Adding OKC as well.
Tons of tornado warnings out there with thunderstorms showing quite a few rotations.

Those storms out there look intense.

There was already a few tornados today in OK.
A lot of moisture in the area.

Was looking for this thread last night. Glad I didn’t need it. Hoping I won’t need it tonight.

Don’t think we have a hail threat but hopefully Duke will drop in here at some point.
Lots of rotation on RadarScope and that stuff is supposedly heading this way at some point.
After LaTech I’m just making people aware of potential.
Edit: 2K gurus are suggesting we will have a hail threat but lesser tornado threat if this stuff lines up. The current cells north of Denton are dripping baseball size hail and tornadoes

It got a little intense for me yesterday evening, hoping tonight is less eventful.

Should not be a huge LA threat. Most of LA tm is under a marginal or slight risk.

I'm around.

I'd think they're right.
Those mid level lapse rates are definitely supportive of big hail. Getting up around 8C/km. Surface CAPE in the 3500 J/kg range, so yeah, there's some instability there.
Shear isn't tremendous, but obviously hasn't mattered with the abundant instability at play considering we've seen a few tornadoes already.
Plenty of moisture. Getting PWats up in the 1.6" range, and it's flowing in wide open from the south. Likely going to see plenty of flash flood warnings tonight around the metroplex.
Brightside, SPC has Dallas outside of the hatch hail regime.
ETA:
DFW did an 18z balloon. Got 4000+ on the CAPE, LI a buoyant -13.

DUke!
TY sir! This will be maybe the fourth or fifth week in a row DFW has watches/warning for hail.
Probably the worse its been in a while (or at least since ive lived here).

Yeah, it's been a constant this spring. Perhaps the big snowpack over the Rockies helping get the mid layers colder before ejecting out toward North Texas?
Starting to see a bit of lightning in the trash tiny rain cells toward Denton. Probably where the next set of stuff starts to initiate. Running from far west Fort Worth to Denton, basically parallel to the current severe cluster.

I’m actually starting to get a little nervous with how this has played out so far. Lines run intense along I35, then the area that slams Lake Dallas dissipates enough to where we get nothing. It’s been crazy watching the clouds all to our west and north but no rain overhead. Crossing my fingers that the “lake effect” pattern continues. (SW Frisco residents use “lake effect” to describe how storms seem to go all around us to reorganize and hit NE Frisco, McKinney & Allen).

Yeah, it’s been a weekly thing lately, but I don’t think we’ve actually gotten much hail. The only time I have, there was no warning, and it came at 3am.

Haslet/Alliance area..
ETA: The second “area of rotation” yesterday actually formed right on top of my neighborhood. We just had the first one pass over us, then all of a sudden that one came out of nowhere, then touched down in Justin, 10 minutes north of me.

Pretty much blew up on top of us today, pea size hail, rainfall, some wind. Seems the more intense cells rotated easterly rather than training northeast

at least twice here.
I know Frisco/McKinney was hit with the mega hail storm a month ago.
