Grapevine's Main Street Festiva,
which opened today.
We saw heavy rain and even some
hail this afternoon. The good n?
You've got the rest of tonight,
tomorrow and Sunday to have a great time.
There's live music,
craft beer, food and shopping.
And it's very familyfriendly to.
There's a carnival,
a kids zone, you got it all.
And you know, I know,
saw some rain there,
but anytime you're here in Thun.
Yeah you you really need to
take that seriously. That
story we did right before the commercial
about about the dad and the son.
It's just so tragic and those ts
happen and you know people don'd
and I I don't know the circumsts
there and it doesn't matter butt
lightning safety just for a mom.
You know people like hey here cs
the thunderstorm so they they cn
see the lightning they hear the
Thunder here comes the thundersm
and and half of people that aret
are struck or killed and lightng
are from approaching thundersto.
The other half that are struck or killed
are from thunderstorms that have have exited,
but they've been struck by lighg
out of the back of the thunders.
So you're in as much danger wher
the thunderstorm has approached
you or whether it's departing y.
Yeah, I mean, so man,
it's just it's horrible to see
those stories like that.
Yeah.
Yeah,
We've had a few examples now just how.
Devastating it, you know, it ca.
I know people kind of getting sk
by lightning and sort of tossed around
as a joke a lot of times you know, but
goodness. But yeah. Well
I commend our kids school.
We at field day today they saw lightning
and that was the end of field d.
Well, you know, I mean once you see it,
it's usually a little too late.
You know you if you hear that Thunder
off in the distance and maybe you can't
see the lightning, that's the t.
You know you you will
absolutely you in people like,
oh and I've been on baseball
fields with the kids before.
They're like, well, it's it's a ways away.
I'm like, are you kidding me?
Remember we did that story just a couple
weeks ago and I told that story from 8-9
ten years ago that we had a thunderstorm
at Possum Kingdom like blue skit
the Rangers Ballpark in Arlingt,
blue skies.
The lightning bolt from Possum Kingdom stuck,
struck the stadium with blue sk.
It traveled it was over 60 mile.
Can't take this stuff too light.
I want you to look at this.
We have a thunderstorm watch in
effect until 8:00 o'clock tonig.
It includes the entire Metrople.
Fort Worth's picked up just
at 100th of an inch of rain.
The temp there is 75, half an inch of DFW.
The rain is still coming down right now.
Love Fields picked up about 1/4 of an inch.
Some light rain falling at Love Field.
We picked up a hat.
There's the the .51 at DFW,
a warm day 93, the high 72.
The low. The normals are 85 and.
It's 73 right now with the
South SE wind at 8.
Pollen,
oak and grass or moderate fungus is low now.
I don't have any severe weather
out there right now, but.
We have the Lightning
and I mean it is really,
really active right now in parts
of Denton County down into,
here's Tarrant, here's Dallas.
Look what's happening down
in southern Dallas County.
But look at the Lightning right,
the rain,
there's DFWI just showed you
that camera just a moment ago.
So just on the North End of the airport.
In north of there, up to Grapev.
That's why things are have slowd
down at the AT in Grapevine
right now at the festival.
Then down to the South.
Look at all the lightning here from Cedar
Hill to Duncanville down to Midlothian,
even Mansfield.
Lots of lightning of those stor.
And look at the cluster
of storms down by Itasca.
Blum, Hillsborough, Walnut Spri.
I mean it is really coming down and this
thunderstorm that's down by Abbott right now,
it'll arrive in Abbott in
the next couple of minutes.
So a lot of thunderstorm activity there.
The only severe thunderstorm
warnings in Hamilton County,
that's our far southwestern
county in our viewing area.
This is a, this is a hail produ,
quarter sized hail,
60 mile per hour winds.
Severe thunderstorm warning
for Hamilton County till 6:30.
It arrives in Lanham at 624,
Cranfield's Gap at 6:33.
Up to the north we go and there we are.
That's it.
No severe thunderstorms across
the majority of North Texas.
And here's the cold front and the temps.
73 in Dallas, 75 in Fort Worth.
Cold front starts to move in.
We're not finished with the rain now.
It's not widespread, 100% cover,
but half of us pick up rain as e
we head through the evening hou.
Here's 8, there's nine, there's.
Things start to fizzle out by 11
and we dry out overnight tonigh.
With the unfortunately quite a bit of
cloud cover for Saturday and for Sunday,
my forecast tonight 64 is
the low 50% of a sea rain.
Tonight there is still that threat of
some severe weather, so take note of that.
A severe thunderstorm watch in effect
until 8:00 during the day tomor.
Cooler, less humid but a mostly cloudy day,
which means we'll see some peeks of sun.
So peeks of sun with mostly cloy
skies Saturday Peeks of Sun on
Sunday with mostly cloudy skies.
Sunday 10% of us could pick up a little
shower as we head through Sunday part.
Slightly sunny on Monday.
And then there we are,
a little chance of rain next Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday and
one week from this Monday.
The following Monday is Memoriay
and right now Memorial Day weekd
looks like it will be a warm on,
but at this point it looks
like it will be a dry one.
