I went into the store and it was nice and sunny, came out and it looked like the sky was about to open up.



Now the sun is shining again, but it looks like one of those days where anything can happen, and fast.

Storm Prediction Center upgraded the threat level from Enhanced to Moderate about mid-morning.





The brunt of the bad stuff is supposed to be west of I-35w and south of a line from Graham to Hearne.





THE TORNADO THREAT IS GREATEST SOUTHWEST OF A GRAHAM TO HILLSBORO TO HEARNE LINE BETWEEN 4 PM AND 10 PM.


Y'all keep your head on a swivel this afternoon/evening.





Looks like I'm gonna have to go spotting in a couple hours.

Yeah, we were supposed to get violent storms Wednesday, Thursday and Friday too. You know what we got? A couple sprinkles and a few very far off claps of thunder.



I ain't heading for the stairwell until I hear the tornado sirens.

Apparently we are at the very edge of the 10% tornado risk, 30% damaging winds and 45% hail.



It did get cloudy outside.



Come on baby, give it up! I WANT A STORM DAMMIT!

You didn't get tornado warned Friday evening? Fort Worth did. Pretty intense squall line came through, but not much rotation. I haven't heard of any sightings or touchdowns out of that storm.
