[Ansteorra] ALERT - Severe Weather Sunday/Monday

[barrett1 at cox.net]

This is primarily of concern to those traveling back from war Sunday.

Chasers are flooding into North/Central Texas and Oklahoma right now, due to a massive trough of cold air moving into the Panhandle this weekend. When this trough begins to force its way eastward on Sunday and Monday, the potential for extremely severe weather, including large hail and tornadoes, will increase by a large degree. 

Currently, Meteorologists are saying the system has the sort of set-up usually seen in May or Early June.

If you are traveling home through Central Texas, North Texas or the State of Oklahoma on Sunday or Monday, keep an eye out for supercells and large thunderstorms. Charge your laptop/iphone/ipad/ cellphone so that you can monitor weather radar on the road.
Make plans for where to stop along the route should severe weather be in your path. Remember, a gas station bathroom is ten times safer than an underpass.

Make sure you don't leave any personal essentials outside in your vehicle during this period. 
In other words, don't leave the unpacking for later.

Hopefully, most of you will be home by the time this system starts setting off storms.

Stay safe.
