‼️Storms Will Be Very Severe Today

Lots of very large hail reports along with damaging winds. And tornadoes?

The busy week of severe weather continues today with what looks to be a near certain widespread severe weather event across North Texas into Southern Oklahoma. A rich low-level airmass along with just enough wind shear will combine to create an environment ripe for powerful storms this afternoon and evening. Let’s dive in.

Rich low-level moisture with dewpoints in the mid-upper 60s will be surging north and west today with slightly backed flow across North Texas into Southern Oklahoma today.

On top of that, modest but just enough 500mb flow given the high instability will be in place with 25-30kt of flow in the mid-levels of the atmosphere.

As that is ongoing, the low-level jet will strengthen to 25-30kt in the early evening.
