Winds are pretty strong but oddly more pronounced in the upper levels of atmosphere. Very muggy. Hot and cold temps swirling at ground level and lifting. Breaks in the clouds here in Oklahoma show that we are covered by developing supercells. I'm leaving for business but want to leave this thread up for any developments and links.
Looks like it's going to be a long day for some FReepers in the Midwest/Southern Plains.

Prayers up for people in the storms path!

Texas will be the target for some strong storms on Friday as a spring storm takes shape across the region. Ahead of the storm, southeasterly winds will bring ample Gulf moisture into Texas. At the same time, cold air aloft moving in behind the storm will clash with this warm, humid air mass, causing thunderstorms to develop. To top it all off, a powerful jet stream will be in place overhead. Very large hail and tornadoes will be the primary threats with these storms. Although all of western and central Texas will under the gun, residents of Abilene, San Angelo, Midland and Odessa should be especially on guard, since the strongest storms will likely be in your area.

Here on the Texas High Plains nortwest of Lubbock we appear to be right on the northwest edge of the violent storms shown of the Accu Weather map. The skies are mostly clear but the winds are at the moment gusting pretty good from the north out of large thunderheads to our north and east. The large clouds appear to moving north/northeast away from us.
Vehicle is in the garage in case of hail this evening, and the storm shelter is ready for as many neighbors as I can pack inside if we have to.

AccuWeather.com is forecasting the heaviest storms will hit the area that includes Abilene, San Angelo, Midland and Odessa. When I was stationed at Goodfellow AFB, watching the T-storms roll in was a favorite past-time. It's quite remarkable!
