2 Apr Severe Weather Potential now in more Eastern areas than Tue

April ramps up the weather season. And always brings out those who say its crying wolf too much. I think like everything else there are more people covering weather due to social media and Podcasts. So you have to soft through them and learn who the better coverage folks are.
Side note: The bill in OK to require licenses to chase never made it out of committee, so can’t be done this year - would be next year at earliest to get back on docket.
Some words of wisdom

We see the comments after every severe weather event, things like "we were in an enhanced risk and we didn't even get a storm." Here's some reminders about what those outlooks mean (and don't mean) hopefully to help everyone understand their purpose a little better.

Oh they bumped up the risk for tomorrow in DFW? I thought it was mostly slight for the metroplex. Yee haw.

Severe Wx Threat continues for late afternoon & this evening. We're seeing clouds give way to sunshine & temps heating up. This, along with increasing moisture, is making the atmosphere very unstable. Isolated severe storms could develop by 5 pm just west of the metro (OKC).

The flood threat is going to be a problem with this one. Some places, depending on exactly where this front stalls, could see upwards of a foot of rain through Sunday.

A #tornado watch will likely be needed in western/central Oklahoma and western North Texas by early this evening, however, the timing is uncertain as it depends on how things behave on the dryline. If they do develop, significant tornadoes are possible.

I do think it would be helpful to put the main impacted areas in the thread title

I was driving across i-10e between Benson and Wilcox AZ and saw a huge dust cloud coming north - quickly found a truck stop and got parked. Hurricane force wind gusts with 30-40 mph steady. Visibility is less than 1/4 mile.

You had yourself a close encounter with a Haboob!

What a Haboob is?

I have a good buddy in Northeast Arkansas. I sent him this link so he can follow along as the weather goes through. You find great information in these threads a lot of times before local meteorologists.

Dust storm. Very large dust storm
+1 smart point to this trucker.
