viewers to download the WFAA wer
app because things can change so
quickly and things literally chd
in the commercial break, Mario.
And you have the latest.
Yeah, so we were talking about
a slight risk that's a Level 2.
The Dallas Fort Worth area has
been upgraded to a Level 3,
so an enhanced risk and this does include.
A big portion of North Texas tht
moderate risk that Level 4 is nw
including more of our Red River counties.
So definitely one of those days
where we just need to pay atten.
I do want to emphasize the
risks have not changed.
However, whenever we're talking
about how many severe storms tht
looks to be a little bit and ber
agreement that we may see a bit more.
So our coverage will be slightly higher.
So we are still looking at the
same risk golf ball size hail or
larger with the strongest of st.
Not every storm that develops
today will have this.
Strong winds up to 70 mph and tt
isolated tornado threat is also there.
The difference with today is
that we have two things working.
We have that boundary that we'vd
in place the last several days that's
actually going to move and whenever it does,
it's going to help and push
up some thunderstorms.
The second thing we're watching
is this dry line,
and this dry line is what's
going to help pop up some storm.
And the timing of this,
we have a better agreement on because
there's an actual boundary that's moving.
Let me show you what I mean by .
I'm showing you the timeline.
This is Thursday.
We're looking at some cloud cover overhead,
but by around 4:00, we see some clearing.
Between 4:00 and 5:00,
these thunderstorms are going
to start to pop up.
Now these are going to be
more numerous in Oklahoma,
but these thunderstorms
start out as isolated.
These thunderstorms could then
produce hail pretty quickly.
The storms that developed today have the.
Capacity to really intensify pretty quick.
OK.
So these storms move east.
This is now showing you at six.
This looks like anywhere from Wise County,
maybe Parker Palo Pinto at South
towards Meridian is where we see these
thunderstorms move into around .
We could even see this in westen
Tarrant County by this time.
Look at the clock now at 7 at 7.
We'll see these storms along our I-35
corridor counties including Wis,
Denton County, Tarrant,
maybe even Dallas County by
this point and South.
Now around 8:00 we see these
storms moving moving over Dento,
Collin County, Rockwall,
Dallas County towards the east.
And around 9:00 I am expecting a bulk of
the activity to be east of the Metroplex,
but still are eastern counties.
So anywhere from Paris,
Sulphur Springs,
Mineola between 9:00 and about
10:00 or 11:00 we'll still be
dealing with these storms.
We're looking at clearing before midnight.
I am not expecting this
to be an overnight event.
And the other thing that we areo
dealing with, aside from the st,
is the dangerous heat.
We have a heat advisory that's
in place and that
does include Tarrant,
Dallas and Rockwall County to the South.
Temperatures are going to be in the 90s,
a few locations,
maybe even in the triple digits.
Now the other thing is the high humidity.
And that high humidity is what's
making the heat index or the
feels like temperature up to 11.
This is dangerous kind of heat.
Try to avoid being outside for long periods
of time and if you have to be outside,
I know a few of us have to be outside.
Make sure to protect yourself from the sun
and make sure to stay hydrated properly.
Right now fair park showing about 90 degrees,
it's not even noon yet and we're
dealing with 90 degree weather.
It is looking a little hazy outd
we're also seeing just a little
bit of that cloud cover out the,
but we will see some clearing
in the next few hours.
88 degrees Right now our dew pot
or measure of moisture is at 78.
That number is going to stay
elevated and that comes into pl.
When we're talking about the het
index this afternoon though,
high temperature near 98 in Fort Worth,
97 in Dallas.
A few locations could make it
into the triple digits.
I'm talking about our western counties
where it is just a little drier where
that dry line is looking to set.
So our dew point member,
I told you it's about 78 right .
I'm expecting it to stay in that
range Thursday, Friday, Saturda,
that's the uncomfortable catego.
On Sunday we may see the slightest of relief,
but that's not really going
to change our temperature.
Look at this upper 90s,
Thursday, Friday,
Saturday,
the heat index between 1:05 to
1:10 on Sunday,
slightly lower heat index but
still in the triple digits.
Those triple digit temperatures though.
Looking like they come on a Father's Day
and are here to stay through next week.
