OK. Mario, with us right now,
because we got a lot to talk
about as far as the weather.
I brought my umbrella today.
I remember repaired your weather aware.
Look at me. You.
You've been paying attention.
I did. I did.
It was your midday forecast yesterday.
That did it for me.
That's what it did. Yeah.
So what, this morning,
you might want to grab that umbrella.
We'll see some scattered showers early on,
but the thunderstorms also
hold off until the afternoon.
Either way, you want to be prepared for this.
We do have an enhanced risk
for severe weather.
That's a Level 3 out of five.
Now, when I say that, I'm talking about the.
The amount of storms that could turn severe.
So when we're talking about an enhanced risk,
we're talking numerous storms,
a slight risk.
That yellow that you see just South of us,
that is where we would see
some scattered severe storms.
That means not everyone
sees the severe weather,
but there's a good chance that most of
us see at least a thunderstorm or two.
So with the biggest threat today,
it'll be the potential for large hail
with the strongest storms that could
be up to tennis ball sized hail.
It is springtime in Texas damaging.
It's also up to about 60 mph,
and I'm not ruling out the potential for
an isolated tornado this afternoon as well,
although that threat is low.
Here's a look at the timing.
Most of us see the cloud cover all morning,
and then we're looking at
some scattered showers,
really expanding and coverage,
especially east of I-35.
Around 9:10 in the morning,
we'll notice some scattered rain.
We couldn't even see an isolated
thunderstorm popping up.
I'm not expecting storms this morning,
though, to be severe.
We'll see some general clearing far
West of the Metroplex around noon.
Now around 2:00 and 3:00 in the afternoon,
that's when we see these thunderstorms
really start to pop up and get pushed
into the I-35 corridor counties.
This is for on Thursday, Gainesville,
Fort Worth to Cleburne there,
just to the West of I-35.
That's where we'll notice as some
thunderstorms really start to take shape.
We'll start to see them increase in
severity though around 5:00 or 6:00
this evening as they push into this
area north of I-20, east of I-35,
we're going to see these thunderstorms.
Be capable of producing hail.
That's the main concern,
but also some strong winds.
This is now showing you six in the evening.
We still see that strong thunderstorm threat,
Paris, Sulphur Springs,
Terrell,
even portions of Dallas County down I-35.
That front eventually kind of takes
over and pushes these storms to
the South and east. This is now 7.
This is now 8.
We could see some additional storm
development along this front if
there's enough moisture left.
This is around 9:00.
You still see that long line
of showers and storms.
This is now where we see.
More of a strong wind threat right along
the leading edge of that line as it
continues to push to the South and east.
This is now 10 and that's now closer to 11.
We're going to see that threat for severe
weather be completely done for North Texas.
We'll still notice the cloud cover and it's
going to be windy and quite a bit cooler.
Anywhere between 1/10 to 1/4 of an
inch of rain will be possible for us,
but areas east of the Metroplex likely
getting closer to half of an inch,
and that's because of the rain that
you see earlier in the day. So again,
that front is going to come through tonight.
It cools us down significantly high of
77 today, but we'll be in the 50s Friday,
Saturday and Sunday going into
early parts of next week.
For this morning though,
this is what it looks like.
It is cloudy out there.
We're seeing just a lingering
shower mainly South of Granbury.
I'm seeing a shower now over Glen
Rose moving into Cleburne there,
but otherwise we're looking pretty dry.
We'll see that rain expanding coverage
throughout the morning winds right now
gusting out of the South up to about 30 mph.
That's what we're noticing in McKinney.
Temperatures are in the low
60s to kick off the day,
but we will see that temperature
climb or winds.
We're also going to see them climb as well,
gusting up to 40 mph for this afternoon and
that's not with thunderstorm related storms.
That's all ahead of that
system that's coming in.
So again some strong to severe
storms this afternoon.
It's going to be windy,
it's going to be muggy out.
It's going to absolutely feel like a
spring day and then just like that we
see a big cool down tomorrow morning,
a low of.
39 degrees, we'll see mid 30s Saturday
and Sunday morning,
so definitely plan ahead too.
You may have to cover some tender
vegetation otherwise highs in the 50s.
We just got to be weather
aware this afternoon.
