Alright. Past couple of minutes here
we've been talking about our parking
arrangements here in the studio.
It's one of those things you have to think
about on a day like this, Pete. Yeah.
And and I can't tell you how many people
have had asked me today about their cars.
I'm like you know find some covered area.
Yeah. You know because this is one of those
days we're going to have some big hail.
Look, I mean we've already had
hail upon parts of Cook County,
parts of a Grayson County have already
seen you know, golf ball size hail.
And
that's just from kind of round Number
one that we're kind of still in the
middle of right now when round two
moves in in the next several hours you
know for for Dallas and Fort Worth.
Arrival time in Fort Worth is Sixish,
and talking specifically downtown Fort Worth,
it's about 6:00 o'clock or so,
give or take a few minutes.
Downtown Dallas 645, something like that.
The the forward speed of these
storms is about 40 to 50 mph.
So let me show you what's
happening out there right now.
So that's the timing in Dallas,
cities of Fort Worth and cities
of Dallas right now in Denton.
It's 80 Windsor gusting up to 83.
Can see a little bit of Virgo here,
a little bit of a rainfall.
I have some rain that's hitting
the ground that we have some rain
that's not reaching the ground.
So that's in Denton where it's 80.
At Dallas,
Baptist winds are gusting up to 30.
It's 80 degrees.
We have some filtered sunshine.
Again, that sunshine is not a good thing.
That's helping to destabilize
an already unstable atmosphere.
Tornado watch all of the entire Metroplex,
all of North Texas until 10:00
o'clock tonight.
Those areas that aren't under the tornado
watch from Bowie to Wichita Falls Archer.
Billy Graham,
you're under a severe thunderstorm.
Watch until 7:00 o'clock tonight.
Now there's Breckenridge.
Breckenridge.
You're under a tornado watch until 10.
That's Stevens county.
I have a tornado warning in effect
right now for you and Stevens County.
Specifically, the city of Breckenridge.
Now just to the east of
the city of Breckenridge.
That is until 4:30.
Here we go.
Right now.
We don't have anything
happening here in the Metroplex.
We're all quiet.
Here's a thunderstorm that's getting ready
to cross the Red River here momentarily.
Grayson County you still technically have.
A thunderstorm warning in effect until.
So here's Grayson County,
here's Fannin County.
But Grayson, you still have a sphere.
Thunderstorm warning in effect till 4:30.
But for the most part,
the thunderstorm has crossed the Red River.
There's that's this is all
opportunity number one,
round one, we'll call it.
Round two is out here.
That's the activity that's moving through
western sections of North Texas right now.
There's Breckenridge.
There's Stevens county.
That's our tornado warning until 4:30.
And as I look at the radar right now,
the tornado threat has decreased here,
at least at least temporarily in Stevens.
County with that line this this
cell that's moving into Eastland
County right now but it it near
Cisco but it does have a little
bit of rotation and there may
be a new thunderstorm to watch
here as this continues to cross
the county line and move out of
Stevens into areas off to the east.
So so we'll watch that and keep
keep you updated on that but the
the timing and the the the track on
this puts it in Caddo at 4:15 well
that's that's dated but it does move
into Brad at 426 grayford at 4.
42 and think that's Oren.
All my years here in my time out in
western sections of North Texas,
I don't know that I've come
across that town there.
So 447 in order and I'll call it and
you can tweet me and correct me if
you'd like and I would appreciate that.
Just that one correction,
none of the others that have
been coming this afternoon.
So here we are.
The atmosphere has had a cap
on it that's prevented a lot
of activity from developing.
But the CAP has gone away right now.
And so we have a real unstable atmosphere,
but we don't have a spark.
We don't have a trigger to ignite
those thunderstorms we do out here.
We have up here,
but we're relatively quiet
across the Metroplex.
And that was the forecast I gave
you last night at 10:00 o'clock,
but that's the main action back to the West.
So here's the timing.
There's five o'clock, here's 6:00 o'clock.
I do believe we'll have the leading
edge in downtown Fort Worth,
about 6:00 o'clock and then the
forward speed 40 to 50 miles an hour.
That's pretty close to the leading edge,
pretty close to downtown.
Dallas 645 seven certainly
downtown Dallas and Dallas County,
Collin County all the way up and down,
North and South across up
North Texas at 8:00 o'clock.
That's our line of storms E
to Dallas at 9:00 o'clock.
10:00 o'clock,
it's around Canton and Athens,
Palestine and Jacksonville.
And then 11:00 o'clock,
I'll step out of the way here.
You can see it's in Tyler.
That's where the cold front is.
The severe weather threat will
end behind that cold front,
and that's when the winds will
really pick up.
Meteorologist Jesse Hawla is here
with me in the weather center as well.
And Jesse,
let's talk about,
I just gave everyone the timing and the
threats with the main line of thunderstorms.
But what happens behind that
line of thunderstorms is it's
going to be pretty windy,
isn't
it? Yeah, there's a good chance
a lot of people are going to
see their strongest winds.
Behind the main line of storms.
So some of you may not see the severe gust,
but behind it, a lot of people in
North Texas are gonna see wind gusts
from 40 to 45, maybe up to 50 mph.
So behind that line,
the wind advisory goes into effect for
all of North Texas starting at 8:00 PM.
It'll last through tomorrow morning at 10,
and that's when we'll have
those wind gusts up to 50.
So you'll see how they pick up dramatically.
This is for DFW.
So the front moves through
somewhere in this time frame,
we're going to have wind gust outside of
thunderstorms anywhere from let's say.
20 to 30 mph behind the front.
We'll have gusts overnight,
43 at 3:00 o'clock in the morning,
50 at 5:00 AM and 7:00 o'clock in the morning
of 40 mile per hour wind gusts expected.
So it's going to get even.
Outside of the thunderstorms.
It's going to be very windy.
So even when the storms pass,
you still have to contend with that stuff.
And then we get through the next few
days and the weather looks spectacular.
So let's get through this evening
and get through the rest of
these thunderstorm chances.
There's a lot of nice weather on
the way for the weekend again.
Friday though, is going to be windy.
Saturday and Sunday we'll call Breezy.
Not too bad. Temperatures nice mid 70s.
Good amount of sunshine too.
So just gotta get through the next 6 ish
hours and things will get a lot better.
So tonight, very windy.
Cooler too. Behind the cold front.
Those severe thunderstorms end later tonight,
44 degrees, northwest winds 30 to 45,
tomorrow 63.
So it'll be a dry and cooler day and
you know, certainly not as muggy.
We have northwest winds tomorrow,
20 to 40 mph.
So there's your windy factor into that.
There's the next 10 days.
Little unsettled.
After the early part of the week,
we'll go to 81 on Monday.
We'll have daily chances for
showers and storms following the the
early part of the week right now
doesn't look like anything severe.
We'll keep an eye on it,
but certainly by the time we get to Thursday,
Friday and Saturday,
I mean with highs in the mid and upper 50s,
not looking at a severe threat there,
but it does get a lot cooler.
We'll be right back after the break.
