Supercells Capable of 2 to 3 Inch Big Hail Targeting Dallas Abilene and San Angelo Texas Today May 19 Late Afternoon With 15 Percent Probability

DALLAS, TEXAS — Residents across Dallas, Abilene, and San Angelo need to be ready for big hail late today May 19 as a few supercells are forecast to produce hail ranging from 2 to 3 inches in diameter across the North and Central Texas corridor, with Max Velocity Weather hail probability maps updated at 3:28 AM ET showing a 15 percent probability zone centered directly over the Dallas through San Angelo corridor.

Forecasters are urging residents to protect vehicles by parking in garages ahead of the afternoon storm arrival as hail of this size is fully capable of destroying windshields and causing significant vehicle damage.

15 Percent Core Hail Zone Centered Over Dallas Through San Angelo With 2 to 3 Inch Hail Possible

The Max Velocity Weather hail probability map shows a yellow 15 percent zone concentrated across the Dallas southward through San Angelo corridor, representing the highest probability area for 2 inch or larger hail from supercell storms developing late today across North and Central Texas.

Supercells capable of producing 2 to 3 inch hail represent a serious property damage threat, with stones of this size fully capable of destroying vehicle windshields, damaging roofs, and causing significant harm to any vehicles or property left exposed during the storm passage.

The 15 percent probability zone is surrounded by a broader 5 percent hail risk area extending across a wider swath of Texas including Lubbock, Amarillo, Oklahoma City, and Houston.

Broad 5 Percent Hail Risk Covering Entire Eastern Half of United States Today

Beyond the core Texas hail threat, the Max Velocity Weather outlook shows a broad 5 percent hail probability covering an enormous geographic footprint across the entire eastern half of the United States stretching from Texas and Oklahoma northeastward through Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh, New York, Boston, and down the entire eastern seaboard.

This widespread 5 percent zone reflects the broad severe weather pattern in place today across the country, though the greatest concentrated hail threat remains firmly focused on the Dallas, Abilene, and San Angelo corridor in Texas.

Residents across Dallas, Abilene, and San Angelo are strongly urged to move vehicles into garages or covered parking before late afternoon storms arrive today to protect against the potentially significant 2 to 3 inch hail threat. Stay with GordonRamsayClub.com for the latest updates.
