All eyes on Thursday, Jess.
It could be bad in spots.
Maybe you miss out on most of that too.
Yeah. That's the thing with
severe weather threats.
I think some people will say, well,
I didn't get it didn't happen.
But you know, we,
it's kind of a broad area in North Texas.
You have the risk or the
potential for severe weather.
Doesn't mean you're going to see
it, but it's possible.
So yeah, it was somewhere today and
they were trying to figure out what
they were going to do with their car
because they only have the one car,
garage or whatever.
And they were, you know,
buying some things to be able to put
on top of it to keep it from being.
You know, too damaged.
It's gotta be something sturdy though,
because you know it's gonna blow around too.
Yeah. Never mind. We
we have some creative.
There are some creative.
I've seen that come up every time.
I've seen it every every year.
I see it too. Whatever it
takes to protect it, I get it.
You'll want to do it.
So here's the deal.
Tomorrow at Level 3 enhanced for the
Metroplex or at least most of it.
But if you go to the east of Dallas
you have a Level 4 moderate risk.
Remember this is on a one to five you
know moderate risks I would say they're
certainly you know fives are are very rare.
You don't see fives often.
You see four is here and there.
Certainly in this part of the country,
but they're certainly not common.
So you know, I'd say fives are very rare,
four is pretty uncommon,
and the twos and threes are pretty common,
especially this time of the
year here in North Texas.
So this is the the area with the highest
risk for severe weather tomorrow,
especially where the tornado
threat is a little more enhanced,
but up to golf ball size,
hail possibly larger here or there and
some damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph.
High today was 71.
Low this morning, 64,
which is the normal high.
So it's pretty warm today and
temps now are still in the
mid 60s. It's 66 out of DFW
winds out of the north right now.
They'll change to the South overnight.
So we have no rain in
the Metroplex right now.
We go to the to the West.
Here's the spin in the atmosphere.
This is our next storm system.
There it is. That low is going to track
through the desert southwest tonight.
It'll be in our area tomorrow.
And that's when our chance of thunderstorms
and severe weather really starts to pop up.
So tonight's quiet.
You don't have to worry about
severe weather tonight.
Tomorrow morning, scattered rain,
maybe a couple of thunderstorms.
But this is not expected to be severe.
Watch what happens though,
as we get into the afternoon.
Here's 12:00 PM still this is.
Unlikely to be anything severe,
just some scattered showers and
storms we build the instability.
The upper level,
low and cold front start to get closer,
so the atmosphere really
starts to become unstable.
A lot of shear in place,
so thunderstorms that pop up in the
afternoon right here, right here.
These could be severe with
that damaging wind threat.
Large hail and possibly a tornado or two
before we see these become more linear.
They'll become more linear as
the cold front starts to March,
so you see how they're starting
to line up a little bit.
You know,
these thunderstorms here I would
have the highest concern with
for perhaps a tornado that could
be a little bit longer lived.
Any tornadoes that form within these
lines of thunderstorms are typically
pretty quick in and out type of situations.
They develop,
then they fizzle out.
They could be F0Z F ones,
but either way we'll keep an eye
for that damaging wind threat.
There's that line of thunderstorms
at 6:00 PM from Denton County down
through Tarrant and Johnson counties.
There are 7:00 PM bottom Dallas
all the way down through Hillsboro.
So still you have that enhanced
damaging wind threat and possibly
some tornado potential too.
East of the Metroplex, Thursday evening,
there's 9:00 PM, There's Canton,
there's Paris and Clarksville
behind the front.
Once the cold front passes,
the severe threat diminishes.
Unfortunately,
we're not done with active weather,
if you will,
because by the time we get to,
let's say, 11:00 PM and certainly
overnight Thursday into Friday,
we're looking at wind gusts up to 50 mph and
that's outside of the thunderstorm chance.
And then on the backside,
maybe a little bit of rain too.
Before we get to Friday morning and
things really start to clear out.
So Friday night,
actually Thursday night,
early Friday morning,
very windy look at the wind gusts.
50 mph overnight,
early Friday morning as we get on
the backside of that storm system.
So again, there's the risk level 4,
moderate East Texas,
eastern portions of the Metroplex.
There's Rockwall,
Hunt County,
Kauffman included in this Level 3 for
the rest of the Dallas Fort Worth area.
All all hazards on the table,
so of course we're gonna keep you updated.
Very active day tomorrow,
just stay weather aware.
Tonight 60 degrees light
winds cloudy and muggy.
Tomorrow widespread rain and storms.
Some expected to be severe 77.
There's the next 10.
At least it's quiet for the weekend.
Cooler on Friday 63,
but we're in the low to mid
70s Saturday and Sunday.
Back to 80 on Monday and
pretty unsettled after that
Jason with at least some daily
chances for showers and storms.
