Waxahachie got hammered. Some claim microburst, some tornado. Hail looked like snow in yards. We were very lucky, just the southern tip of the storm hit us, but a pretty scary 10-15 seconds. No damage for us but trees down in neighborhood and neighbor's roof roughed up.

Our friends 3 miles north had 4 windows knocked out and hail into their hallway. Overturned their wooden swing set and chicken coop

The number of roofers that try to cold sell after hailstorms is gross. Also in Cleburne, our roof appears to be fine per a builder friend of mine, yet like 10 roofers in 2 days have been combing the neighborhood saying it's totaled and they'll negotiate with the insurance company.

#1 reason our home insurance is through the roof. Pun intended.

Hell quite a few insurance companies are straight up not insuring North TX anymore for that reason.

My FIL is a home inspector and he helped me patch the shingles on my roof. He was pretty sure we're good to go and there was no other damage from Tuesday

Got an upgrade for significant hail possible tomorrow - 3/12.

Action starts early, mid-afternoon to evening.

Where is that? I'm seeing mostly sunny with a 5% chance of rain.

It's been all over the local weather gurus' social media today. Dryline to form just east of dallas and get more intense as it pushes east.

Always hard for me to read these maps without the county lines or interstates, but for reference the dividing line between 5% & 15% chance is right around Dallas/Plano. Right now, chances look pretty low for those west of central Tarrant.

You may know this already - but I am assuming someone else reading may not so figured I would share

On the Storm Prediction Center Convective Outlook webpage you can turn on interstates and counties once you have drilled down to the specific day's outlook you are interested in. For instance the day 2 outlook we are all interested in is here- and at the top of this page are a couple items of note and marked in the screenshot below
1 the toggles for reference markers like cities, interstates, and counties.
2 allows you the ability to download a google earth file which lets you load it into google earth.



Once downloaded in earth you can turn on the individual layers and see it in earth like below showing the metroplex relative to the hail layers

Cap should hold it

Delkus said at 6pm 11 of 12 models say cap will hold.

The google earth thing is very helpful - did not know that. Thanks!

I know I can toggle counties/cities on the map, but when I try to share that version - it doesn't seem to share properly via the link. You have to save the image & repost it. I guess that is the one small annoyance... or I'm just doing it wrong.

So Delkus is confident in the cap holding and ponder is sounding the alarms. I used to like Ponder a lot more but now that he tries to speak in multistate terms, everything is a Oh no scenario.

The short term models show storms breaking out along or to the east of I-35 in the 4-6 PM window.

Not everyone will catch a storm and it could be anywhere from 35 to east of 75 where things break.

The important thing is if a storm breaks out overhead or west of you, know there's a wind and large hail risk.

. Do people actually hire the ".roofers" that just show up at your front door immediately after a storm? I checked the video on my security system and noticed about 6 guys came by the house on Monday and left their business cards/information. One guy came by later in the afternoon and left his card. At the same time, he gathered up all the information left on porch and took it all away so I wouldn't know who came by earlier.

NWS just put up a mesoscale discussion about this afternoon.



SUMMARY...Scattered strong thunderstorm development appears possible
as early as 4-5 PM CDT near the I-35 corridor, before spreading
eastward accompanied by increasing potential for large hail and
damaging wind gusts. It is possible a severe weather watch may be
needed by early evening.

We avoided this one. Saturday looks like it might be a big day LA / MS / AL.

Just drove from Fayetteville AR to Dallas. Winds were insane the whole time. Dust picked up in southern OK and was bad all the way in.

In Johnson county so it may be different further north, but there's a ton of dust but gusts aren't reaching anywhere what they did a couple weeks ago. More like a strong June/July wind. 15-20 sustained with a 30-40 very short gust. Honestly way better than I expected. With heavy winds predicted out of west-southwest and my three 80 year old pecan trees all that direction of my house, I was worried. Not so much anymore.

Same here in Lakewood. Not as bad as they made it out to be. But I'm hearing north and north west of the metroplex is getting blasted.

From people headed out on spring break, I saw a ton of mars rover type videos going through the Vernon to Amarillo corridor.
