Texas Spring 2025

[Gotwood]

So far nothing IMBY.
So between yesterday and today I think I’ve received a total of 3 minutes of rain lol. Can’t wait to see how the rest of this week busts.

I think DFW is cursed

We've begun our 3 days of 100 percent chance of rain. I guess yesterday probably was too but it was over in 15 minutes

[CaptinCrunch]

The storms have arrived.

Looking at radar movement it all looks to be pushing to the NNE, may only clip Tarrant Co if lucky. Otherwise another swing and a miss

[TomballEd]

SWODY1 (new update per site, actual outlook still shows 6Z) suggests development later today to the W/SW of DFW.

Houston is the city that gets no rain. Well anywhere along and S of I-10. Anyplace more than 50 miles W of I-35 doesn't get all that much rain either.

Areas around here have already picked up over 1 inch of rain this morning.

Welcome to your daily DFW bust.

I have seen .05 all week.

Storms are hitting northern DFW, but Tarrant/Dallas dry.

Just thunder for my puppies to bark at.

You're getting thunder?

Lucky!

I live about one hour SW of Houston and maybe 40 miles S of I-10 and I feel like what you’re saying is pretty accurate.

Yeah DFW is under tiny streamers that provided some thunder still.

Didn't mind missing out on the severe weather, would've liked more rain. May still get some by Saturday. 'Dixie' alley and the Ohio River valley seems to be the more dominant locations for outbreaks in recent memory. Then Oklahoma in May.

Hopefully, we torch from here out through October after
this poop.

This was the worst case scenario given the setup (stuck in the 50s with stratiform rain/drizzle for days), which looks to be happening.

Another issue is the excessive hype surrounding predicted storms; when these storms fail to materialize, people become less likely to heed warnings and prepare for future events.

The hype did verify for parts of Arkansas and areas adjacent. What I will say about is, you have to take into consideration it is spring. Any system will look 'great' but the actual outcome is that the odds and percentages actually effect a relative few. It's not like a winter storm where lets say ice and snow can cover an entire region. You're talking down into streets and neighborhoods. That's such a small area where only a tiny few will experience say a hail storm or tornado. It's good to be prepared, but chances are unlikely you will experience it on any given storm system at one particular location.

We do tend to get at least one or two big wind derecho type events, lately it's been May and early June. The 70mph+ storm did happen earlier in March though.

Yeah we'll see lol

people always want to claim bust if the event did not occur in their backyard. it is exhausting...

Oh it was definitely a bust here in the region, but to what context though is the question. A lot of it was conditional, meaning IFs. If the dryline produced, if storms could get going, if instability was greater, wasn't a lot of for sures. Cooler air won out though today and going through the weekend.

I turned the heat back on a little while ago.

Just awful...

[wxman22]

Yep severe weather did occur in Texas overnight/this morning it just occurred west of DFW. BTW a moderate risk has been issued for the ArkLaTex tomorrow…

As well as north along the Red River (today's storm report map has a cluster of damaging wind reports in Love County, OK).
