Let's get into it.
We've got a lot going on tonight.
So the first thing is we have a low
risk of severe weather this evening.
The Dallas Fort Worth area included in a
Level 1 marginal risk on the one to five,
as you might imagine,
it's the lowest you can get.
Level 2 slight risk up toward buoy
and northwestern Cook County and then
West of that along the Red River.
That's a slightly better chance to see
those 60 to 70 mile per hour wind gusts
and maybe some quarter sized hail too,
by far the most intense portion of this
storm system and intense thunderstorms.
Will be in the far Eastern Panhandle
of Texas and into Oklahoma.
And that's where these thunderstorms are
already starting to blow up tonight.
And there they are.
We have,
we have lots of severe thunderstorm
warnings and now we have where we did,
some of them have been cancelled.
Now we have this tornado warning
here east of Amarillo,
so this batch of thunderstorms
will actually pick up an intensity
as it moves off to the east.
For us,
we'll see an extension southward of that
line that won't be quite as intense,
but it will develop later tonight.
And here's when they're expected to
arrive between 8:00 PM and 11:00 PM.
And the purple shaded area from
Bowie down through,
let's say Brownwood and areas
to the West for the Dallas Fort
Worth area between 11:00 PM and
1:00 o'clock in the morning.
So you know, this area would say 11.
This would be one.
So part of the Metroplex around midnight.
That's when we expect it.
And then beyond that.
And here's the thing though.
The blue shaded area you don't have
a risk of severe weather tonight,
1:00 AM to 4:00 AM for a very thin line of
showers and a couple of rumbles of Thunder.
Outside of that chance of thunderstorms,
which will show you more on
the timeline in a second,
it's going to be really windy
and winds are already picking up.
Winds now at Fort Worth gusting to 39 mph,
temperature 76.
Dallas 77 with a gust of 35.
High today 78.
Errors in the 40s the last couple of days.
So it was nice and warm today.
47 was the low this morning.
Right now it's 78 degrees and there
are the gusts that are starting to
pick up and it'll get worse too later
this evening and certainly overnight.
We have wind,
a wind advisory in effect
for all of North Texas.
We'll see gusts 40 to 50 plus
mph through between now and
2:00 o'clock in the morning.
And again that's outside
of the thunderstorm risk.
So even if you don't get
severe thunderstorms,
you're going to get a lot of wind
ahead of this cold front that
moves in and let's time it out.
So we have some sunshine right now.
We have kind of clearing
skies ahead of that cold
front. There it is at
8:00 o'clock this evening.
So watch what happens, see that
extension of thunderstorms that builds.
So there your thunderstorm chances from
Albany to Wichita Falls at 9:00 PM.
There it starts to move closer to Graham
and Breckenridge by 10:00 o'clock.
Metroplex is still quiet at this time.
So at 11 you see how it's kind
of weakened a little bit.
And that's the expectation with this
line of storms is the farther E it moves,
the more it weakens.
So at 11:00 o'clock still there
could be some damaging wind gusts.
That's not out of the question.
I mean, think about it.
If you've got wind gusts outside
of the storms, 50 mph,
all you need for a severe thunderstorm
warning is 60 mile per hour gusts.
You're almost there anyway.
So there's 11:00 PM here's
midnight moving into the Metroplex.
There's Fort Worth and Denton
seeing the thunderstorms.
There's Collin County and Dallas County.
Midnight to 1:00 o'clock in the morning
and then it's east of the Metroplex by then.
And look, this is all that's left
by 2:00 o'clock in the morning.
It's barely anything,
maybe a little bit of rain east
of the Metroplex.
Otherwise,
skies clear out and we're quiet
for the late overnight and
certainly through tomorrow morning.
It's going to be warm too.
Temperatures climb into the
mid 70s tomorrow with lots of.
Sunshine so.
If you missed the sun today,
it's coming back tomorrow.
Tonight, though, that quick line
of storms moves in 50 degrees.
It's a very windy night with winds again
gusting to 50 tomorrow, 73, warm and breezy.
The sunshine returns.
There's the next 10 days and also we have
another risk of severe weather on Thursday.
Right now, the Metroplex in areas E already
under a Level 2 slight risk for Thursday,
so that's something we'll keep in mind.
It seems like we're getting kind
of an early start, early ish,
I would say, but you know,
March begins Wednesday,
but we've had.
These severe risks in February
and it looks like March 2nd
we'll have another one.
