Storm Update 9pm MONDAY

9pm UPDATE... Scattered storms continue across Collin, Denton Counties and areas along the Red River.  So far no severe storms, just some much needed rain.  It has been dry for a little while in Tarrant County but more storms are developing to the west.

There is a 850mb front, which is basically a front located about 5,000 ft above the ground moving toward the metroplex.  This will provide the focus for showers and thunderstorms in Fort Worth and Dallas over the next couple of hours.  Then after this front moves southeast the storms will end by 2am across DFW.

Here is a map showing the surface front and the front 5,000 feet above the ground.

There is still the small threat of severe weather tonight with hail being the greatest threat in the Dallas / Fort Worth area.  Although there could be some wind gusts to 50 mph.  South of the surface front is where the severe threat is higher.
