Sadly we've lost a southern plains weather icon today with Gary England of Oklahoma News 9 passing away at 85 years old. Tornado, storm chasing history and the lore of Oklahoma Severe Weather will long look favorably on this man for his life long contributions.

Legendary News 9 Chief Meteorologist Gary England, a pioneer in severe weather broadcasting and trusted voice for generations of Oklahomans, has died at 85.

Another round of wind and hail storms across the Texas Panhandle, South Plains, Permian Basin and later down into the San Angelo and rolling plains out east later tonight.

I think this is mostly going to be a giant hail (tennis balls or maybe larger!) and high winds. Tornado potential is not high, but it's not zero either, mostly along any boundary and probably short lived if we do get one. The hail will be enough!

Probably something like we've seen in recent days.

I unfortunately will not be able to be out chasing today, I have prior obligations, but watch you local weather news sources for updates!

Chasing in West Texas!

POST IS NOW OUTDATED: TUESDAY 5/28/24 WEATHER UPDATE - DRAMATIC CHANGE

The MCS that went through the eastern half of Texas earlier today has changed the afternoon/evening forecast considerably, mostly due to a huge outflow boundary easily seen on the Lubbock , TX radar image I included here. Not only does it bring a significant source of lift and a focus for thunderstorm development, it also brought higher moisture with it.

Most intense storms should fire off this boundary and move east-southeast into the higher moisture, but any storm that can turn right and ride down this boundary would have a much enhanced chance of tornadoes! At any rate, all hazards possible this afternoon with any storm.

Here we go again! This time in/near my home area. Pay attention tomorrow people! This season has proven to be a rough one! This one is for tomorrow TUESDAY MAY 28, 2024. Not just home area but a large part of Texas. Although model output it appears much of the central Texas weather may be in the form of high winds/hail and the tornadoes may be more in the northwest part of the outlook. We'll see what morning data brings. I wouldn't be surprised to see this evolve into an overnight derecho across TX which could be devastating in a wide swath.
