From Chris Robbins at iWeatherNet, posted last night on facebook
http://www.iweathernet.com/

Quote:
Round 1 of thunderstorms during the late afternoon/early evening with the warm front (and within the warm sector). Thunderstorms will move south/southwest to north/northeast across the area and may become severe.

Round 2 of thunderstorms will approach from the west during the late evening and into the metroplex after midnight. Rainfall rates may exceed 2 inches per hour, with localized flash flooding possible (especially over the northwestern counties). The thunderstorms will move through D/FW as a quasi-linear convective system with strong outflow winds possibly exceeding 60 mph. Damaging winds may occur with this QLCS, especially within bowing segments. The chance of rain with Round 2 is near 100% (DFW between midnight and 5 am Wed).

All severe elements appear possible over the course of this event, with Round 2 being primarily damaging straight-line wind and very heavy rain.

Last year was a busted sky light and a new roof. This year so far, a fallen tree on the house. Now let's see what tonight brings me.

The warm front was noted in the round 1 forecast above as the initial forcing mechanism for thunderstorm development (it is now north of the metroplex, so most of us are behind that front). I keep seeing storm timing for the metroplex after midnight, but I can't get a good read on if that is accurate for those of us to the west. It seems there is still some risk of discrete storm development early evening, especially those closer to the 281 corridor.

Being south of a stalled warm front means you are in the warm sector. That's bad.

Very true. Some of those guys speed, change lanes erratically, and stop with little notice. Not all, but some. This will bring a lot of scrutiny I'm sure.

I think this went right by my house in South Lewisville. The roar shook my house and woke me up. had extremely high burst of wind for about 15 seconds followed by high winds for about 2 minutes.

Hope everyone is safe out there.

In Keller, large Oak tree in back yard is now laying across my patio. Oak tree out front is still standing but about 1/2 of limbs are gone. A few shingles loose.

Just got through the worst of it in Rowlett. Wondering if I should even go outside and look at fence, knowing I'll be disappointed.

Power out in west Frisco. Went out at very outset of storm, has to be downed lines somewhere west of us. One of those very frustrating times to see other parts of neighborhood still with power.

Just a bad storm for us, no hail, no bad high winds. Sunday night was far worse.

Didn't seem too bad in Argyle. Won't know for sure until the sun comes up. Truck go pummeled by hail on Sunday though.

I learned tonight that Oncor has an outage map.

Edit:
Shows outage in Frisco - 1,341 affected customers.
Estimated restoration time 6:30am.

Power out in Mansfield since 2:16. Lost the fence that I share with the neighbor. Yippee. Sitting here wishing that I could turn a fan on.

Think some type of tornado passed by us in Lakewood which is East Dallas. I had a 50 year old tree snap about 6 feet up. Luckily landed freely. Got real lucky.

Tornado warning at 2 am in Aledo. Woke up and the power was out. No telling how long it had been down but it came back up at 3:30 am. No visible damage to anything yet. Of course the generator was in the barn across the property & not in the garage so I couldn't just plug into that for a fan.

We live in Lakewood too and the damage seemed a lot worse than other parts of the city I passed driving into the office in uptown. Our metal American flag mount sheared right off and I found the flag in the yard along with a couple of roof shingles, which I'm hoping aren't mine...You don't happen to live in Lakewood trails do you? I saw a large tree down a couple of blocks from our house.

In Southlake (west of DFW airport), woke up by phone at night but went back to sleep soon, my pool is a little dirty now with all the leaves but fortunately no other damage. I saw many trees fell down this morning due to the storm, some of the neighbors' fence got knocked down.

I checked the weather, we have another thunderstorm coming this weekend, hopefully better than this one!
