Is HUGE Hail On The Weather Menu For Tuesday In North Texas?

Worrisome weather prediction report for North Texas for Tuesday from my favorite Texas weatherman, via Facebook....

METEOROLOGIST NOTES - @710AM MON APR 25,2016 - Area: Texas/Oklahoma/Kansas - Timing: Tuesday, April 26th. THIS IS NOT AN NWS PRODUCT. Have been inundated with questions, comments, and concerns regarding the potential for severe storms on Tuesday through Wednesday across the Southern Plains. I have chosen to keep all client updates private at this time as the candid nature of those client-centric forecasts could be alarming to some across this region. That said, It is now time to begin lifting the veil and exposing our significant concerns across the Southern Plains on Tuesday Afternoon and especially evening. I will not go into great detail at this time in my notes but will rather save the details for outlooks later today and Tuesday morning. I will say the following however, there is a SIGNIFICANT CHANCE of EXTREME SEVERE WEATHER TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND TUESDAY NIGHT. This risk will be present along and West of a line from just South of Waco to the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, to Oklahoma, to Central Kansas. Gigantic Hail (Softball Size), Large and Damaging Tornadoes, Damaging Straight Line Winds, and Flash Flooding is possible in this region. My greatest concern for Large Tornadoes actually exists AFTER DARK Tuesday from North Central Texas in Central Oklahoma. Nighttime tornadoes can be especially dangerous as they are much harder to spot. Also, an extremely moist airmass will make the Super-Cell storms, that will produce these tornadoes high-precipitation in nature. This will likely cause any tornadoes that do form to become quickly rain wrapped further obscuring the ability to spot these tornadoes without Doppler radar or power flashes (where damage is already occurring). Tuesday night could easily shape up to be a VERY DANGEROUS situation for people in or close to any storms that form. Earlier in the day on Tuesday from Mid-Afternoon through early evening my greatest concern for severe weather will be GIGANTIC HAIL to SOFTBALL SIZE. We will continue to monitor this very dangerous weather situation and issue updated forecasts and pass along watches and warnings as conditions warrant... - THIS IS NOT AN NWS PRODUCT.
