Texas Spring 2023

[Cpv17]

So much rainfall and severe weather potential keeps being wasted by leading shortwaves and cold fronts, this is already getting very old... -_-

I agree. It’s rather annoying but at least temperatures are being kept in check.

On a side note, I had reached out to NWS FWD a few months back and tonight a meteorologist from there is speaking at our Cub Scout Pack meeting. The kids are excited as are some of the parents. Pretty cool for them to do this for us.

FWD is awesome. Great bunch of folks over there.

Let me guess, N TX rain chances are evaporating later this week?

It seems that one part of the state gets the rain while others wait their turn often. lol.

I don’t really think rain chances are very good for any part of the state over the next 5 or so days. After that, who knows? My personal thinking is that it’ll start turning wetter for a good part of the state as we get into the last few days of the month.

I'm beginning to wonder if it will ever rain again but yeah at least temperatures arent out of control

We went from 35 to 81 today!

Late April is looking interesting for severe storms, but it could be capped again!

[bubba hotep]

Looks like a cool wet May for Texas.

[Iceresistance]

It only got down to the mid-60s last night, something is not right.

[Iceresistance]

Oh Lord Have Mercy, that may escalate very quickly!

Looks like a pretty active pattern will be bringing some beneficial rainfall to much of Texas over the next several weeks! Possible large MCS late tomorrow to kick things off, then passing disturbances bringing rain chances every few days. Like Bubba said, the wet pattern could continue through the month of May. Bring it on!

Tell/show us why you think that.

Heck of a storm west of Iceresistance right now. Been at least one other big tornado southwest of OKC earlier

[cheezyWXguy]

2 back to back violent tornadoes in Oklahoma and this place is dead

Most people on here only care about winter weather it seems.

[ElectricStorm]

Had a couple tornado warnings earlier, and was able to see a funnel. Most intense slight risk day I've had in a while, maybe ever.

And here I was thinking this would be a cap bust

Looks like another strong tornado ongoing, heading into Shawnee

Yeah i was figuring the main show would be in Kansas tbh. Definitely surprising the extent it's been tonight around OKC
