This Storm Threat Just Got A LOT Worse...
YouTube video by Ryan Hall, Y'all This Storm Threat Just Got A LOT Worse...

This is today's weather update by Ryan Hall. A dangerous multi-day severe weather outbreak with strong tornadoes and flooding is developing, while record March warmth sets up a dramatic reversal.

Somewhere out there,
someone is listening to birds instead of breaking news-and the world feels a little more hopeful there.

Sounds like a good plan. The forecasts are for tomorrow to be a bad day for severe storms and tornadoes

The thought for today is by Paulo Coelho: "It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting". It highlights that chasing dreams brings excitement and meaning to the journey, rather than just the final result

 Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected late this afternoon into
   tonight from northwest Texas and the Texas Panhandle into western
   Oklahoma and southern/central Kansas. Large to very large hail, a
   few tornadoes, and severe/damaging winds will all be possible within
   this corridor.

   ...Southern/Central Plains...
   An upper trough will amplify over the western U.S. today as a broad
   zone of modestly enhanced mid-level southwesterly flow persists over
   the southern/central Plains. At the surface, lee cyclogenesis is
   forecast to occur across eastern CO through this evening, which will
   promote continued northward transport of low-level moisture across
   TX into OK/KS. A surface dryline will also extend southward from the
   low over the southern High Plains. Daytime heating of this moist
   airmass and the presence of steep mid-level lapse rates will support
   the development of at least 1000-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE by late
   afternoon along/east of the dryline. Most guidance continues to
   suggest that convective temperatures will be reached by 21-23Z
   across the southern High Plains.

   While large-scale ascent will remain fairly nebulous, current
   expectations are for increasing low-level convergence along the
   dryline and a strengthening southerly low-level jet to encourage
   convective initiation across the eastern TX Panhandle and vicinity.
   Forecast deep-layer shear around 40 kt will easily support
   supercells with an associated threat for large to very large hail
   initially (potentially up to 2-3 inches in diameter). Increasing
   low-level shear through the evening will also foster enlarged
   low-level hodographs and the potential for a few tornadoes with this
   activity. With time this evening, convection is forecast to grow
   upscale into a small but potentially intense cluster as it moves
   northeastward into parts of western/northern OK and southern/central
   KS.

 Mesoscale Discussion 0133
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0301 PM CST Wed Mar 04 2026

   Areas affected...Parts of north/northeast Texas into southeastern
   Oklahoma

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

   Valid 042101Z - 050000Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

   SUMMARY...A few severe storms are possible this afternoon into the
   evening, with the primary concerns being damaging gusts and severe
   hail. A watch may eventually be needed.

   DISCUSSION...The latest visible satellite imagery shows continued
   diurnal heating/destabilization of a relatively moist air mass
   (middle/upper 60s dewpoints) extending from parts of north/northeast
   TX toward the Red River. Despite weak large-scale forcing for
   ascent, continued erosion of inhibition at the base of the EML (see
   latest DAL ACARS soundings) is promoting isolated convective
   initiation within zones of differential heating and low-level
   confluence. Current thinking is that this trend will continue
   through the afternoon, with mainly isolated storm coverage. While
   modest deep-layer shear (25-30-kt midlevel flow per FWS VWP) and the
   weak large-scale ascent may limit storm organization in the
   near-term, the destabilizing boundary layer and steep midlevel lapse
   rates may still promote locally damaging gusts and sporadic severe
   hail on an isolated basis this afternoon.

   With time, a strengthening southerly low-level jet should favor
   additional storm development and organization later this afternoon
   into the evening, when the risk of damaging winds and severe hail
   should increase. A watch may eventually be needed for parts of the
   area, though timing is uncertain.
