An outflow boundary from this morning's Mesoscale Convective System has helped re-initiate thunderstorms between Abilene and Lubbock, TX. The environment there is highly unstable, with CAPE values expected to reach ~3,000 J/kg this afternoon. Supercells that fire are likely to be long-lasting and may persist well into the evening, with very large hail and tornadoes possible with any storm. 

TVN's own Reed Timmer is shown below preparing to deploy to the area; they are currently en route and will be checking in as updates become available!

Sure Ya'll get to have the fun action...we're flooding out here on the Red River...over 5 inches of rain...and its all training...local predictions is that Lake Texoma will rise at anywhere from 5-10 feet within the next 3 days ( at the least).

Also regarding the earlier reports on the children on Healdton, OK..injuries were minor, just mostly cuts from broken windows at school from winds est. anywhere from 65-80 mph. Severe flooding in that same area, which is near Lone Grove, (EF4 2-10-2009), area also recently had windfires which burned a lot of vegetation.

Stay Safe out there guys!

Yes definetly tornado and hail possible.In the tornado watch expect hail to 4inches with stronger storms and a few tornados/but not a tornado outbreak.I think further southwest along the dryline more potent supercells will form then in tornado watch.Just southwest of tornado watch 4,000 cape will form along increasing shear axis late afternoon/evening.primary uncertainty is development that far south,but if storms form they will form quickly due to high cape/but strong cap

Reed's computer died the other night so that's why they haven't been showing up on the tracker. They'll be back on there hopefully by the end of the week.

Rockin digs there Reed!!!

I say you get a custom vest logo with the wings as is, but a tornado in the middle instead of the bird. Then I think any storm here on out would fear your wrath.

Ok enough joking, good luck out there today and stay safe.

Absolutely beautiful shot of a tornado on Dave's stream. They were in the samer spot, so I thought it was Ben. xD My bad.

The tornado that drummond and ben holcomb caught was a one of the best twisters i have seen in a long time.A narrow rope to at times cone chaped.That tornado was a very violent one,thank god it didn: hit anyones house.I think an enhenced risk of tornados will form this evening.I expect heights to fall as well as a low level jet to get stronger.Given the cape around i might need a 15% tornado risk later,but will keep 10% hatched for now.Update:i have upgraded far south texas near mexico border 15% risk for tornados.twin supercells have 4,000 cape and 250 to 30001km shear based on models.I think strong tornados seem likely there next few hours.
