   Areas affected...North-Central TX

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 92...

   Valid 050218Z - 050415Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 92 continues.

   SUMMARY...Tornado threat continues across north-central Texas.

   DISCUSSION...Weak surface low appears to be evolving just southwest
   of the Metroplex with an attendant warm front extending downstream
   just south of the Red River into southwest AR. Warm advection, and
   higher SRH values will remain concentrated along this corridor as
   mid 60s surface dew points advance north of I-20 into this region. A
   complex MCS has evolved north of the Metroplex this evening with
   embedded supercell over northern Collin County. While some large
   hail has been noted with the stronger cores, and continues to be a
   threat, the risk for tornadoes may actually increase over the next
   few hours, especially with more discrete updrafts, as better
   moisture advances into the stronger low-level shear.

Low-level shear is pretty weak still but it has strengthened

 

[Iceresistance]

Radar is showing a Mini Bow Echo NE of DFW & north of I-20

Possible two spinup tornadoes near FWD radar

Yep just went tor warned

[ClicheVortex2014]

Ok so it was actually a supercell with a mesovortex plus the tornadic circulation. Mesovortex circulation went away but... yeah. 

Debris signature

[ElectricStorm]

Nasty embedded supercell here 

[ClicheVortex2014]

Big picture shows that if it's in the warm sector, it can go severe. Also shows a possible rear inflow jet in NE TX. Good sign of a maturing MCS.

[ClicheVortex2014]

Healthy MCS. Embedded supercell on the southern end.

Just woke up, already an embedded supercell that has producing a damaging tornado, i almost missed it

It’s actually PDS warned right now.

[Neoncyclone]

Looks like the storm cycled and has a PDS tornado warning now.

Pds warned

[Neoncyclone]

Next scan will tell for sure but pretty sure the other tornado wanred storm has dropped a probably brief tornado 

EDIT: It's confirmed

Edited April 5, 2022 by Neoncyclone

[Neoncyclone]

The tornadic storm to the north still has a confirmed tornado doing damage again as well.

 

[TLChip]

Some rotation in this cell 

[Neoncyclone]

Discrete supercell ahead of the line north of Greenville, AL, rotation getting stronger.

 

[ElectricStorm]

CC drop near Wetumpka NE of Montgomery. Tornado likely on the ground

[ElectricStorm]

Southern cell has a debris ball probably a large tornado on the ground

[Neoncyclone]

Possibly large tornado near Orion, might get a pds warning looks like a good candidate.

 

[Neoncyclone]

Might be two tornadoes

The Southern Circulation already has a Debris ball.

45% Wind threat in Georgia & Alabama, but it's a Enhanced risk? I'm confused

Unhatched 45 is still enhanced. It's not used very much so it can be a bit confusing. 45 hatched is moderate and they use that more.
