Severe October 10-13th Severe Threat

Everything has passed through now. You could hear the thunder and hail as it moved through. From what I saw there was golfball to baseball sized hail. Also looks like there may have been a tornado briefly on the east side of the city as I saw reports of power flashes there. Glad this is over with.

Yup waiting for my turn now. Looking more linear but theres always a chance for a spinupScreenshot_20211010-204232.png
 
DFW measured a 70 MPH wind gust per the SPC, with numerous 60-70 MPH gusts around the greater Metroplex area.

EDIT: DAL also reported a 56 MPH wind gust per KDFW news.

There were over 50K power outages across DFW at the peak, but things seem to be getting restored quickly.

Crazy that in the same season, we've had the high schools in 2 different places named Coweta destroyed by strong nighttime tornadoes.

They are actually tearing down the high school in Newnan, which is in Coweta Co, GA. I have a friend who went to high school there and he says the damage there was unreal. I just hope everyone was ok from last night's storms.

Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 1082
NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
1231 PM EDT Wed Oct 13 2021

Areas affected...southwest into west-central Texas

Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

Valid 131631Z - 132231Z

Summary...Onset of a long-duration flash flood threat is underway
across the discussion area.

Discussion...Latest observations and objective analyses indicate a
nearly surface boundary extending from near 6R6 (near the Big Bend
region of Texas) east-northeastward to near the Dallas/Fort Worth
Metro area. Along and southeast of the front, abundantly moist
and unstable air was supporting scattered showers and
thunderstorms near the front that were increasing in coverage and
intensity this morning. Flow aloft was southwesterly - generally
parallel to the front - which was already allowing for some
training especially near the convective band about 70 WSW of SJT.
Areas of 1"/hr rates were already noted, which is not particularly
surprising given 1.5-1.9 inch PW values along and ahead of the
front.

Over the next 6 hours (and potentially beyond), models depict a
gradual expansion of convective coverage primarily due to weak
confluence/convergence along and ahead of the front. The approach
of moisture/lift associated with Tropical Cyclone Pam along the
western coast of Mexico will also contribute to expanded
convective coverage over time as well. FFG thresholds are
generally in the 2-3"/hr range across most of the discussion area
(slightly lower near the Austin/San Antonio corridor), suggesting
that the greatest flash flood threat will be tied to areas that
can experience training and/or persistence of heavy rainfall in
the near term.
