Well, you know, a lot of people are trying to get summer vacation underway,
get catch some flights at AD FW Love Field, but
it's been
a
lot of dodging the, the thunderstorms, you know, this morning, uh, you know, Pete
leaving town was talking about when's the best time to get on the flight?
And he was asking you,
of course, he was, you think, you think he knows anything about weather?
Uh No, I'm kidding. It's a joke.
You've heard of those, right? Uh
So, so yeah, it's, it's, it's been kind of a pain the last week. So
we need to break. We're not there yet. Next round is on the way.
So we'll have the, you know, the break is gonna last for the next six hours or so.
Then more thunderstorms are coming in late tonight. High. Today was 77.
The normal is 88.
So we, you know, we stayed cooler than normal because of all of the rain and clouds.
We're still at 69 right now. DFW with east winds, uh, very light three miles an hour.
Radar is quiet across the metroplex.
We had every county, everybody in the Dallas Fort Worth area earlier this afternoon
was under a flash flood warning
that even in parts of Johnson and Ellis counties, Parker County wise county,
Rockwall County.
Now the flash flood warnings are to the south
toward Waco. The thunderstorms have moved out of North Texas.
We are in a lull for the next several hours, but if you look off to the west,
that's our next chance for thunderstorms.
And it's been a very busy day.
Here was round one that moved through this
morning and brought very heavy rain to mainly
Denton and Collin counties and parts of uh
Cook and Fanon counties and Grayson counties.
Then round two moved in this afternoon that promoted
the flash flood warnings in Dallas and Fort Worth.
And now round three again taking shape out to the west.
So this next batch of rain will get here late tonight.
We're talking after midnight for many
uh in North Texas. Here's the timing
thunderstorms. We, we kind of congeal out to the west
and we'll have this broken line of thunderstorms by 11 o'clock
in parts of, uh, you know, a Abilene up to Albany into Graham by midnight,
Dallas Fort Worth area still, you know,
sometime around one o'clock or two o'clock
in the morning is when these thunderstorms
will move into the metroplex and they could have some gusty winds with them,
you know, 50 maybe up to 60 miles an hour.
I can't rule out a couple of severe thunderstorm warnings tonight.
The expectation is the farther east this line, this line moves,
uh, the weaker it will get
now it will have heavy rain with it.
So there will be some isolated flash flooding again.
Obviously, the soils are very saturated. We've had a ton of rain today.
This will just, you know, give that chance for more flash flooding tonight.
So there's two o'clock in the morning, heavy rain overnight, some thunder,
some lightning, maybe some gusty winds or small hail at 35 o'clock in the morning.
If you're an early morning commuter,
uh there's gonna be some rain around Dallas Fort
Worth areas and especially east by six and seven.
Most of the rain is east of the metroplex
a bit of a break early
uh Friday morning. So here's the risk of severe weather tonight.
It's a level two slight risk for the metroplex, damaging winds up to 60.
That's the main risk followed by hail up to the size of quarters.
The tornado threat very, very low tonight
in North Texas.
If there will be a tornado,
it would be a very brief spin up and it would likely be in this orange shaded area,
not here in the metroplex, not most of North Texas, most of North Texas,
just some gusty winds, some heavy rain, some small hail.
Then on Friday,
more waves of thunderstorms are likely and this next batch looks
to roll southwest of the metroplex Friday morning into the afternoon,
leaving most of North Texas quiet
Friday afternoon, Friday evening
Friday overnight and even Saturday morning,
any thunderstorms that do kind of pulse up, uh, on Friday could be severe and again,
mainly southwest.
That's where that level two,
slight risk is in place for up to 60 mile an
hour wind gust and hail up to the size of quarters,
more scattered thunderstorms in the forecast through the weekend tonight,
69 showers and storms, some of them could be severe.
Tomorrow's 80.
Uh, the thunderstorms are mainly in the morning
and as we go through the next 14 days, I wish I could tell you it's all over with,
but there's more on the way, more scattered showers and thunderstorms.
More chances for rain even beyond that high temperatures
go back into the nineties the following week.
It may be a little bit more calm
that second week of June. But still some chances for thunderstorms
as the nasty spring rolls on.
