Download the WFAA app it's it's a free
app and and you need to have something
to give yourself a warnings or alerts
overnight tonight you know I mean it's
3:00 o'clock in the morning we're going
to have thunderstorms you know just east
of Dallas at 4:00 o'clock in the morning,
just east of there at 5:00 in the morning.
I mean you know people are in bed asleep.
You know, all heck starts breaking loose.
And you need you need some
type of a warning in advance.
So you go to your safe place.
So that WFA app is fantastic.
Once again. It's free.
It's personalized alerts and you
can customize it and all of tha.
And and then you have a plan.
When you wake up in the middle f
the night and all heck's breakig
loose or about ready to break l,
you need to know where you go he
that safe room in your house. You know.
And practice it. For us it's a closet.
Which means the vacuum cleaners
and all that stuff has to come .
You know.
And and then you just get it ready and
you go in there for a few minutes and.
You can then you can watch these
newscasts live on that app.
So just take your phone with yod
you're saying the threat is morE
than the West part of North tow.
I don't know that I I don't have
any rain West of Fort Worth,
let alone any storms,
but it's Dallas Fort Worth,
the Metroplex and then locations
just east of the Metroplex and
then all locations east of ther.
So I'm going to walk you througe
timing and also the locations outside.
It's cloudy in Dallas, it's 82.
It feels like it's going to sto,
doesn't it? We hit 82 today.
The morning low was 72.
The morning low was almost the daytime high.
The normal daytime high 74 outside right
now we do have oak, hackberry, Maple.
All three of those are high
and fungus today is low.
Right now the temp is 82 with
a breezy S wind at 17.
There's our severe weather threat overnight.
Really high Northeast Texas and
then northeast of those locatio.
And boy, I tell you what,
another outbreak from parts of Illinois,
Iowa, parts of Missouri, Southern Missouri,
down into a big chunk of Arkansas again.
Same areas that were pummeled
just a few days ago. More.
I mean some violent tornadoes in those
locations as we head through tonight.
Not much happening for us.
Just the clouds.
Maybe a thunderstorm at 8:00
o'clock and boom, that's gone.
Here comes the thunderstorms.
There's the cold front.
That's midnight.
Watch this.
Two in the morning,
so two to three is when things just begin,
okay.
And then it's from three until ,
that's when we have these
this line of thunderstorms.
It could produce quarter to
golf ball size hail.
It certainly could produce
60 to 70 mile per hour
winds and without a doubt in this little
line we could have an embedded brief.
EF0EF1 tornado. That's what we a
couple of weeks ago in Wise Cou.
The winds were right
around 100 miles an hour.
That's possible at 5:00 in the morning.
You can see by 5 the Dallas.
The Metroplex is clear.
Terrell walks a hatchie to Corsicana,
Greenville, Sulphur Springs.
It's still problematic.
And then everything's moving E at six,
there's seven, and there we go.
So the most likely area for
severe storms overnight tonight,
again 2:00 o'clock in the morning until
seven it's possible in the Metroplex.
It's more likely for these
areas off to the northeast,
Paris, Sulphur Springs,
Mineola and then northeast
to there once again,
it's the hail that's my number one concern,
the number two concern.
To 60 to 70 mile an hour winds.
And also there's still
that threat of tornadoes.
It's not a violent tornado
outbreak overnight,
but you have a brief EF0EF1 and
you're looking at 100 maybe 110e
per hour winds and that's a pro.
No matter where you live.
There's the cold front at 7.
There it goes.
Skies are clearing out by mid morning,
certainly late morning.
We have sunshine in the Metroplt
noon and then we cloud right bap
around 5:00 o'clock tomorrow ni.
So. How much rain will we pick ?
I have rain in my forecast
not only overnight tonight,
early tomorrow morning,
a little bit on Thursday,
a little bit more on Friday,
maybe a sprinkle or two on Satu,
half an inch, maybe 3/4 of an i.
That's what's in the forecast
through Easter weekend.
Where that front that moves thrh
late tonight, early tomorrow morning,
where it stalls Southeast Texas,
the upper Texas coast,
that's where the heaviest
of the rainfall will be.
There's your two to.
7 inches of rain in these locat.
Look at this Jasper's 7.6.
So the frontal boundary. Last w,
it looked like it was going to stall up here,
bring a lot of rain into North Texas.
It shifted farther South and
right where that boundary is.
That's the focal point for the .
That's where the heaviest of the
heavy will fall temperatures.
The next few days we cool
down after that cold front.
And I have some decent temperatures in the
forecast right through Easter weekend.
Tonight, half of us see rain.
That means half of us won't.
Right,
58.
That's the low tonight and it'sn
overnight severe weather threatd
early morning rain will end bre,
much cooler with sunshine coming out.
We hit 70 tomorrow,
a little bit of rain on Thursda,
40% of us see rain on Friday.
There's no severe weather on Good Friday,
just some showers.
You don't have severe weather,
Joe.
As you pointed out earlier,
when the temperature is 61 degr,
maybe a spotty shower Saturday
70 than Easter Sunday.
78 and right now Easter Sunday is dry.
So there you go.
We'll be here overnight keeping
an eye on things that Daybreak.
The news program begins at 4:00 AM tomorrow.
So Greg Fields and Mario Ruiz will be here
and they'll have everybody updated as well.
And and you know, here's what yu
need to do tonight on news eight
10 I I get more information andI
have new data coming in every h.
Watch the news tonight at 10:00
o'clock because I'll have the lt
information before you go to be.
I want you to have that before you go
to bed so you know how to prepa.
And it always people that
take this too lightly.
We've had a bad severe weather season
this this season across the United States,
and bad things have happened
to a lot of people.
We don't want that to happen here tonight.
