Dead calm here but violent with radio warnings to the south.
We are on the edge of something beautiful but deadly.

Is this an MCC? Sun just set and storm building.

Done! I'll let you know when they post... they have to go through a manual review first (that's how they keep the pictures relevant). :rolleyes:
 
here is what the NWS said about it

DISCUSSION...

LATEST SFC ANALYSIS FRONT HAS STALLED OVER THE BIG BEND...AND
EXTENDS E-NE ACROSS TEXAS TO KSHV...AND WILL BE THE FOCUS OF
CONVECTION 1ST PD. UPPER TROUGH OVER SRN CA WILL BEGIN MOVING EAST
TODAY...DRAWING A WARM FRONT INTO WEST TEXAS AS LEESIDE TROUGHING
STRENGTHENS. AS WARM SECTOR MOVES NORTH...INCREASING WESTERLY FLOW
WEST OF THE FA WILL BEGIN SHARPENING UP A DRYLINE OVER THE HIGHER
TERRAIN BY 00Z. MODELS DIFFER ON HOW FAR NORTH THE WARM FRONT GETS
THIS AFTERNOON...WITH THE NAM ADVANCING IT ONLY AS FAR AS
KFST...WHILE THE GFS TAKES IT TO THE WESTERN LOW ROLLING PLAINS BY
00Z THURSDAY. LATEST ECMWF ALSO TAKES IT FURTHER NORTH THAN THE
NAM...SO WE/LL LEAN TOWARD THE GFS/ECMWF SOLUTION. CONVERGENCE
ALONG THIS FEATURE WILL RESULT IN INCREASING CHANCES OF CONVECTION
INTO TONIGHT...AIDED BY A 45+KT LLJ DEVELOPING OVER THE EASTERN
ZONES AFTER 00Z. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND
MID-LVL LRS SUPPORTIVE OF SUPERCELLS...W/HAIL BEING THE MAIN
THREAT. 0-3KM/0-1KM HELICITIES AND LOW LCLS ALSO HINT AT A TORNADO
THREAT...AND THIS BEARS WATCHING.
 
Good morning, Dave.

I've been covering the ER in Ballinger (E30, near San Angelo) since yesterday a.m. We got quite a bit of rain/hail/wind out of the edge of some front; and this morning it's about 65 degrees outside!

Hope your morning is as well! It's all suddenly so green... :)
 
 
Hi Dave, I looked out the porch door and saw the same clouds - ran back in and got my camera too. Then Kevin and I drove into town to see if we could see the anvil above the leading wing of it but it was moving so fast at the time that I never did get to see above it. We watched it for a long time and I saw the mammatus form and dissipate and then the whole thing just sort of quit and backed up just over our house. No hail here though or precip either. I've never seen anything like it out here. Stacked lenticulars and huge black wall clouds sure but not that stuff. I was very glad that we had returned from Santa Fe, NM a couple of days before. Julie can't outrun anything but sometimes an 18 wheeler on the interstate :).....
For those of you who don't know - Julie is my name for my Cessna 152
 
Hi Jean
Someone in Alpine put it on youtube as well. Never did hear of reports from south county - bet someone got pounded.

Here is one of the Haystacks (local hill) looks volcano-esque - a few weeks ago..
admission: heavily modified to highlight the clouds.

Interesting that you get the same clouds there as we do here, and at the same time of day. These were taken a couple months ago.
