5:10 pm Watching for T-Storm Development West

5:10 pm Radar Snapshot

We are watching for any thunderstorm development near a dryline in our western counites this evening. A few showers or updrafts have tried to develop but the cap or lid in the atmosphere so far has held and suppressed the development. We’ll continue to monitor that area over the next couple of hours for any activity.

Severe Weather Possible Today

A few storms develop today in our northwestern counties near the dryline. Severe weather is possible.

Two rounds of severe weather are possible in North Texas over the next 48 hours. Round one is today with a dryline setting up in our western counites. A piece of Jetstream energy will also be moving through the area. A few storms will try and form in our northwestern counites after 4 pm near the dryline – half dollar sized hail and winds to 65 mph would be the primary concern with that activity – it will weaken after sunset and most likely stay confined to only our northwestern counites. Round two arrives tomorrow with a cold front that comes sweeping through North Texas. After 3 pm storms initiate very close to the Metroplex and then a line of storms will congeal as the activity pushes south into the evening. Half dollar sized hail and winds to 65 mph will be a concern with that activity as well.

Today’s Severe Zone. Half dollar sized hail and winds to 65 mph are the primary concerns.
Storms develop Saturday as the actual cold front moves through the area. Storms form near the Metroplex and then morph into a line of storms pushing south into the evening.
