Oh, a rough night for storms for many.
Thanks to everyone who shared te
photos and videos with us in our North
Texas Through Your Lens Facebook page.
Like this video here from Michael Vargas.
The Lightning put on quite a
show last night and a lot of you
snapped photos of the storm clos
throughout the weekend as well.
This is from Renee and Cedar Hi.
Thank you, Renee for that photo there.
Let's talk weather.
Let's get to meteorologist Mario Ruiz
here because Mariela I'm I alsow
a lot of people snapping photosf
the hail in their hand to show .
How big it was?
I mean huge like
like a like a baseball size piece of hail.
Yeah. And just coming through te
reports from over the last 24 hs
in North Texas, there were over0
reports of just reports of weat.
7577 of them were hail reports.
So a lot of the the severity that we saw.
Was because of the hail and tody
unfortunately is another day
where we have to be watching it.
I do want to show you this just because I
know a few of you are seeing rain right now.
We're seeing some thunderstorms pushing
through NE North Texas and this is all
as a complex of storms moves ouf
Oklahoma and into our Red River counties.
The severity threat is lowering
across the area but still produg
some heavy rainfall just exiting
bottom moving towards the south.
Today though the concern for
severe weather returns.
For the afternoon I'm thinking
between 4:00 and 10:00 and this
is for the potential of ping pog
ball sized hail as well as the
potential for 60 plus mile per winds.
And the isolated tornado threat
is also there although it is lo.
The area that is most likely toe
this is the enhanced risk righte
at the Level 3 out of five and s
is for southwest of the Metropl.
Another way to look at it Southf
Interstate 20, West of Interstate 35.
So that's the area that we're looking
at for the potential of that severity.
But everyone else in North Texas
a slight risk for severe weathe.
That's a level 2 out of five.
What this means is that even thh
you'll see a thunderstorm and doesn't
necessarily mean it will be sev,
but if it is severe,
hail will be the main concerns.
Let's talk timing.
Now that I've explained that ben
4:00 and 5:00 in the afternoon,
I'm expecting some of these storms to
pop up first West of the Metrop,
Albany, Breckenridge, Eastland.
We may see some activity across
the Red River counties just norh
of Gainesville eventually though
this is around six.
Look at what happens closer to seven.
It makes it into western
portions of the Metroplex.
There will be a long line from Hamilton
to bottom of showers and storms.
Not every storm will be severe.
This will continue to move EastE
throughout the rest of the day.
This is around 8:00.
And we see this between Waco,
Terrell, Greenville, Paris.
We'll continue to see this pushE
Between 9:00 and 10:00 the sevee
threat shifts to East Texas and
then the Metroplex is in the clr
for the severe threat,
although we could still see
some lingering storms.
I'm expecting though another rod
of showers and thunderstorms tht
could be strong to severe on Tuesday,
Tuesday.
We have a slight risk that incls
a big portion of the Metroplex.
To see all of the Metroplex,
a big portion of North Texas foe
potential of strong winds and 1/4 sized hail.
The timing for that.
Also in the afternoon between 10
to 2:00 we'll start to see this
really popping up between Mineoa
and Sulphur Springs.
And a lot of this activity looks
like it stays
east of the Metroplex through
5-6 and seven in the evening and
then it starts to dwindle down.
We're looking at Denton right n.
We see a little bit of clearing.
For the most part it's cloudy.
It's going to be mostly cloudy all day.
Temperature of 68 degrees there,
76 degrees at DFW Airport,
wind NE 10 to 20 mph.
Our dew points are elevated,
so it feels muggy, It feels sti.
We have a lot of moisture to work with,
so any thunderstorm that takes shape today
could also produce some locally heavy rain.
Mid 80s for our Red River count,
low 90s for the Metroplex,
a mix of 80s and 90s South of D,
and this is because of the hit and miss.
Storms and just the time of they
it happens the rest of the week,
our dew points stay elevated.
I'm showing you this because it
does factor in our heat index
for the rest of the week.
We're talking triple digits Tue,
Wednesday and actual triple digs
with our temperatures as early
as Friday through the weekend.
And then it stays hot in the tre
digits early parts of next week.
