We begin Thursday with a dying area of showers to the west and NW of Fort Worth. An MCV (mesoscale convective vortex) formed overnight. This cold pool of air in the upper levels of the atmosphere may be the focal point for some new storm development by late morning and especially this afternoon anywhere across north Texas. I'm also watching a complex of storms in northwestern Oklahoma that are diving southeast and will slowly weaken as they approach the Red River Valley after lunchtime. Some of you may see some showers and storms today.
We also have a weak cool front that's stallied along the Red River Valley. This boundary may get pushed south of the Red River this afternoon, allowing more storms to form along it, especially East and northeast of DFW... I'll be monitoring throughout the day.
Great news: Due to the clouds around and a NE wind across the northern half of North Texas, temperatures will be a little cooler in these areas today near 90. Hotter south of I-20.
Tomorrow will be relatively dry with highs back in the upper nineties.
