Afternoon/Evening Storms

Here at the noon hour we have temperatures in the mid-50's in the western half of Tarrant Co. and around 80° in eastern Dallas County. Needless to say there is a cold front currently dividing the metroplex.  The front is currently from Cleburne NE up to Duncanville to Rockwall. Radar indicates it is still moving slowly southeast. It is expected to stall out tonight.

Storms will form this afternoon in the warm air along the front and possibly produce severe weather. Below I show you two graphics generated from the Storm Prediction Center, showing the percentage chance of a Tornado (a 5 percent chance east of Dallas) and for 1" Hail (a 15 percent chance it would occur within 25 miles of any point in yellow: this includes the metro area). This activity should fire up this afternoon along these extreme temperature gradients.

Currently some showers are racing up from the southwest but still southwest of Waco heading toward Hamilton and Bosque counties.
