Severe storm threat looks to start in areas west of I-35 between 12-1 pm but coverage quickly spreads east across North Texas during the 1-3 pm hours, including the DFW Metroplex and Red River counties.
Very large hail will be the main threat along with damaging winds over 60 mph.
Additional storms form along a stalled frontal boundary near the I-20 corridor in the late afternoon hours (between 3-6 pm).
Very large hail, damaging winds over 60 mph and a tornado threat will exist with these storms along with additional storms that form in Central Texas.
Additional severe storms continue to form across Central Texas for the remainder of the afternoon and evening hours. These storms will move mainly southeast.
Heavy rainfall with any storms could result in flooding conditions.
Keep in mind, not everybody will see severe weather, especially north of Highway 380. Temperatures this morning range between 65 and 75 degrees, depending on what side of the front you are on. Skies will remain mostly cloudy today with highs in the low to mid 80s. Again, storms will press south of the area after 6:00 p.m.
You'll wake up to temperatures Friday morning in the upper 50s to low 60s. Sunny and perfect by afternoon with highs in the mid to upper70s.
Clouds will increase the second half of Saturday but another nice day is ahead. Afternoon highs in the upper 70s. There will be some showers starting to move in from the west towards midnight into early Sunday morning.
Mother's Day looks wet, with off and on showers and non-severe storms. I will be monitoring a possible flooding threat as well. Highs in the 70s.
Some leftover rain is possible before noon on Monday with slow clearing by afternoon. Afternoon highs will top out near 80°.
Tuesday looks quiet but much warmer. Mid to upper 80s... Near 90 on Wednesday with a ton of humidity both days.
We may have another strong storm system affecting our area late Wednesday into Thursday of next week. Stay tuned.
