Updated Friday/night rainfall: 0.93"

Friday afternoon: 0.54"
Friday overnight: 0.39"

A pretty close call for severe weather. The National Weather Service posted a tornado warning for southern Denton County for about an hour last night. The supercell storm moved from our west to our north, threatening Argyle, Corinth and Denton, but no tornado ever formed. Only a couple of large hail reports, from Ponder and Krum.

As I was watching FOX 4 during the worst of the weather last night, I kept waiting for that supercell to make a right-turn (back toward the east or southeast), as many supercells do. Had it turned started bearing right while over the Speedway, we could have been in its path. Gotta keep your eyes on the sky (or at least on the radar) when a storm that big is so close to home.
