Some of the High Res models are firing convection early tomorrow west of DFW w/ EHI over 7 in the DFW area... (based on 18z NAM soundings)

Bet we see much of nothing around here. Models have been backing way off on precip total compared to what they showed a couple of days ago. Strong cap looks to be firmly entrenched in south LA and will be hard to break. Far north LA, MS, and AL is another story though.

NW La moved up to a 9 TorCon.
This is getting a little to real.

There could be explosive upscale growth in that environment. Certainly something to watch and FWD seems to think that all modes would be in play, if storms fire.
ETA: The HRRR is typically pretty crappy but has performed well with a couple of events so far this season.

to further prove your point, just saw this on twitter.. this is what the HRRR predicted at 7 PM this evening:

It appears that two boundaries are converging on Childress, TX with an intensifying cell heading right into town. Could end up being nothing or could be some really interesting storm scale interactions about to happen.

Those storms in W Texas are hugging that dry line, bone dry just to the west of them.

It looks like the secondary dry line is surging back west to merge with the primary dry line. IIRC, there is a pretty famous west Texas tornado were the dry line passed through town and then surged back west through town before the tornado moved in. Not saying that is about to happen, just a partially incorrect story probably

In the clip which is from earlier, he explains TorCon and clearly says he is assigning a 9 to NW La and Southwest Ark. He is next to a graphic that has a 9 right over this area while he is pointing at it. He says this area is a 9.
Sorry about the link but it's right there.
I had to refresh the link a few times to get the video on my phone. Try that.
