Tornadoes rip through Dallas metro area
Posted by: AngelaFritz, 21:36 GMT le 03 avril 2012 +42
At least three tornadoes have ripped through the Dallas metro area this afternoon, one passing between Dallas and Fort Worth, bearing down on the Dallas-Fort Worth airport but narrowly missing to the east. The other two tornadoes passed east of Dallas, one touching down near the town of Forney, where there were reports of impacts to the high school. The DFW airport issued a ground stop for all incoming flights and grounded all planes at their airports, and a spokesman said they were sheltering passengers. The airport is now closed while they inspect the planes for hail damage, and can accept no incoming flights for lack of a place to put them.

Residential neighborhoods were completely destroyed in the Arlington tornado, and tractor trailers were tossed like toys. Extensive damage was done to the Green Oaks nursing home and rehab center, which is just east of Lake Arlington. The Arlington tornado was on the ground for approximately 30 minutes. In addition to the tornadoes, trained storm spotters were reporting hail up to three inches in diameter, which is approximately the size of a baseball.

The mayor and city council of Arlington, Texas declared a state of disaster for the city when, just an hour after the tornado had passed through, it was obvious that the area had sustained incredible damage.

Tornado warnings continue to be issued, and the potential for severe thunderstorms with and tornadoes will continue through the evening in eastern Texas, Oklahoma, southern Arkansas, and Louisiana. The convective outlook paints a good picture of the tornado potential for the rest of the evening. If you're in one of these regions, stay alert for tornado watches or warnings that may be issued.

Please source this. The NWS has Maitland at 91 degrees. No station in FL has a max temp over 91. I see a PWS at a tire station in Maitland at 94 (highly unreliable). I know you hype just about everything, including models 7 days out and El Nino/La Nina models 6 months out and storms that are supposed to happen every day in FL and heck just about everything that has to do with a non-event. Anyhow.


sorry to correct you, but ft myers set a new record high today at 92 degrees.

For the weather Newbies on the Blog (for the second time in 2 weeks now); that large blob of convection in the Gulf of Mexico IS NOT the first tropical storm of the 2012 hurricane season..........:)
But but but.... I see a pinhole eye! Don't you see it?

Sure you might have to tilt your monitor, adjust the resolution and contrast while standing on one foot and squinting really really hard but it's there. I totally see it.

Evening Everybody.
Due to a repeated failure of some of the pages to appear properly I have followed the advice of Taz from last year and been forced to install the Chrome thing.
It is almost incomprehensible but does display the blog pages reasonably well, tells me I am spelling most words wrong and as of yet I have not discovered any forms of features on it that could be deemed useful other than it is very white in appearance!
I have installed it under a "new user profile, entitled 'Tonto,' idiot in Spanish." As I have no idea how to use it, must be designed for young people?
The lengths one has to go to to read everybody's posts!
This disappearance of about one third of the comment page is extremely boring but at least if the blog goes loco then I can switch user and still read it!
I note the the North of England is snow clad and gridlocked with a brief attack of winter up to 7 foot drifts and that the people are having difficulties baling out of the place due to lack of airport security staff, even though there are millions of unemployed people in the UK.
That's a very big blob Grother found.



I installed Chrome a last year and I couldn't get used to it. It did display websites well, but It changed many of my settings and wasn't user friendly. I could never find anything I wanted. I think you have to be under 21 for it to work well.

Lol...But seriously, it has been very "bloby" around the Gulf and Central America lately (much more so than in recent years at this time). I have no idea if it has any relationship to the very mild winter and/or water vapor issues and the relatively warm SST's but just an observation. I will be real curious to see what happens in terms of the upcoming E-Pac season in a few weeks time and whether they jump off to an active start of their season in May.

It's been insane on the TX/LA Coast. I've lived around the Gulf all my life and I've never seen it like this.

Looks like a new blob (small one) is trying to get going around Brazoria County/Galveston. I've got family there and they are getting hammered by severe storms dropping large hail. It hardly ever hails like this in that area so it is unusual.

I use on the other log on IE 8 which works perfectly except when somebody posts something that might have to do with a video and then the right hand third of the posts disappears, this is very boring and unless somebody "quotes," a post then I cant read all of the post.
When I was in England a while back I installed a "bogus user account," on an old XP computer there and put the chrome thing on it as TAZ said last year, it gets round the missing third page factor.
The problem with the Chrome thing is it doesn't put the heading to the blog on it along with missing off everything else as well. No doubt given an infinite life span, along with infinite patience, I could eventually figure out how to get the thing to look like IE 8. I fear I will run out of life before I can achieve this! At the moment 'all is just a very interesting shade of white, with a lot of blank spaces on it!'
Having said that, as soon as the missing third of the page enacts itself I can switch user to "tonto," and read the full 50 post page and then when the page reloads I can switch user back to my usual log on and continue with all the normal features of the IE * pager.
Bit of a bore but gets round the missing third of a page problem.
I have no idea of older and newer versions of WU! I only stopped by 2 years ago to check on SSTs in the gulf and sort of got locked in since then.

The last report that I got, Weather Service announcement, had Brazoria County under a severe thunderstorm warming until 5:43 PM this evening. ... 5:43? That is pinpoint forecasting.

I am just above there now, near Hobby Airport, and we have only had some light, scattered rains.

I would upgrade to Win 3.11. Should you then put C:\Windows at the beginning of the path statement, in the autoexec.bat file, you could run Windows in 32 bit mode.

That system out in the GOM was potent last night right thru dawn here. Never saw so much vivid lightening in me life here.

And my Patience was wearing thin on the NWS Alerts from the Midland WR-100.


But I resisted the urge to pull the AC out the back of it, cuz then my batteries would get wear.

OK, well I have been using the older version of WU, which you can use if you add classic. to the front of the URL so you have this:

instead of:

http://wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment. html?entrynum=2066#yourcomment

I don't know if this will help with IE8 but it makes the site better for me when I use Firefox. Worth a try. I find the older version of the site looks better to me. Give it a try with IE and see what you think.

It is not likely this will hold together. Systems like these need the daytime heating to maintain themselves. Probably just a few heavy showers

FYI - 2004 was an El Nino year. The significance of a season is all relative to path of the storms that do form.

311 PM CDT Wednesday Apr 4 2012


Synopsis...
slow moving upper level low over Texas Panhandle will drift east
tonight. Associated with the upper level low is a low pressure
trough in East Texas. The upper level low and trough will move
east tonight causing another round of thunderstorms and heavy rain
to develop across the area late this evening and over night. Used
consensus of GFS and European model (ecmwf) models as basis for forecast.


&&


Short term...
a few hours Grace before thunderstorms develop or move into the
area from the west tonight. There is a slight risk of severe
thunderstorms in the area. There is a even greater risk of 2 to 3
inches of heavy rain overnight. Most of the area got 2 to 3 inches
of rainfall during the past 24 hours...so the ground is saturated
and any heavy rain will result in flash flooding.
