April 2022

Sooooooo are we done with the storms for SETX for today/tonight? I was expecting a little more action? Or is something supposed to transpire overnight?

There's a chance of storms tomorrow also but just like today was, its conditional on the cap breaking.I wouldn't get my hopes up on that happening but its possible.

5.5 inch hail has been confirmed in Salado, TX

I just saw a picture of that. Wow, I can’t believe that! Unreal.

[DoctorMu]

Impressive hail. the tornado looked like an F0.

The energy is north of here. As expected:

Wouldn’t surprise me if some areas around Temple picked up 3 or 4” of rain or more. That was quite a cell that just parked over them for a good while.

5.5 inch size hail? Man thats some serious damage right their

[Cpv17]

Looks like a close call for Hearne (not too far north of BCS).

This is the most promising run of the GEFS yet:

CPV17 unfortunately thats 16 days out

It’s an ensemble. That’s what you look at when you’re talking long range. It’s a good sign.

What I always like to remind people is that sometimes it only takes one storm to break a drought for us. Lol

Where are our storms supposed to start forming? My NWS in Beaumont has 70% storms around 3-5pm. I dont see anything except whats up north.

As predicted.

[DoctorMu]

We had a few sprinkles this am. That's about it.

Some storms may develop around Cleveland, TX this afternoon.

[DoctorMu]

Not much rain in the forecast over the next week. 90° days in April are happening each week, which is early. Lots of trepidation about late Spring and Summer re: drought, heat.

When I woke-up, NWS had raised my chances to 50% for today and the weather app showed 80%.

NWS midday update lowered them to 30%. Just refreshed my phone app and just like that - zap - shows no rain today. In fact, no rain for the next 10 days.

It's always miserable in the summer. Haha! As far as the rain pattern, it's still too early. Remember, last spring was dry like this until about late-April to early May.

12z EURO is showing another system in about a week for us. It looks more promising because this time, the heavier action is more SW in the state.
