Texas Spring 2025

[Yukon Cornelius]

One of the local chief meteorologist is now forecasting near hurricane force winds Friday with gust over 70 mph being possible.

I lost quite a few shingles in the last one. Not looking forward to this one.

Just don't talk to Insurance until the end of the season because they'll ding you for a deductible for every claim if you do.

At least that's what I've heard.

Yeah, I’m hoping for a decent hail storm before I make the claim. My wind damage coverage isnt as great as my hail damage.

Can anyone elaborate on the potential storms in north Tx this evening? I didn’t see much on the models and forecasts but seen it mentioned a couple times now?

As usual for this early in the season, east of DFW. So, not much attention on here.

Thanks guys

Guess it depends on where in the metro you’re located. Chances aren’t high anywhere in the metro, but are a little higher in Dallas and Collin and rise further out east. HRRR tries to initiate a couple of storms on I-35 around 5pm, we’ll see.

Im nowhere near the metro, up on lake texoma north of Sherman/denison. My kids got baseball tonight so just trying to keep an eye on the sky.

Would be a good idea to keep an eye out then, as you said. Haven’t looked at your forecast but you’re right in the middle of the SPC’s slight risk area

Yeah, Dallas northeast has at least a chance.

Interesting for NE TX how the action looked like it would stay north of I-20 according to model runs up until mid-day or so, and now looks like it might stay all south of I-20. At least for Texas.

HRRR tries to develop get activity as far south as the Houston area...

[HockeyTx82]

Just had a virga induced 50 mph sustained wind here in Ponder.

I called the weather office and reported it. It got cranking and it was insane.

[snownado]

Despite cloud cover moving in by early/mid afternoon, DFW managed a very late day spike to 84*F as the dry line enroached (the hottest day of March thus far).

I've been watching that cell and it really did try its damndest to rev up. But the dry air advecting in was too much.

[Brent]

Crazy how the dry wind last week was pretty unprecedented locally and now here we are again for Friday

[ElectricStorm]

I don't remember ever being in an extreme fire weather area (heck even critical is pretty rare for C and NE OK) so this could get interesting. But with 50mph+ gusts it doesn't surprise me
