Another week of severe weather in the southern plains?

[RL3AO]

I've been paying so much attention to the severe part of this storm, I didn't notice that this could be a decent (maybe major) winter storm on the north side. I know its Minnesota, but this is ridiculous. I want spring!

Well - this still belongs to tuesday. Go Mavs !

A WW IS NOT CURRENTLY ANTICIPATED...BUT TRENDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
MONITORED FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF AN INCREASING SEVERE THREAT.

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOW ONGOING ALONG SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT
SOUTH OF THE DALLAS/FORT WORTH METROPLEX INTO THE TEXAS HILL
COUNTRY. RATHER STRONG MID-LEVEL INHIBITION INITIALLY SLOWED
DEVELOPMENT...BUT FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH FRONT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED
TO INITIATION. THE BULK OF ACTIVITY APPEARS SLIGHTLY ELEVATED JUST
TO THE COOL SIDE OF THE FRONT...WHICH LIKELY WILL STALL AS A STRONG
UPSTREAM TROUGH CONTINUES TO DIG INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN STATES.
BENEATH A BUILDING HIGH-LEVEL RIDGE...MID/ UPPER FORCING TO SUSTAIN
CONVECTION DEEP INTO THE NIGHT IS STILL UNCERTAIN. BUT...MODERATE
DEEP LAYER SHEAR...PRIMARILY ASSOCIATED WITH PRONOUNCED VEERING OF
WINDS WITH HEIGHT...MAY HELP MAINTAIN CELLS IN A MODERATELY UNSTABLE
AIR MASS...WITH MOST UNSTABLE CAPE ON THE ORDER OF 1000-2000

ACTIVITY NEAR OR JUST NORTHEAST OF THE HILL COUNTRY...MAY BE THE

Tomorrow could be a bumpy ride and this looks to be a LONG event. The atmosphere could be primed for overnight supercells and tornadoes. The big variable at this point is when the front begins retreating back to the north and with what type of rapidity it does so. Also thursday night and early friday morning could also be interesting.

That Tornado Watch is beyond 'now-casting' to 'hind-casting'.

That Tornado Watch is beyond 'now-casting' to 'hind-casting'.

Considering it is only for 2 hours and 10 minutes in duration - one of the shortest watches I can ever remember.

Just perusing new 0Z GFS (not all in yet) and 0Z WRF. GFS has warm front closer to DFW, and less interference from morning activity.


The GFS would place the Dallas area in a more serious severe weather situation, with strong instability and strong shear, with the only saving grace very limited instability in the lowest kilometer of the atmosphere.
