Turning our attention now to
our weather, Greg, I know it's been
a busy day in the weather center.
I mentioned before if you
stepped up earlier this morning,
pretty calm, but change is coming.
Yeah. Around the yeah, Metroplex,
it is calm now. Western counties,
we're seeing those as severe storms.
And I mentioned that tornado warning,
that new tornado warning that we do
have a little farther out to the West.
That does include a Palo
Pinto Jack counties there.
Let's get you back to a radar
and show you that right now.
So this is the tornado warning
until 6:00 AM Jack Palace,
Pinto and Young counties until
6:00 o'clock here this morning,
so you can see that line of storms.
There and this is radar indicated.
So we will have that our rotation this
storm is capable of producing the tornado.
So this is what we're gonna be
talking about and dealing with
as we go through the morning.
We'll put that storm track on there for you.
As the storm moves off to the
north and east at around 35 mph,
so you can see around 6:00 AM then you're
there will be impacted by this storm.
So again the tornado warning
goes until 6:00 o'clock.
This is radar indicated and you can see
putting a new storm track on there.
We have a mariellen and she's working
the radar here for us this morning.
So Vineyard, Runaway Bay, Lake.
Bridgeport around a 6:20 AM and
park springs around 6:27 with
the attract of this system.
So let's zoom in a little
bit to more if we can.
If we can put the velocity of mode
on there and kind of pick up where
that rotation is going to be with
the store and you can see center
zooming in on that area there.
So again we are talking about the
rotation right in this area that
we but zoomed in on and I saw the
highways of popping up there where
there is going to be a close to
there and if we cannot see those
highways where that is close to.
But again this is going to be.
Jack Palace,
Pinto and Young counties with that
tornado warning there and she is
circling that area there that we do
have that to potential radar indicating
with the rotation there here this morning.
So let's zoom back out and talk a
little bit more about the entire line
of storms that we're talking about as
it works its way into the area here.
So the tornado warning that we do
have there a little farther S we
have a severe thunderstorm warning
for Eastland County that goes
this morning with a quarter sized
hail goes until 6:00 AM as well.
So we'll watch that storm as it works
its way off to the north and east.
3035 mph,
so quarter size hail gonna be possible
with that we'll put a storm track on
that one for you as well here this morning.
And you see Eastland Ranger around
the 5:38 or so getting over towards
Strawn and Mingus just after
6:00 o'clock here this morning.
So let's give you a broader
view of the radar,
the entire line of storms as
it works its way through.
So we'll be talking about
the quarter size hail.
The brief spin up tornado can't be ruled out.
So please do make sure you have
a way to get warnings in this
morning as this line moves on in
make sure you're in your safe room.
Again, we haven't had any
confirmations of anything.
On the ground these are radar
indicated and with this a line of
storms embedded with those brief
spin up tornadoes as what we're
gonna be dealing with and that's
why we do have the tornado watch
that is in effect until 11:00
o'clock here this morning.
So it will take a few hours for
this line of storms to March
this way across the area here.
But as it does we will have that
potential for the severe weather
moving into the Metroplex.
It looks like just in time
for the morning rush.
So let's talk a little bit more
about the tornado watch until
11:00 o'clock here this morning.
It does include all of the Metroplex
and areas just east of there getting
out toward Terrell Greenville.
At the bottom here this morning now
the timing with the line of storms as
we head towards 7-8 o'clock moving
into the western parts of the Metroplex,
Tarrant County,
Denton County as well.
Up along the Everett River there
for Sherman in Gainesville.
You'll be looking at this line
moving through.
Then it works its way a little farther E
as we head toward 10:00 o'clock and noon,
it gets into our eastern counties
and the severe weather threat may
ramp up even a little bit more in our
Eastern and southeastern counties.
By mid to late afternoon before
the drive home,
you'll start to see some sunshine
breaking out across the area.
We will be clearing out during that
time frame. Fort Worth in the meantime.
Looking at 67 degrees right now,
we'll have those mid upper 60s with
those at temperatures out there for
you as we go through the day today.
And we will see the temperatures
only in the upper 60s today.
But some much colder air is on the
way as we head later into the week
as we'll have the temperatures,
sunshine returning,
temperatures cooling down for us
as well as we head toward the
latter half of the week.
But watch out for that severe weather
that we're going to have out there
for us as we go through the day today.
There's the 10 day forecast coming
up here for you right now with
those temperatures not getting
out of the 40s a little bit.
Later this week and we will have some
rain chances returning for the weekend.
Now this storm system we're talking about,
we're on the severe weather end of this.
I do want to bring Marielle in.
Now this is a very large dynamic system,
snow,
very heavy rain in other parts
of the area
and snow across all of the Iraqis.
So this is a major system that we're dealing
with. Yes, absolutely.
And I mean, what we've been dealing with is
obviously the severe weather aspect to it,
but we are also dealing with portions
of the system that does bring in some
incredibly intense weather conditions
for portions of the Front Range.
So if you're headed anywhere
outside of the state,
definitely want to make sure to
check your flights because this
system is bringing in even some
snowpack Blizzard conditions across
portions of eastern Colorado and the
severe weather threat that enhances,
believe it or not,
the more E this system moves.
So every box that you see colored there,
that's basically indicating a
different threat with this large,
large system coming through.
So across the Dakotas into
portions of Kansas,
Nebraska dealing with Blizzard conditions
as well as winter weather warnings.
In place now wind advisories ahead
of this system and ahead of the
system also dealing with a flood
watch already in place for Louisiana.
So meanwhile,
we're in the slight risk for severe weather.
We're seeing that ongoing now.
But as the system continues
to progress towards the east,
we see it moving into Louisiana later today.
So if you're heading on the road,
maybe you're taking Interstate 20,
maybe you're taking Interstate 30,
you're going to be running into areas
of severe weather this afternoon and
the timeline for that again after
this line moves through North Texas.
Around 2-3 this afternoon it starts to
make its way through Arkansas and Louisiana.
That's where the threat for
severe weather then shifts for
the afternoon hours causing severe
weather in terms of strong winds,
hail and long lived tornadoes.
Unfortunately for this area eventually
going into middle Middle Mississippi
tonight and into Thursday and this
system meanwhile it's bringing in
severe weather across the South,
it's going to continue to bring in
the potential for winter weather,
not just across the northern
plains but also the Great Lakes.
So if you're headed anywhere in that.
Correction,
You definitely want to make sure you're
not getting delayed on any of those flights.
