Roughly what time this afternoon can we expect things to start kicking off (if it verifies)?

What I seen from the local NWS offices is from noon to late this evening

Baseball size hail is a hazard with this storm.

Katie......Where have I heard that name before?

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Tornado probabilities back down to 5% at the 20Z outlook. Frontal undercutting expected to remain a hindrance.

However the cell near Mineral Wells, TX is discrete, appears to be deviating a little to the right of other storms and is on a track to threaten the DFW metro, with significant large hail at the very least.

Really nasty supercell west of Ft. Worth by Mineral Wells and Weatherford, crash course through the DFW metro.

Amazing structure on the storm west of Dallas.

Amazing structure on the storm west of Dallas.

I guarantee you that is going to drop a tube. No doubt about it. Only question is when, and how strong.

The warning text said "tennis ball sized hail" and yeah...

 

[Austin Dawg]

My SIL, daughter, and granddaughters are just north of there in their RV in Lake Eufaula, OK. Luckily, they are north of the worst part of this. Grandma is not happy with the radar images showing her as I try to keep an eye on them.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Seems like March goes hand in hand with major DFW hailstorms like it does with college hoops.

[TornadoFan]

Tornado warned now.

That’s trying to develop right on top of Forth Worth. Not good.
