Chief meteorologist Pete Delkus with
us once again to sort of layout
the timeline on this and Pete,
the the difficulty with a a system
like this is you've got multiple lines.
You've got things that are popping
up in different places all
across a pretty wide area here.
Yeah you know we've talked about you
know really for most of the week.
You know, we talked about you
know we had two rounds of storms.
You know round one could happen anytime
between noon and you know 4:00 PM that
kind of the isolated random stuff which
we've been seeing that and then round
two would come in to the Metroplex,
you know like 4:00 to 8:00 PM some folks.
Best you know, where are they?
I'm like, well, it's 442,
you know, 4:00 to 8:00 PM.
So we're just beginning that. Yeah.
I'm like, in other words, you know,
we've already had a number. You know,
Denton County's been under a warning.
Cook County has been under a warning.
So, you know, again,
it's kind of the timing has
been accurate and this big line
of storms is back to the West.
I want to show you what that has prompted.
In Fort Worth at 77,
we have some
sun peeking out.
That's not a good thing.
Same thing in Dallas, some sunshine at 77.
That sun is helping to destabilize
and of already unstable atmosphere.
That line of storms out to the West of us,
that's just West of us has prompted this.
It's a tornado watch until 10:00
o'clock tonight, severe thunderstorm
watch until 7:00 o'clock tonight.
So right now I mentioned we're all fairly
quiet right now across the Metroplex.
We have a thunderstorm that's up here in
the northern portion of Fannin County.
That thunderstorm right now that that
will continue to move across the Red
River here momentarily moving to the
Northeast that crosses the Red River
and right now it's north of bottom,
so it's it's moving.
In Oklahoma as we speak,
we've had this one little severe
thunderstorm that's produced a tornado,
tornado on the ground out there.
That's in, this is in Hopkins County.
So this is all Hopkins County
all through here.
So that tornado has touched down.
It's still on the ground right now,
a pretty rural part of Hopkins County,
but there's a couple locations
where we've had some damage.
Damage has been reported in Picton.
Picton is just to the South of the
the cell of this thunderstorm,
so we have some damage out there, so.
Please, if you live around Talco, stay alert.
Franklin, Red River, Titus counties.
A tornado warning in effect until
5:00 o'clock tonight. There we are.
It'll arrive in Talco at 5:01 and then
it crosses the Red River after that.
Cherry at 519 and Box elder at
to 525 off to the West.
So all the activity I just showed you,
that's round one.
This is round two.
And our final round of storms.
There's the line of storms right now.
Palo Pinto County under a severe
thunderstorm warning at this moment.
That's where the storms are now.
That's where they'll be.
It's 444,
that's where they be in 15 minutes.
The entering downtown Fort
Worth about 6:00 o'clock or so.
The arrival time in downtown
Dallas about 7:00 o'clock or so.
The cold front as it continues
to move to the east.
It's in Fort Worth about 8.
Once the front moves through your area,
your severe weather threat is over.
It'll be in Dallas at 9:00 o'clock.
The cold front will.
The thunderstorms are severe in
advance of that front at 10:00 o'clock
tonight and then at 11:00 o'clock.
The cold fronts up east of the
Metroplex and it continues to stay
to the east and that's why that
tornado watch is in effect until
10:00 o'clock tonight for North Texas.
And Jesse,
meteorologist Jesse Hawla with me here.
Jesse, behind that cold front,
we have very, very strong winds.
Yes.
And
some of you may see your strongest
winds over the next 24 hours.
Out of what's behind the front,
we have a wind advisory that goes
into effect at 8:00 o'clock tonight
through 10:00 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Wind gusts 40 to 45 plus,
we'll say up to 50 mph.
For all of North Texas,
again that's why the entire area is under
that wind advisory starting at 8:00 PM.
So here's a look at the the forecast wind
gust this evening 20 to 25 for the most
part that's outside the thunderstorms.
If you obviously if you get a
severe thunderstorm in your area
you may have gusts 60 to 70.
That's why it's severe.
But then we get behind the front
overnight winds are going to be gusting
40 to 45 at times up to 50 mph not only
through Daybreak but into the mid morning.
It should subside pretty quickly once
we get into the early afternoon.
So things do get better for
the second-half of Friday.
It'll be a cooler day.
Looks pretty nice. 63 degrees.
Then for the weekend, we warm up.
Winds not that bad out of the S 10 to
15 on Saturday, 15 to 25 on Sunday,
Mid 70s Saturday and Sunday.
Pretty nice weekend ahead, so tonight.
Gotta get through it.
It's going to be a very windy
and cooler night.
After the storms passed,
the severe threat ends.
We had northwest winds tonight
30 to 45 gusts up to 50.
Tomorrow 63.
Mostly sunny, windy, dry and cooler.
There's the wind again out
of the northwest tomorrow,
20 to 40 mph gust will get a lot
better for the second-half of the day.
There's the next 10 days.
Monday we're all the way up to 81 degrees.
And you look at the end of the
10 day forecast it's unsettled.
We'll call it right now,
the severe threat on the lower side.
Not expecting that maybe Tuesday, Wednesday.
But then once we cool off you
see the winds out of the north.
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
We're going to have a cooler flow of air.
Not expecting severe weather
just some spotty showers and.
Highs in the mid 50s,
lows in the upper 30s.
Just a reminder still you know,
it's only early March,
so that's not terribly out of the question
of course to see weather like that.
