Severe WX Severe Weather 4/24-4/26

Its worth noting that the two cells in OK are seemingly intensifying/reintensifying, with more apparent mesocyclones, hooks, tops in the 45,000-50,000 ft tall range, and the slight deepening of reflectivity values all supporting that claim.

Hm

Eh, I don't think that's safe to say especially as the supercells have been continuously developing. It'll take a bit but it's far from dead. With that being said that could be said for the Arkansas storms, they look like they're getting offed by the environment.

Some of them in the warm sector are left splits and the stuff near Ada is moving out of your best environment close to the DHB. As the LLJ ramps up, that TX cell could easily pose a threat for significant to intense tornadoes.

That Ada storm got warned and is moving SSE. Not to call this off yet totally, i do think we still have a window for something to get going.

I got "Baldy" (David of Texas Storm Chasers) up now. Local channels are still all sports

Samesies. Watching this one like a hawk — given its current path toward Denton/Tarrant/Dallas counties. Possibly a couple more hours to wait though, it seems to be slow (I ain’t gonna complain about that though!)

I thought the warm frontal boundary is moving north? Also they are definitely getting surface based, and the one west of the Ada cell is not a split.

Anyways, I'd wager Bray OK could get ugly if that merger is productive.

Now both supercells near Ada, OK are tornado warned.

Latest radar observations would prove you right regarding not to call this off totally, they did the exact thing that they need for sig to intense all hazards. Turn SSE and get mature. If these storms are breaking thru the dry air, then it's on. It's a lot more convincing right now. Due to the cloud cover, the WF is slightly stumped and isn't moving particularly far north right now.

I'm wondering if the slow speed will lead to it dying off before hitting DFW?

PDS on the TX storm.

Probably not anytime soon considering it's tops are now up to 61,000 feet.

The Texas storm seems to barely have any forward speed. It feels like it has been sitting in the same spot for the last 10 minutes.

David reported on his stream that it’s “stationary”. He just showed this picture of the tornado.
Not sure if it’s attaching correctly, I’m on mobile.

The storms east of Duncan, Oklahoma have merged and now has a tor possible tag on it.

 

[Chris3024]

The good news is that looking at satellite data that part of Texas is sparsely populated.

Wall cloud on the north Texas storm right now.

Here’s the chaser whose picture David showed, I was getting server errors trying to upload the screen grab. This is the tornado in Texas.
