Yeah they mentioned that warm front could be the real focal point looks like it's north and east of the Metro but still we're definitely in the warm sector here in the DFW area.

I'm getting things in order now at my place

Definitely looks like south of me is favored. The hype and panic on social media is unreal. You would think we've never had tornadoes before

Good luck guys

I think we're in now casting time. I don't think the models have lined up with what they're supposed to but I'm not an expert so I think things might have shifted.

Those cells have been anchored on the dryline. They'll have deep mature updrafts moving SEward.

I learned from the good TV mets in Kansas as a kid…it’s a right-mover headed for DFW. Not a good sign.

I've had several rumbles of thunder in The Colony. Can't remember ever hearing that from a storm so far away.
