Hey do you need pro version of radar scope to view velocity?
I can’t get over this ?

Are you hearing any damage reports from Gastonia, Cramertton, Belmont, from the tornado storm that went through there?
Need that tornado to lift, headed towards suburban areas north of Greenwood

.SHORT TERM... /NEW/
/Today and Tonight/
Severe thunderstorms capable of producing significant large hail,
damaging winds, and tornadoes will be possible late this
afternoon into tonight. All North and Central Texas residents need
to stay weather aware today given the possibility of significant
severe weather. Make sure to have multiple ways of receiving any
weather alerts, and have a plan in case you are in the path of
hazardous weather.
A rapid evolution of today and tonight`s forecast has taken place
within the last 24 hours. Minor changes in the timing of the
front and rapid moisture return have contributed to an increasing
potential for significant severe weather starting late this
afternoon. A cold front is now draped northeast to southwest from
near Bowie to Graham, slowly advancing to the southeast.
Meanwhile, dew points throughout the region have surged into the
lower 70s ahead of the front. At the moment, a stout capping
inversion is keeping convection from developing. This, however, is
expected to change in the next few hours. Radiational heating
will continue ahead of the front, leading to greater
destabilization across the region. CAMs continue to favor an area
around Stephenville for initial thunderstorm development, which
coincides with recent RAP analysis of a developing area of greater
moisture convergence.
An incoming shortwave, coupled with the surface front and a
pseudo-dryline will come together to produce explosive
thunderstorm development initially to the west/southwest of the
DFW Metroplex. Storms will then migrate eastward through North
Texas. Steep mid-level lapse rates will lead to CAPE values
exceeding 4000 J/kg which would translate to significantly large
hail. Deep layer shear and a strong southerly low-level flow will
also increase the potential for damaging winds and tornadoes. The
overall tornado potential will depend on the evolution of the
storms across North Texas. If storms are able to remain discrete,
a greater tornado potential may develop in areas east of I-35 and
north of I-30.
An atypical setup this evening will also lead to a potential for
severe storms behind the front. Given continued steep lapse rates
and high amounts of instability, a few elevated supercells capable
of large hail will be possible across North Texas after around
10pm.
The main line of storms associated with the front will continue
moving to the southeast through the night, likely exiting our far
eastern and southeastern counties closer to sunrise Tuesday.
Cloudy skies will persist through much of tomorrow morning, but
should gradually disperse by tomorrow afternoon. In contrast with
today`s temperatures in the upper 80s to lower 90s, tomorrow`s
highs will stay in the 80s across North Texas to mid 70s across
Central Texas.

Moving into neighborhoods once it cross this highway
Debris sig less pronounced hoping it lifted and seeing fallout
Definitely have enough shear aloft to keep these things rolling. Seeing some nice tilting on radar.
Yikes new tornado warning west of gantt AL
That tornado from Lowndesville to Greenwood was doing damage for 25 miles, pretty impressive for a slight risk

Gotta drive 30 minutes home this is going to kill me cause I like to be glued to my radarscope on days like this lol
We’ve got action in the southern part of the upstate ?

Areas affected...Northern Texas and southeast Oklahoma
Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely
Valid 032014Z - 032215Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent
SUMMARY...Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to develop
across north Texas and south-central Oklahoma between 5-7 PM CDT.
These storms will pose a risk for large hail and a few tornadoes. A
watch is likely by 21 UTC.
DISCUSSION...Surface observations from north TX and southern OK
reveal a surface low northeast of Abilene, TX with a stalled cold
front draped to the southwest and a dryline extending to the south.
To the northeast of this low, a stationary front is noted across
southern to northeast OK. Recent GOES visible imagery shows a
shallow, but growing, cumulus field west of the DFW metro into
southeast OK east of the stationary boundary. A 19 UTC FWD sounding
shows considerable MLCIN remains in place, and should keep
convection at bay in the near term. However, continued diurnal
heating and increasing ascent over the region (due to the approach
of an upper-level wave from the west) will help erode lingering
inhibition by the 5-7 PM CDT time frame. Deep-layer shear is
forecast to increase as stronger flow associated with the synoptic
trough moves over the region, which will support initially discrete
cells along the dryline and stationary boundary. Steep mid-level
lapse rates noted in the 19 UTC FWD sounding and dewpoints
increasing into the upper 60s/low 70s will support MLCAPE values
near 3000-4000 J/kg.
Consequently, severe hail appears likely and a few instances of
large (2+") hail are probable with any initial discrete storms. The
KFWS VWP recently observed around 100 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH, which may
support at least a low-end tornado threat across north TX. The
tornado threat will likely be higher along the Red River and
northward into south/southeast OK in the vicinity of the triple
point and along the stationary boundary where more backed low-level
winds are noted and environmental vertical vorticity is higher.
Although the potential for a few tornadoes exists with any initial
discrete convection, rapid upscale growth is possible within an hour
or two after initiation, and may limit the overall tornado
potential. Nonetheless, a tornado watch is likely by 21 UTC.

GSP does not seem very confident about how tomorrow plays out, saying they need to wait and see what happens upstream tonight. They do think the bigger threat is from mid/late afternoon and into the evening. Then maybe more chances on Wednesday depending on how tomorrow and tomorrow night play out.
I was on the other side of that storm and saw some incredible CTG lightning while I was driving.
You can now start to see what looks to be gravity waves on the visible satellite, and the CU field increasing. This is all on the nose of the 700mb jet streak.
Should start seeing action rev up soon.
