A Morning Storm, A Hot Day

A severe storm got going this morning over Lamar County. It produced reports from the public of penny and nickel-sized hail. The storm started up where both more low-level moisture and an upper-level trough where in place. The storm weakened as it moved out of our coverage area. A few more storms cropped up and the National Weather Service has been issuing some statements on these storms. This activity will continue for another hour of so and then move out of our area. We are not expecting any more in storms the rest of the day.

The rest of north Texas woke to some fog and low ceilings. Temperatures start in the muggy mid-60's under cloudy skies but a little sunshine and a south wind will get temperatures up into the upper 80's today. It was just last weekend we hit the "warmest day of the year so far" mark of 86 degrees; this weekend we'll best that number on both days. Sunday will get closer to 90 degrees in fact, making two Sunday's in a row we got the warmest day of Spring.

TODAY: Cloudy start but becoming mostly sunny, high of 87. Winds south at 5-10 mph.

SUNDAY: Mostly Sunny, high near 90, Winds south 15-25mph.

We have a rather decent chance of rain on Monday night, there will be some thunderstorms in the mix but we are not expecting a severe weather outbreak.

The Trinity River is still in flood stage around Dallas and downstream. The river at Dallas is about 7.5 ft over flood and will take another week to get below flood stage. Minor flooding is reported.

I'll have full report on the weather tonight after the basketball game. Hope to see you then.
