Severe WX April 1-2 (overnight) Severe Weather Event

[Cyclonic Paracosm]

Most of these storms continue to really struggle. We’ll see if the LLJ can rescue them but so far, not much to indicate tornadoes are imminent

tbf, there is a reason why we knew today was a pure overnight event for a reason, its not night yet sooo we have a grace period

That’s not completely true at all

 

[rushdude]

Y'all think a Severe Thunderstorm Watch or Tornado Watch may be issued around DFW later?

Cell near Walters has the best tornado potential eventually as it moves NE per OUN.

Actually, seconding this because of this:
Do you think these cells will be able to grow and persist in the environment. I believe the HRRR had these cells grow and then dissipate just outside of DFW. Why's that?

Northern most storm around Marlow is losing intensity.

For lack of a better phrase and excuse my French, holy f*cking excrement.

Looking like the MPAS will take a big L on this one.

If the 2024 season taught me anything, it’s don’t count Oklahoma out after dark.

However, those set ups were completely different from this one. I think at this point, you may see one supercell drop a tornado or two if it can get going, but from what I’ve seen so far this was a good call by the SPC and also why they kept their probs so low. You’ve seen discrete cells go up and intensify, but they’ve barely sniffed rotation. I think it’s safe to say that trend will continue.

Is this event cooked?

Pretty healthy storm beat Cisco, TX.

What are the chances of this storm cell and the ones around it making it to the DFW area etc...

 

[Muwx]

Storm chasers pretty much universally calling off the dogs. Seems like the high cloud cover killed this one

As was well-telegraphed before this event, the main threat zone is very localized. The "bullseye" near the KS/OK border currently looks to have the best conditions for any type of violent tornado (with 75+ 3CAPE and decent 0-3 km Lapse Rates). We'll see if that expands anymore, but it's a very small area.
