It was looking good on the previous scan with inflow at 45kts, but looks like it is tailing off a bit in the last scan.
 
Just got off the phone with Jeff....large wall cloud lowering north of Ranger in SE Stephens Co. Jeff said it looks like it's about to produce a nader.
 
Bill Tabor has had some excellent streaming.....appears he is SE Breckenridge.
 
Nope lol, this was my facebook status earlier tonight:

im beginning to think some windshields are going to be lost today...that elongated core is stretched across 180 with GR3 showing 2.75" hail. wee

I was actually surprised so many opted for the core punch...then again if I were there I would have been one of them. Latest scans have shown a decrease in intensity but it could be cycling.
 
Many of those caught in the core may have not done so intentionally. I received a call that there was a southbound bridge out in Breckenridge forcing chasers to go east into the core before being able to head south.
 
On I-20 Eastbound behind storm, heading for Weatherford for the night... too dark to see much. We rode out the 50mm hail (about 2 ins) under a metal carpark. That was a nice lowering, but we didn't see much rotation... did anyone else?

Crummy aircard coverage... would have loved a better radar pic right then!
 
Given the storms current path, it's still in a good environment to at least produce monster hail. Temps still in the upper 70's with near 70 dews ahead of this storm. Surface winds are weak so I don't expect it to tornado but you never know.
