Abilene to Wichita Falls is where the action is.

CAPE peaks tomorrow afternoon in the Houston area. B/CS is hopped over.


The action is west of San Angelo/southwest of Abilene at the moment. Any activity north of that area including the Wichita Falls/Abilene region is going to be elevated as the front has already made it into those areas dropping temps/dews reducing the severe weather risk in particular Torando threat. Still could see some pockets of smaller hail in Abilene with that cold air aloft.

San Angelo is probably the area that folks will want to watch within the next hour for a localized tornado risk along with very large hail as it remains in the warm air as storms approach from the west.


That's quite a narrow dip by the front. Brownwood is on the juicy side.

Storm spotters are saying there is a large wedge tornado on the ground in Jacksboro. This is being produced from the large supercell on the bottom right.

Looks like a watch incoming for DFW and points north. Buckle up!

Stay safe!

Fair point, but Denton County is included.

735 PM CDT Sat Apr 19 2025

Areas affected...portions of northern Texas into far southern
Oklahoma

Concerning...Tornado Watch 149...

Valid 200035Z - 200130Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 149 continues.

SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Tornado Watch 149. A
locally greater tornado risk exists with a dominate, semi-discrete
supercell approaching the Red River. A strong tornado is possible.

DISCUSSION...Storms continue to increase in intensity along the Red
River. One supercell in particular has a history of producing at
least a couple of tornadoes, and this storm continues to progress
northeastward along a diffuse baroclinic boundary, with mid to upper
60s F surface dewpoints characterizing both sides of the boundary.
As such, this storm is expected to continue ingesting buoyant,
likely streamwise-vorticity-rich inflow given the continued
intensification of the preceding southerly LLJ. The FWD 00Z observed
sounding depicts an unstable troposphere and a large, curved
hodograph, and over 400 m2/s2 effective SRH. Tornado potential
should continue to some degree with the supercell, especially as
this storm absorbs preceding showers/storms, and then experiences
unimpeded inflow. Some of the latest Warn-on-Forecast guidance also
suggest that this storm should persist with strong rotation for at
least 1-2 more hours. Given the high degree of storm organization
and preceding strong ambient low-level shear, a strong tornado
cannot be ruled out.

Weatherford looks to be under the gun with a potential tornado developing south of town. Strong rotation signal per radar velocity.

Been storming non-stop in Abilene. Frustrating how back in DFW it gets close but stays dry.

The line of storms splitting DFW and slamming Austin/SA would be the verbal knife twisting in the wound.
