’m nowhere near PHD just something I like and read a lot about im good with the basics That degree is very hard and requires a lot of math and im not going to OU for school even if they’re by far the best at itSent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

April 12, 20223 yr This certainly looks like a lot more than the "40% coverage" that was projected for North Texas. Unless this breaks up somehow don't see who is missing this completely.
April 12, 20223 yr Huge tornado on kxanLooks like a rotating funnel for now but it’s huge if it touches down it’s gonna be significant
