Severe Weather Threat Update

We?ve got a few passing showers getting ready to move into Johnson, Tarrant and Denton Counties from the west. We do not expect any severe weather with this rain.

This rain is taking some of our instability away, softening the risk of severe weather later this evening in the metro area. Once this rain clears the atmosphere will only have an hour or so to recharge.

To our west a squall line is taking shape ahead of a cold front, it is currently west of Abilene and Wichita Falls. We expect severe weather to be in our western counties by late afternoon. There is a TORNADO WATCH in effect until 9pm just to the west of the Metro:

I expect to see a tornado warning within the next hour over near Seymour (SW of Wichita Falls). The worst of the weather will be outside of our area to our west for the next several hours.

They should be effecting our western counties by 5:00-6:00pm. There is a high risk of damaging winds and large hail with these storms, a slight risk of isolated tornadoes.

These storms will be in the metro area later this evening closer to the 10pm-Midnight. Severe to strong storms (but a much smaller risk of tornadoes) could bring some damaging winds, very heavy rain and small hail to the metroplex.

Overnight will have to monitor the threat of localized flooding from Dallas County to the east. Rain and a few storms could still be in east of the metro by tomorrow morning as the front moves through.
