Warm Then Storm

It is looking more and more like a work-week plagued by strong spring storms. The highest risk arrives Tuesday night for the Metroplex but continue in some form all the way into next weekend:

For the metro area we expect a warm & windy day. You'll likely notice the increase in humidity. The storm risk today is across the southeast counties. We are not expecting severe weather but these storms could produce lightning and brief heavy rain:

 

The storm threat on Monday is under 10% but it will be rather warm. The humidity will be even higher has highs get into the 90's across the western half of north Texas. We have yet to hit 90° at DFW this year, we'll come close tomorrow:

The big concern regarding the weather arrives Tuesday afternoon. The dry line will be close enough to this pool of very hot, humid air to initatie a line of thunderstorms. These storms will likely produce damaging winds, large hail. This is a risk of tornadoes with these storms as well. The highest risk start to the west of the Metro area but moves into DFW by evening:

By late night and early Wednesday morning the threat will morph into damaging winds and localized flooding. The heavy rain could still be around on Wednesday morning. By Wednesday afternoon we expect enough heating to fire up another round of strong storms. This time the risk will be mostly east of the Metro area:

 

It's the warmest weekend of the year so far and it'll be the warmest work week as well. The run of 80° degree days started last Thursday and could run all the way until next Thursday:
