Stormy Monday Night in North Texas
STORMY NIGHT FOR SOME OF US…
An active 24 hours is shaping up for North Texas with scattered showers and thunderstorms developing later this evening and continuing thru the night. A stationary front located in southeast Oklahoma will slide south this evening and storms will develop along that front as it pushes into North Texas. I would expect a few spotty storms to develop after 7pm.
A strong upper level low is moving out of Northern Mexico into West Texas this evening. As that draws closer to North Texas, we will see coverage of the storms increase after midnight. There is a small threat of severe weather overnight mainly for areas south and east of Dallas. Large hail and damaging winds will be the main threat. But there will be some low level spin in the atmosphere that could allow for a few storms to rotate in their lowest levels which would mean a low tornado threat. This threat looks to be mainly for areas south and east of Dallas (i.e. a line from Canton to Corsicana and south).
Here is the coverage timeline for the rain in North Texas.
TOMORROW…
Rain coverage will shift more into eastern sections of North Texas during the day tomorrow. Those areas east of I-35E will have much higher coverage of rain. There will likely be a sharp drop off between those that see rain and those that don't. Where that cut off lies is tough to say. It could be right over the metroplex or just to the east. It will stay cloudy tomorrow with temperatures in the 70s.
RAINFALL FORECAST...
There will likely be a sharp cut-off from those that see rain and those that don't. But here is a general idea of where the heaviest rain will fall.
WEDNESDAY…
Cooler weather will move in behind our departing storm system. Temperatures will start in the 50s and only warm into the 60s under mostly cloudy skies. We could squeeze out a few light rain showers on Wednesday but nothing significant.
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY..
Temperatures will stay relatively cool starting the mornings in the 40s and then warming into the mid to upper 60s in the afternoon. The south winds will start to return Friday afternoon and we have another breezy warm weekend on tap.
THIS WEEKEND…
Just like this past weekend, temperatures will climb into the upper 70s and low 80s on Saturday and Sunday with strong south winds blowing. There will be a mixture of sun and clouds and it looks like we might squeeze out some rain on Sunday.
