Meteorologist Mario Ruiz
joining me here at the desk.
And Mario, we've been talking about that
potential for severe weather later on,
but we are starting to see not
that just yet but we're starting
to see a raindrops around
our area absolutely.
And it's the scattered rain thae
were talking about all morning t
we're expecting along and east of I-35.
But where we're going to see the severe
weather threat will be mid to late afternoon.
So it's not here just yet, although you
may be seeing rain out there right now.
There are no active watches or warnings
in place, but I want to show yo.
Again, this is our enhanced
risk for severe weather.
It does include a majority of North Texas,
including the Dallas Fort Worth area.
It's a Level 3 out of five for e
likelihood of strong to severe storms.
Numerous severe storms are
expected within this area.
That does not mean that everyone
will see a severe storm,
though I do want to emphasize that the
main threat today is going to be
potential for large hail up to tennis,
ball size hail that will not be widespread.
That's going to be a very isolated threat,
damaging winds up to 60 mph.
As well, and I'm not ruling oute
potential for an isolated torna,
although that is a very low,
low end threat.
We're looking at the Metroplex
right now and we can see just
a little bit of shower activity
moving through over the last ho.
A bulk of the activity has now pushed east
of the Metroplex and this again non severe,
a few thunderstorms here extending from
commerce to Sulphur Springs and into Canton.
I'm going to show you this.
We have this storm trek on here.
These storms are moving pretty k
to the north and east at about 60 mph.
I'm expecting it close to Daphnt
11:55 and around Mount Pleasant close
to noon and this will just be aw
pockets of heavy rain and some lightning.
Another quick burst of heavy
rain right now in Navarro Count.
Corsicana currents also seeing some of
that moving towards gun Barrel ,
but again this is just some moderate to
heavy rainfall as well as some lightning.
This is moving quickly to the Nh
and east at about 60 mph and wee
telling you about this areas eat
of I-35 experiencing this rain.
Throughout the morning into the
early afternoon,
this is not the severe weather threat.
The severe weather threat is gog
to start over here closer towars
our Northwestern counties and ts
is all as a dry line moves in.
So again,
this activity stays consistent through
about 1-2 in the afternoon and
then around that time we'll note
a few thunderstorms popping up.
These isolated storms are goingo
pop up first along this dry lind
this is where we have the potenl
to see a pocket or two of hail.
This hail threat will continue.
As these storms progress towards the East,
this is that dry line helping push these
storms closer towards the Metro.
This is showing you Thursday by the way,
around 4:00 in the afternoon,
these storms will continue to me
towards the east. This is now 5.
And notice how these storms
are still very isolated.
That's still giving us that hail threat,
not indicating that everyone
will see the hail again.
These will be very isolated.
This is now showing you 6 in the afternoon.
This front is going to move into
an area that will still have que
a bit of moisture and instabili.
This is why we'll see thundersts
take shape along the front.
This is now showing you 7 and these storms
will become better developed in a line.
And this is where we then transn
to a strong wind threat along te
leading edge of this line as ths
pushes towards the South and ea.
This is now 9.
You see this cold front pushing to the
South and E again, this is now .
And by this point,
we're looking at the severe wear
threat being done for most of Nh
Texas and it shifts towards cenl
and Southeast Texas towards midnight.
Denton right now 65 degrees.
Look at how cloudy it is.
This will be the really how
it will look most of the day.
28 mile power wind gusts at the moment.
Right now about 63 degrees at DFW Airport.
It's breezy out there it stays pretty breezy.
I'd even call it windy in some instances
with wind gusts up to about 40 .
Projected today,
the temperature makes it to about 77 degrees.
We will see that potential for severe
storms mid to late afternoon most of the day.
We're going to just to notice
that cloud cover.
So I showed you that cold front.
Pushing through it enhanced that
thunderstorm potential.
After that front pushes through,
we then fall into a wind adviso.
This will be for wind gusts up to 45 mph.
It goes into place from 5 this afternoon
through 10 tomorrow morning and that cold,
cold air will then sink in.
It'll be cold comparative to
what we're feeling today.
39 for the morning, low Friday.
I really hope you didn't put
those jackets away.
You're going to need them the
next several mornings afternoon.
Eyes only in the 50s tashara.
I got my fur ready, so I ain't
mad at. Thank you Maria.
