wow - the Wichita Falls cell needs to have a warning soon - big hook showing up - at almost 70DBz now -

According to WeatherTap, the Wichita Falls storm has a TVS signature. No surprise with the definition of that hook. Very impressive looking cell right now.

The spotters in that area are like a SWAT team. I would guess the lack of a warning is due to their continuous reports to OUN. But I agree the radar looks like it's about to earn it.

I can't believe that cell just to the East of SPS doesn't have a tornado warning on it. Quite the hook on the 18:46 image.

This really surprises me -

The residents of Hurnville should be seeking shelter now. Still very surprised not to see a TOR-WARN out on this cell. It is definately holding together very well.

Storm to the west of Wichita Fall appears to be decreasing in intensity. Seems this other storm is taking everything in its surrounding enviornment.

That storm is interacting with the boundary, the loop of DYX shows it pretty dramatically, including the notch on the latest scan.

Yep - when I brought up rad. vel, the rotation is quite pronounced -

The 3:00p radar image; the hook looks as if its gone. Just vanished between frames.

The Red River cells are phasing in and out a lot ... it's pretty doubtful if either have had anything on the ground, but who knows - suddenly the ABI storm has become the one to be on -

The Abi storm is crossing into Shackelford County right now. If the storm maintains its current track, it looks as if it'll pass right through or just barely north of Breckenridge, TX. Not as pretty a hook as the Wichita Falls storm, but the boundry seems to be feeding this thing.

 

[Amos Magliocco]

the ABI storm has become the one to be on -

No doubt. The SPS storms have crossed the river into more stable air and unfavorable low level shear conditions. The ABI storm remains on the boundary, which is moving at about the same speed, and into higher theta-e air. This storm may put on a show for quite a while.
