Thanks for staying with us into the
second-half hour of the news here at 4.
Jason Wheeler joined once again
by meteorologist Pete Delkus,
chief meteorologist,
who is walking into the shot here.
Not because he's late,
you're actually getting the latest
info coming down over there.
And these storms.
Yeah, we have a,
we have a little tornado
warning that's been issued for
Hopkins County. So I mean, it's
a little, it's a little and it's just
I'm looking over your shoulder here.
I apologize for the lack of eye contact,
but I mean, this just came out.
It's kind of odd. So let's get right
into the weather here and I'm
going to show you that in a moment.
But we're all under
the tornado watch.
It's not in Sulphur Springs.
But but it's to the southeast
of Sulphur Springs.
Kind of interesting.
I'll show you in a second.
Tornado watch in effect for North
Texas until 10:00 o'clock tonight.
Areas to the northwest is severe thunderstorm
watch until 7:00 o'clock tonight.
Right now we do have some sun peeking
out in Cedar Hill where the temp is 75.
In Dallas you can see kind of the same deal,
some sunshine peeking out 81 in Dallas.
The sunshine is not a good thing.
The Metroplex is all clear for right now.
We are currently dry.
It's off to the West.
Where we do have this line of thunderstorms,
Jason, can we do this?
Can we head out to Hopkins County real fast
and let me show folks what's happening.
Look at this little tornado warning
that's in effect for Hopkins County.
It's one little line of storms.
So there's Mount Pleasant,
here's Mount Vernon,
there's Sulphur Springs, here's Picton.
So we have one little, little,
just a little bit of rotation.
We have some damage right now that's being
reported in Picton with that tornado.
And they say it,
they're telling me that it's
still on the ground and picked in.
So let's, let's put that into motion for me,
if you will.
And again,
this is a we're getting a a credible
tornado report right now for a brief
tornado in southeastern Hopkins County.
That's why the warning has been issued.
Hopkins County until 5:00 o'clock picked in.
Right now we're getting reports
of a tornado on the ground and
some damage there in Picton.
Again, that's a southeastern Hopkins County.
That's one of our far
Northeastern counties in the WWF,
a viewing area.
And let's put that into motion one more time
and then we're going to put a track on it.
So it's really moving,
moving.
Or I think kind of see the the the
the outline of the the warned area
right now we'll put a track on that.
I know it's a fairly rural area
that part of Hopkins kept most
of Hopkins County quite candidly.
But certainly that part of Hopkins County
is ruling it's moving to the northeast.
It'll arrive in Weaver stay alert.
It's 432 Weaver arrival times 439
and then Mount Vernon it if it
holds together and and moves in
your direction to Mount Vernon
it'll be there about 447 and then
talco it'll be there.
At 508,
let's head back to the West now and
let me show you what's happening
with so this is kind of round one,
if you will,
these isolated thunderstorms across
North Texas, that's the isolated stuff here.
That's round one.
This is the main line.
The round two if you will and the the
second opportunity for thunderstorms
have a pretty good thunderstorm.
Here's Palo Pinto County,
that's where we have a no tornado warning.
It's under a tornado watch.
But you have a severe thunderstorm
running right now for
a Palo Pinto County. And there we are.
Here's Possum Kingdom, there's Mineral Wells,
here's the Brazos River.
So let's put a track on that Palo Pinto
severe thunderstorm warning until 5:30.
We'll put a track, show you the direction
that it's moving and show you the the
forward speeds about 40 to 50 miles an hour.
They've been fluctuating a bit,
but as it moves off to the east,
it'll arrive in Strawn.
Here's Strawn down here, 439,
so just a couple of minutes and Mineral
Wells at 4:57, I'll step out of the way.
Weatherford 528, Azle 544.
I'm still saying Fort Worth about 6 ish.
This is downtown Fort Worth about
6:00 PM give or take a few minutes.
DFW about 628, Dallas 655,
Plano 649, Garland at Seven O 4.
So that's the main line of storms.
That's the the main line and the final
line of storms and that's really round #2.
That's the track there that we're looking at,
at this moment.
There we are at 5:00 o'clock.
Remember I said Fort Worth at six.
There we are at 6:00 o'clock.
There's seven o'clock.
Here's 8:00 o'clock used to.
We still have severe thunderstorms and
your severe weather threat will not end
until that cold front moves through.
There we are at 9:00 o'clock
and then 10:00 o'clock.
You could see 11:00 o'clock tonight and
we still have some rain on the backside.
So Jason I'll be back in a couple of minutes.
But just remember the tornado warning
does continue for that's Hopkins County,
Hopkins County.
A tornado warning does continue
until 5:00 o'clock.
We do have confirmed report
of a tornado on the ground.
It's it's near Purley it was near Picton,
now it's near Purley.
That's 11 miles north of Winnsboro
moving northeast at 45 miles an hour.
This is where it is.
Right now moving toward the and the
general direction of Clarksville.
I'll be back in a few minutes.
I'll have more updates.
