January: Increasing Clouds/Rain & Warmer To End Month

[Paul]

I dont see much rotation in these....maybe a rain wrapped EF0 could be imbedded in these...

[wxman57]

The storms definitely don't look as severe as the storms on the 9th. More widespread heavy rain, though.

[Paul]

the leading edge is on my door step....not much lightning to look at...just windy and dark...

that is one big cold top moving into DT..probably a 60dbz

Impressive storm system. It does appear a more widespread heavy rainfall event will be the 'big story'. 4.37 inches at my location added to the 1.67 from January 9th makes for a nice monthly recovery with our ongoing drought. I'm seeing some 6+ inch totals in the Dallas area and the Hill Country Lakes did well also.

Definitely keep them at work. If they head out now they'll be driving in the worst of the conditions that we'll experience. The back end of the squall line is almost to the Galleria area now. Should be all quiet with flooded streets clearing out by 3pm or so.

Thank you Wxman - this is EXACTLY what I needed.
