This rain, that's the good part.
The unfortunate part is that it
falls on Mother's Day weekend.
You did put a positive spin on it.
Yeah. So we, I mean,
especially heading into the summer months,
as you will find out the first
summer in Texas here soon.
We definitely need the rain.
So thankful for it, just,
you know, a little annoyed by it.
I think you can be both right.
So today we actually do have that
slight risk for severe weather.
This is a very low end threat.
And this is for the potential of large hail,
strong winds and a very low
isolated tornado threat.
And I'm going to going to say this again,
scattered severe storms possible.
Not everyone sees this.
In fact, the higher threat looks
to be West of the Metroplex.
So let's talk about the timing.
This is our latest model and it
came out at the top of the hour.
So you're going to see and it'll notice it.
It'll look a little different.
So this is Friday,
around 3:00 in the afternoon.
We're going to see a few breaks
in the clouds.
We'll see some sunshine.
We're also going to see a
few scattered showers.
So you may be out and about here
in the next couple of hours and
see some drizzle on the windshield,
but the main activity will
hold off until this afternoon.
I'm going to Fast forward
the clock here to 5:00.
In the afternoon we see a few of these
storms building mainly West of DFW,
again, scattered between 5:00 and about 7.
A few of these storms will
become a more developed line.
Even then,
it doesn't look very well developed.
It looks more broken.
This is Friday around 7:00,
and we see this line from Wichita
Falls towards Albany and even Abilene,
so still West of North Texas,
mainly for areas of the big country.
That line is going to try to
approach DFW during the evening,
but it's really going to fall
apart when it does.
So I'm showing you now around
9:00 in the evening.
Those storms try to make it into the area.
They're going to be around the area,
but I think the threat is really
going to be minimal by this point.
At times we'll see some heavy rain.
Yes.
At times we'll see that lightning, of course.
The small hail potential,
the strong wind potential that's going
to be there until about 8:00 or 9.
And I'm thinking that a lot of
this really starts to lower,
at least a severe threat does as
we head into the overnight hours.
But we'll still see some heavy rainfall.
I'm going to show you now this is
overnight into three in the morning.
We still see those scattered
showers and storms.
And as we approach,
say,
7:00 in the morning,
that rain becomes a bit more
widespread across our western counties.
And that's when we'll see a higher
flood threat.
So this evening at 7:00 PM.
We go into a flood watch
for our western counties.
This is not include Dallas or Tarrant,
but in fact areas West and this is going
to be in place until seven in the evening.
On Sunday, 2 to 4 inches of rain will
be expected for our western counties,
maybe even slightly higher amounts
if you find yourself South of
Interstate 20 close to Eastland,
Albany, Coleman, Brownwood.
Unfortunately,
that's an area that desperately does
need the rain still under a drought
There one to two inches of rain for our
I-35 corridor counties including Dallas,
Tarrant, Rockwall County as well and Cullen,
Denton County.
One to two inches slower amounts
for our eastern counties.
Let's talk Saturday through the morning.
We're going to notice again bulk
of the rain stays West of DFW.
That then shifts along our eastern counties
as we head into the afternoon hours.
This is around 4:00.
The threat for severe weather
here is super low.
The main concern is going to be.
The downpours and the localized flooding
that we could see with any storm that
kind of lingers a little too long.
This is Saturday.
Now,
around 9:00 in the evening we
still see those scattered storms.
Notice how not at any one point
everyone is seeing the rain.
This is just really scattered activity
all day Saturday and on Sunday
coverage goes down a little bit,
but it's still there.
This is Sunday.
Around noon,
we start to see a bit more shower storm
activity across our southern counties.
That expands to include Dallas,
Fort Worth in the afternoon and
even into the evening time.
Keep in mind our temperatures are still going
to be in the low 80s for the afternoons.
It's still going to be humid.
So a very muggy feeling
throughout the weekend,
daily rain,
chance to stay with us through next week.
This is just very typical of
May and we're kind of getting
more rain in the bucket before
we head into our summer months.
