A lot going on weather wise out
there for us they we are talking
about some severe weather today.
This could be one of those days definitely
has some serious weather to deal with
heading into the afternoons and make
sure you have a way to get the watches
and warnings that we will likely see
a little bit till later today and
have that plan in place to stay safe
with these storms as they get going.
Heading into the afternoon now
taking you out this morning things
quiet out there for you right now.
The UNT campus in Denton looking at 58
degrees as what we have out there right now.
But let's look at the severe
weather outlook for today all of
North Texas under some sort of.
Severe weather risk for today and you see
that the moderate risk level 4 in our areas,
our Eastern counties,
this is where the tornado threat will be
greatest as that Lina moves on through.
But that enhanced risk back across
the Metroplex out toward Mineral
Wells and you see that to slight to
marginal risk a little farther West.
So we are talking about hail
maybe up to golf balls,
size of damaging winds,
70 mph and yes a few tornadoes,
a couple of which could be strong as well.
So we'll be keeping an eye on those
as they get going out ahead of that
main line a little bit later today,
now the storm concerns.
As we go through the day,
the damaging winds will be the highest
risk along with that large hail,
a few tornadoes and as I just
mentioned that tornado threat
will be highest east of Dallas.
But again around the Metroplex
doesn't mean we won't or can't see
one or two around our area as well.
So there will be a few tornadoes,
isolated flash flooding with some of
the heavier rain that we'll deal with
as we go through the day as well.
Alright, here's what it looks like,
satellite radar composite.
There's the storm system well out
across the New Mexico moving across
the Arizona right now and that
will be driving everything along
as we head into this afternoon.
The evening that will be moving on into West,
TX.
And for us as we head into the afternoon,
we'll start to see those showers
and thunderstorms developing
initially in our Western counties.
Now this morning we do have some
ongoing showers East and South of
the Metroplex and there may be some
much stronger storms from time to
time in our Southeastern counties,
but the severe weather threat
remains very low.
Don't really anticipate that as we
go through the morning hours today,
it's going to be the afternoon when
those storms fire up initially again
out to our W we'll see some isolated
cells out ahead of the main line.
Still pretty quiet I think
around midday today.
Notice as we get into the afternoon,
we'll start to see those
storms firing up the South
and West of the Metroplex,
perhaps out toward Granbury and Stephenville.
This is gonna be out ahead
of the main line that we see.
So we'll be keeping an eye on these storms
as well as they fire up and work their
way into the Metroplex around 3:00 PM.
So again that's when we will see
still some isolated to scattered
storms around but these will have
that potential to be severe as well.
The main line still getting organized
out to where W as we head into the mid
late afternoon hours out toward Graham,
Breckenridge, Eastland moving toward
Mineral Wells as we head toward.
Four or five o'clock that begins
to approach the Metroplex in time
for the afternoon commute.
So again, have that plan in place,
maybe getting the kids early from school,
leaving a work a little bit to
earlier or staying late as that
the line moves on through.
We don't want folks out on the roads
during this time as this line marches
across North Texas that's around 7:00 PM.
And then as we head toward 8-9 o'clock
that begins to move on out of the area.
And then we'll have some very
strong gusty winds behind that
front as it works its way through,
as the line of storms moves on out.
So they will be gusting up to
around 50 mph behind the front.
These won't be associated
with the thunderstorms.
Those will be off to our East,
but behind that line of storms we will
have some strong winds to deal with as we
head into the evening and overnight hours.
And if you wrap around showers and swarms,
I think as we head toward
the overnight hours,
but then by sunrise tomorrow
and for the morning rush,
things will be clearing out and.
We'll see some cooler temperatures moving in,
but we will have a much calmer day on Friday.
Now those winds again,
they will be gusty as we
head into the evening,
overnight again getting up to around 50 mph
or so as we head toward tomorrow morning.
So we'll have those gusty winds.
Cooler air does move in behind
the front again,
there's a look at that timing with
the showers and thunderstorms 4:00
to 8:00 PM around the Metroplex.
And then as we head toward midnight,
all that begins to move out.
So here's what it looks like
with that 10 day forecast,
upper 70s with the temperatures today,
much cooler tomorrow.
We'll have some low mid 40s
around for tomorrow morning.
Over 60s during the day,
but those gusty northwest winds at 20 to 25.
We do warm up over the weekend,
getting back into the mid and
upper 70s on Sunday and then
rain and thunderstorm chances do
return as we head into next week.
