Stormy Night for North Texas

Storms mainly north and west of Fort Worth as of 300pm.  None of these have been severe, but there is a some heavy rain and lots of lightning.  The severe threat will continue this evening and tonight across North Texas.  A stationary front is draped over the southeastern sections of North Texas.  Take a look at the temps.

The severe threat will be greatest south and east of this front.  That is where there will be a wind, hail and even a tornado threat.  That is in the warm sector of the storm system.

North of the front, the greatest severe weather threat will be large hail.  I can't rule out some strong winds, but by far hail will be the biggest concern in the metroplex and for areas north.  With the cold air locked in place, it is highly unlikely we could see a spin up tornado north of the front.  If the front were to move north this evening, than the tornado threat would shift a little farther north.

Overnight, a cold front will move from west to east and generate a line of storms that will be the last wave of rain.  The favored area for storms with this front will be from I-20 southward.  These storms overnight will again pose a hail threat and in the warm sector (along and south of the stationary threat) there will be a tornado threat overnight.
