Keep aware of where the forecast critical areas and be especially mindful of Enhanced and greater risk areas. Avoid these areas and especially larger developing cells during peak times (usually late afternoons and early evenings, but not always) when/where possible

Large hail threat. Late afternoon Sunday 3/26. Central Oklahoma and north of DFW area along I-35 corridor. Generally from north of DFW area to OKC and about 100 miles east and west of I-35. With activity beginning west then progressing eastward.

Tornados can not be ruled out but the biggest threat will be the larger, discreet cells that can get well organized. Any that can top 40k feet can expect hail cores to release large hail in excess of 1.5 inches. Large enough to be dangerous and damaging.

Looks like to be an ideal setup for fairly widespread hail damage to crops and property.

 

This Sunday 3/26 setup is very fluid and some ingredients and timing are coming together in a way that the tornadic threat is increasing especially if we continue to see the cloud coverage over SW Oklahoma decrease as it is now allowing some nice heating get underway to light the fuse.

 

Well, so much for that. Looks like some snow accumulations are expected the next several days across the intermountain west Wed-Fri at least
