In Dallas, we do have some sunshine,
and that's not a good thing.
With the sun that's peeking
out across the area,
it's really helping to destabilize
an already very unstable atmosphere.
77 here, 78 in Fort Worth.
I don't have any rain except here,
a little spotty shower that hasn't been
able to do much over here around Garland.
There's one down by Lancaster and Ferris,
and then there's another thunderstorm
that's up here just to the east and
southeast of Gainesville between
Collinsville and Valley View. Right now.
I have a live camera right now,
one of our crews.
Was out near Valley View on I-35.
And as you take a look at this that
the camera is pointing to the east,
off to the right,
northbound on 35 right now near Valley View.
And you could see the thunderstorm
that I showed you just a moment
ago there on the radar.
So I'll show you that again in just a second.
But I I've had a report that there
are some Interstate 35 is closed
temporarily in Gainesville for
a light pole down in roadway.
There's a couple of accidents there.
Traffic has moved to service roads.
I don't know if the poll came
down and caused the accidents.
I I don't know the details on that.
And I also don't know if the poll
came down because of a thunderstorm
that rolled through there or not,
or if the accident knocked the pole down.
I just know that right now 35 is closed
down temporarily in Gainesville.
We'll get some more information
for you on that.
So you're looking off to the
east right now in Valley View.
If you come back here into the studio,
here's a there's Valley View.
That's a thunderstorm that you're looking
at that's producing some quarter,
maybe up to golf ball size.
Well,
that'll arrive in Collinsville momentarily.
The core of it will.
It's storming in Collinsville right now,
but this is a hail core that'll arrive there.
It's 332.
So any moment now, Sadler 345,
Hilton at 358, Sherman at 4:00,
O'clock Dennison at 4:11.
That's all the activity that we have.
Other than this little thundershower,
it's not even close to severe.
We'll watch that for some rapid
intensification in southeastern
Dallas County.
A little bit of rain,
a few thunderstorms from Quitman down
to Athens, just north of Palestine.
And then.
Off to the West,
that is our main round of thunderstorms.
That's the one that'll roll through
over the next several hours.
Hasn't made it to Breckenridge,
hasn't made it to Olney yet,
but it has just moved through
the Abilene area.
Still some thunderstorms in Abilene,
but it's several hours away.
When will it arrive in Jacksboro five O 7?
It'll arrive in Weatherford
at 547 in Fort Worth.
This line of storms,
there's two opportunities for storms today,
the random,
isolated stuff that's popping
up right now across.
In the heart of North Texas,
and this is the second opportunity of storms.
That's the one that'll roll into
Fort Worth at 628, Denton at 639,
DFW at seven o'clock 651,
McKinney at 723, Garland at 7:26.
So the arrival time in in Dallas
is probably about 7:00 to 7:15.
So Fort Worth is about 6:30,
Dallas about 7:15 or so.
So give or take a few minutes obviously,
but that's the arrival time with
our that's the main line of storms,
but additional.
Activity is trying to pop up right
now in a very unstable air mass
across the Dallas Fort Worth area.
There's the activity at 5:00 o'clock.
There's our main line of storms at 5.
There it is at 6 at 7:00 o'clock.
Here we go.
There it is arriving Fort Worth about
6:30 maybe as late as seven Dallas
about 7:30 to 8:00 o'clock or so.
And then it's just oriented you know,
north to South across the area and
then it's up E the cold front is east
of Dallas at 9:00 PM and once that
cold front moves through your area
your severe weather threat will end.
The rain won't end.
The the strong winds won't end,
but the potential for tornadoes and
large hail that will certainly come
to an end once the front has passed.
It's a near.
Canton at 10:00 o'clock the cold fronts
in Tyler at 11:00 o'clock winds will
gust as we head through the latter
part of the evening and through the
overnight and we want you to stay alert.
Stay weather aware this
afternoon and this evening.
We do have the tornado
watch in effect until 10.

up along the Red River just
to the east of Gainesville,
and all the other activity
is out around Abilene.
We'll watch for isolated thunderstorms
to develop over the next several
hours and that big line of storms
to move through between about 5-8,
maybe 9:00 o'clock tonight.
I'll be back in a few minutes.
