Big hail not far away, KXII met Steve LaNore talking about strong rotation developing. Looks like the main threat is Pottsboro, Denison, northern portions of Sherman best as I can tell. We've got about 10 to 15 minutes before it all breaks loose. Getting the family all squared away in our downstairs interior closet under the staircase.

Hope all goes well and everyone stays safe!

We're out of the storm closet, close call, but no hail here, just very heavy rain.

Possible damage near the North Texas Regional Airport, maybe to some mobile homes.

Massive hailstorm in central Grayson County - golfball, baseball, and tennis ball size hail were some things I all heard on local storm reports.

Doug Grace, KXII storm spotter, experienced tennis ball sized hail at 82/1417. Hail covered the road at Hwy. 82/Texoma Pkwy. Circulation passed over Hwy. 82/Texoma Pkwy. while Grace was stationed there. He saw a 100 yard wide tornado with , multiple circling vortices west of Muenster.

Steve LaNore, KXII met, was hard to hear due to the severe noise of hail beating on the KXII studio.

Close call, way too close.

Guarantee it - I would guess there is significant hail damage in Sherman. Best I can tell, worst of the hail was about 3-5 miles south of my house. We never got one hail stone and it was covering the ground not too far away.

I don't mind admitting that was the most concerned I have ever been on an approaching storm. A pronounced hook echo on the local KXII dop-radar bearing down on our house and reports of baseball and bigger hail. Watching that hook come at you, pretty helpless feeling.

BTW, I think I'll take a cup of coffee now!

I was at work through that whole thing. We closed early due to weather...I was upset because I need the extra money right now. Moved my car under the canopy at the muffler shop across the street and watched the rain come down. I stepped outside and stared southwest for a while to try and see a funnel cloud during lightning flashes but had no "luck" lol.

Everybody's phones, even the store phone, were ringing, as people relayed info on the tornado warning to everyone they know....since Denison still hasn't fixed the storm sirens.

Aside from heavy rain and frequent lightning, we did briefly see pea-sized hail falling, but aside from that nothing. We were actually under two tornado warnings at the same time....from what I understand, the southern one was more intense as it crossed US 75. Everything out here in Pottsboro where I live, seems to be in fine order.

Bring on round two tomorrow!

Downgraded from MDT to SLGT

DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1258 AM CDT FRI MAR 27 2009

....

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOT FOCUS SOLELY ON THE DOWNGRADE OF THE
CATEGORICAL RISK TO SLGT AS THE INITIAL DAY 1 FCST WILL CONTAIN
MODEST SVR PROBABILITIES/STRONG SLGT RISK. SUBSEQUENT OTLKS ON
FRIDAY MAY VERY WELL NEED TO INCREASE THE SVR PROBABILITIES/UPGRADE
TO MDT RISK ONCE THE EFFECTS OF MORNING GULF COAST MCS CAN BE BETTER
ASSESSED.

..RACY/HURLBUT.. 03/27/2009

[Brent]

WOW, for Saturday:

[KWT]

Very interesting to see it being downgraded to slight, seems like the MCS is causing some issues but these things are very uncertain, could still explode.
