The Byron Nelson starts Thursday. Of course it's going to rain.

They live within about a half mile of that warehouse. Went up there today to try and help. I've seen pictures of tornado damage before but never seen it in person. Seeing it in person really puts into perspective. Their bedrooms and living room were totally destroyed. The dining room and kitchen pretty much untouched. The raw power of that storm literally ripped interior doors from their hinges.

It hasn't rained yet. Guess I should try to mow real quick. That should bring it in minutes.

Or you can go outside and wash the vehicle.

Mine is dirty. Feel free to come wash it. Though we should probably save those voodoo methods for July and August

Solid win. Mowed last night after work, woke up to .6" inches of rain.

Agreed. I spent 6 hours in the yard yesterday on mowing and general maintenance. It's nice to get it done just before the rain.

Got another 2" at my house. Nearing 20" total for the year which seems higher than normal lately.

Careful what you wish for! We found a roof leak and a window leak last night. That rain was pounding us.

Hoping the storm predictions are a bust for our neighbors to the north.

Watching storm chasers. Do they not constantly demolish their cars with hail?

It's a mix of things.

Some build hail cages to protect their cars (well, at least the glass).

Some do rental cars and pay for full coverage on the rentals, and don't worry about it (yeah, that's shady).

Some have old beaters they don't mind getting demolished.

Big hail and trying to spin up a nado over East McKinney.

Looking to get into amateur storm chasing if anyone's got any tips that would be awesome.

They say you should worry about the storm but say instead "I AM THE STORM"and you should drive straight into it because no man can respect himself who doesn't stare into the abyss.

Today's gonna suck. Cap is gone and massive instability.

Gonna be an expensive hail storm

Looking at dew points, south of i20 is more primed that north of that.

Means south of there and along the boundary greater risk of tornados. North of it's gonna be big hail. Also a possibility the boundary pulls north and creates risk for tornados in metro proper.

Already spotters are reporting tennis ball hail on the cell in Wise county.

Gonna be a day.

The northern dividing line is probably closer to middle of the county where the tornado watch is showing, in my opinion. So downtown for both Dallas and Fort Worth could probably go either way from tornado vs. t-storm watch.

FTAG, how does one check on the status of "the cap"?

You need to be able to read the Skew-T chart (I can't):
