Neurologist Mario Ruiz here,
joining me at the desk.
And Mario we've been talking about,
we got Friday football games have been moved,
folks trying to have outdoor events and
they say they're gonna keep them going.
But you gonna answer that question.
That rain tomorrow,
right? Maybe not a good idea to have a plan
outside tomorrow afternoon and evening.
Yeah, if it's late in the night,
I think conditions will be better.
But we are dealing with some strong storms.
Again, I've said it before,
this is the strongest severe.
Outlook that we've had since
the spring not to play with and
definitely not to take lightly.
You know this time of the year we
tend to get a little bit more relaxed,
but it is technically that time where
we see a secondary severe weather
season here in North Texas and
tomorrow is a perfect example of that.
We actually do have an enhanced
risk for severe weather.
It includes the Metroplex,
it includes Denton, Collin, Rockwall County.
So that definitely something to pay
close attention to and that's for.
Damaging winds, the potential for large hail,
and even the potential for a few tornadoes.
Before I get into the details of that,
I do want to get you prepared
for the rest of your day.
Temperature makes it to 79 degrees.
It stays pretty cloudy all day.
We have a lot of gulf moisture being
brought on by this S wind at 10 to 20,
by the way.
That's the reason why we could
see some areas of drizzle.
And that S wind is also what's helping
our temperature climb to about 79
degrees for Dallas and Fort Worth,
78 in Denton,
a few locations making it to 80 degrees.
With 80 and McKinney,
about 80 in Granbury and in Meridian.
So we have this cloud cover coming in,
all thanks to that moisture coming
in from the Gulf that is going
to interact with a potent system
that's currently bringing in some
areas of snow across the Rockies.
What we'll notice is that that system
makes it into the Panhandle tonight and
what happens is that a dry line develops.
We generally see this setup in the spring.
That dry line,
it's what separates the dry air and West TX.
From the moist air in North Texas
and it's a little muggy out.
That's definitely something that's in place.
So we'll see thunderstorms develop
along that line sometime midday, Friday.
I'm showing you this right here.
So it's Friday around noon.
This could change by an hour or two
and it could vary by a county or two.
Alright,
so we have these storms that develop.
At first they'll be isolated storms,
but as this pushes towards I-35,
all thanks to that front,
it's helping it push.
We're going to see this become a more
straight line of showers and thunderstorms.
That's where we could see the strong winds.
We could see the potential for
maybe some rotation along that line.
We could also see some hail,
what I will also be watching as
this moves to the east.
Look at this,
this is now around 3-4 in the afternoon
is the potential for some discreet
sales ahead of that main line.
That is where we could see some
rotation with isolated thunderstorms.
So the tornadic threat is
actually larger east of I-35.
The more E this goes,
it interacts with a bit more instability
and a lot more moisture and that's
where we see a bit better coverage
with these showers and thunderstorms.
It's now six, now seven,
now 8-9 and it's out.
Of North Texas.
So this will be done by the time
1011 midnight rolls around.
It's actually going to be a
pretty quiet night after that.
So our severe weather outlook,
again, it includes an enhanced
risk for the Metroplex,
slight risk for areas West of the Metroplex.
The main concern will be
the potential for winds.
That's what's going to impact
more of the region.
Some of us will see the large hail.
A few of us may see an isolated
tornado mainly east of I-35.
The flood threat is small,
but it's there.
If we happen to see one of those
storms that kind of just doesn't
have a lot of motion to it,
half an inch to 1 1/2 inches of rain
possible for the Metroplex slightly
higher north and east of the Metroplex.
Definitely want to make
sure to have that WA app.
It's going to alert you if you
have to be warned and you can
also look at radar on there.
So it'll be super helpful this weekend
looking very fall like we'll be back.
