[Hate 20108]

Shits about to get real in The Woodlands.

[boknowstecmo 216]

That cell up north, headed for Shreveport, is a fucking monster. 80 wind gusts will tear shit up. 

[NorthLoop 14191]

Little supercell spun up in Lamar County earlier today and pooped out a little weiner nado. Every redneck in the county drove out to get pics of it and it's all over my facebook (former hometown). 

 

[NorthLoop 14191]

Weird little hailstorm just popped up over NB. We heard thunder, saw nothing on radar, then all of a sudden 5 minutes of pea sized hail.

[Hate 20108]

Here is the NWS from 11:15 and then 11:20. They really did just “pop up” out of nowhere.

[boknowstecmo 216]

Random as hell. 

[Bevo Num1 1011]

Just got pea-sized hail in Buda.

[Uncle Boobs 1248]

Getting nailed with fucking hail!!

Not really / not much.

Even before the "social distortion" thing, I wasn't much of a door knocking / hard charge salesperson.

Tomorrow afternoon for most of us, hope it's only as exciting as that huge hail storm in 77007 on Saturday

[Hate 20108]

Could be some rough weather today and into tonight.

[ROFL BOX 6649]

Saw a report on NextDoor of high wind knocking around a house in the 78620, not too terribly far from me.  Winds were pretty strong around 0230 (I was up doing ...documents... & stuff).

[ROFL BOX 6649]

Foat Wuth, early AM today. 

[clapclapclap 9000]

Storm Prediction Center has upgraded DFW to a moderate risk of severe storms tonight, the 2nd highest level.  Luckily most of the tornado and hail risk is further to the northeast, but DFW has a higher probability of straight line winds tonight (and gay line winds, too, if we're being honest.)

[mulletpelini 5211]

That line of storms is huge now, stretches all to way to Michigan.  Hope its just rain.

[freyguy 4269]

report in motherfuckers in DFW!  Frogs are singing like crazy down here in Austin, so I'm expecting flooding.

[Knoxtnhorn 5974]

Looks cool coming in.  I just got a wintry mix alert for Rowlett @80 degrees.  Took me a sec to realize my app was picking up hail.

[TwiceHorn 31451]

I notice wfaa weather radar uses darker colors than my other sources, making things look worse than they are. 

[Surly Bevo 24908]

Heavy rain and all that implies here in NE Tarrant County

I have an app called MyRadar that does that.  Two of my other apps are a tad less hysteric.

[TwiceHorn 31451]

Fairly sporty here in central Dallas. Rain, wind, thunder, lighting.  Can't tell about hail,atm. Small if anything. 

[SubliminalHorn 6786]

Heard the tornado sirens turn on briefly here in south Fort Worth. Very still, very muggy with lots of thunder and lightning. We’ll see what happens when this line moves through. 

[TwiceHorn 31451]

If we got any hail, it was indistinguishable from big heavy rain and melted pretty quick.

Just a big fairly hellacious rainstorm here, but no limbs down, even.

[Vito Andolini 9126]

Really coming down in Belton not far from the lake. I heard lots of hail earlier, but didn’t see it, so I suspect it wasn’t too big. But it’s really dumping a lot of water on us.

[boknowstecmo 216]

Should be fun.

[Anastasis 23469]

About or pick up in atx area. Gusty as fuck. 

[Somnio 751]

Starting to come down in 78701.  It's windy as fuck.

[jimmyjazz 45902]

Seems anticlimactic in 78731.  Some thunder, but not much in the way of heavy rain (0.23" so far).

Yep. 

[Guest Lobo]

Started very windy and just noise and drizzle here in south Austin.  But rain started picking up in last ten minutes and my gutters are almost overflowing suddenly.  This thing is supposed to go until about 8/9am right?

[Tailgate 3021]

Passing quickly....likely done sooner than 9.

[Nice Guy Eddie 13511]

Fair amount of power outages in houston. 

[WBT 20562]

This blew through too fast.  We could have used more rain.

[Somnio 751]

It's tapering off downtown, but it rained hard for half an hour or so.  There's some localized street flooding at 5th and Guadalupe.  It's nothing serious, but water is over the curb and on the sidewalk.

Estimate on how much we got? It started raining as my sprinklers were set to go off so it's likely the bypass got triggered so wondering if we got enough.

[Moby Ric 2058]

Holy shit my back porch looks like a bomb went off. 

[miguelito 11262]

Nothing but wind in NW SA.

Everything keeps missing us to the north and east. It's going to be a brutal summer if this keeps up.

[Guest Lobo]

Ended up with .8" in 2 hours.  Most of it coming in a 30-minute window at our home in South Austin.

South Austin's Mom got 8" in 2 minutes.  Most of it coming on her in a 30-second window.
