Severe Weather Threat May 17-19, 2025

[AJS]

That Ranger, TX storm has Fort Worth in the cross hairs.

If the tornado-warned cell near Ranger, TX, maintains its course and tornado-producing intensity, then it could threaten the DFW Metroplex in the next 2-4 hours or so.

 

[Tanner]

Yeah, these Kansas and Oklahoma cells are going to be our main players as we head into the night. These will be your longer track sig tors of the event.

 

[Ozonelayer]

Oh no.

Oh no.

I do like Ryan Hall and what he does (his "Y'all Squad" stuff is great), but yeah, his bot has been verbally roasting random people who comment down the past few weeks... distracts from the actual tornadoes and is unnecesary.

Of course, he's been trying to tone that down when the weather situation gets serious, and limit that stuff to relative lulls in the weather. Of course, it seems that the chat would rather disagree with that (idiots, the lot of them!).

Thought it barely lifted... damage doesn't seen too bad though.

Holy mother.

Oh no.

It's got energy to feed on, doesn't it...

Those two cells in NW Oklahoma are really trying. If they could merge they would be off to the races

That Ranger, TX storm is intensifying a bit on velocity.

 

[Beachwalker]

Well - the DFW metroplex could eventually be under the gun.

Also, the constant WeatherWise promotion is what ticks me off the most, but back on-topic.

They have an STP of 13 which is absolutely unbelievable. I have no idea why they aren't dropping tornadoes.

 

[TornadoFan]

Holy mother.

What an absolute chonker.

 

[Ozonelayer]

Eastward shift it seems on the northern cell in OK.

Guessing the SPC sees something different right now. They've yet to extend the tornado watch further east.
That could change, but still waiting to see.

Does look like it turned to the right a little bit.

Let's hope that it weakens before it could even get to the Metroplex's suburbs!
