http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/ww0311.html

 Tornado Watch #311 states this:
TORNADOES…HAIL TO 3.5 INCHES IN DIAMETER…THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS TO 80 MPH…AND DANGEROUS LIGHTNING ARE POSSIBLE IN THESE AREAS.

DISCUSSION…VERY UNSTABLE AIR MASS WITH MLCAPES AOA 3000 J/KG AND LITTLE REMAINING INHIBITION ARE IN PLACE AHEAD OF COLD FRONT ACROSS NRN TX/SRN OK.  THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP RAPIDLY DURING THE AFTERNOON ALONG/AHEAD OF COLD FRONT AND THE DRY LINE EXTENDING SWD IN NRN TX.  MDT/STG DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL SUPPORT SUPERCELLS INCLUDING THREAT OF VERY LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES.

Earlier this morning the chance of severe weather was a slight risk and it was upgraded to a moderate risk this afternoon.

Well I thought at one time we were going to lose a window. The hail was coming down so hard and fast I couldn’t believe it. I would say Dime to Marble size hail. Our street turned into a complete river.

I don’t think any of my pictures turned out but will check them out later and see what they look like and post them.

Earlier in the night there was a tornado warning out west by Mineral Wells and Weatherford. Spotters did confirm a touchdown out by Aledo, tx.

Our Sirens went off but not sure why as there was no warning. But always exciting to hear.

Currently there is a Mesoscale Discussion for our area and Oklahoma for possible severe weather starting in the next few hours.  It is stating that a band of thunderstorms is expected to develop.  Large Hail and Damaging wind gusts may occur and a watch may be required.

While reading the Meso Discussion I got a text message about a Severe Thunderstorm Watch #204 for our area from 3:00pm till 10:00pm tonight.  The watch mentions possible hail to 2 inches and thunderstorm gusts to 70mph and of course dangerous lightning.

Looks like we will be getting a tornado watch here pretty soon…
Here is some of the discussion:

STORMS ARE INCREASING ACROSS PARTS OF N TX AND INTO ADJACENT SERN OK
WITHIN ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELLS. NEW TORNADO WATCH WILL
LIKELY BE REQUIRED.

MOIST/UNSTABLE AIRMASS IS EVIDENT ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF NE TO
SW-ORIENTED DRYLINE EXTENDING FROM CENTRAL OK SWWD INTO WRN N TX.
FURTHER E…PERSISTENT CLOUD COVER ACROSS PARTS OF N CENTRAL AND
NERN TX AND INTO SERN OK HAS HINDERED BOUNDARY-LAYER
HEATING/DESTABILIZATION TO SOME DEGREE. HOWEVER…AS SLY LOW-LEVEL
FLOW INCREASES OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS…FURTHER DESTABILIZATION
ATOP THE CLOUDY BOUNDARY LAYER IS EXPECTED.

Earlier non-official reports indicated 4″+ (Softball Size) Hail South of Witchita Falls Earlier.
Tonight could still prove to be interesting…

Looks like there is a discussion up for our area for late morning early afternoon.
They are uncertain this will produce a watch but we will have to wait and see..

Link to Discussion: http://spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0537.html

Here is the first part of the discussion:
TSTMS /INITIALLY ELEVATED/ MAY INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY
   LATE THIS MORNING INTO AFTERNOON.  INITIALLY LARGE HAIL WOULD BE THE
   PRIMARY HAZARD.  BUT AS STORMS BECOME MORE SURFACE-BASED…AN
   ATTENDANT THREAT OF TORNADOES AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL CONCURRENTLY
   INCREASE.  THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHETHER DEVELOPING
   STORMS WILL BECOME SUSTAINED…NECESSITATING A WW THIS MORNING.  IT
   DOES APPEAR THAT A WW WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED AT SOME POINT LATER
   TODAY.

They havent updated the Hazardous outlook since this morning so that stays the same
