We're looking at another likely round of storms moving in this late evening & overnight in #FortWorth/#Dallas.

One cluster is over the far NW counties (Jack, Throckmorton, Young, et al) & the other is farther SW, over the Big Country's heart, right now entering #Abilene.

It's mostly non-severe, though a few cells are producing marginally severe hail & a bit of severe wind.

The models are mostly saying these will fall apart before reaching the I-35 Corridor... but I ain't too sure about that. The environment here is juicy & primed. So I'll say that while there is a distinct possibility they will indeed peter out... don't assume they will. Still be ready for a possible-to-likely round of storms from West to East as evening turns into night & overnight, with areas along & N of a US-180-Weatherford-I-20 line seeing activity earlier than south of such.

Overall, expect things tonight to be mild & still very humid, as we continue in this "jungle" pattern (beautiful, ain't it?!).

Did you cram as much of this week's business into yesterday? If not, you're going to be dodging and amongst the raindrops, because for the rest of this week, plus the start of the upcoming week - including Mother's Day - it's going to be all about clouds + on and off rain across #FortWorth / #Dallas and North Central #Texas.

Currently, a massive area of rain, mostly light to moderate with some heavy pockets, occupies the region south of interstate 20 and will move and spread northward this morning.

Yes, northward. A tropical style disturbance slid up from the Gulf of Mexico, so that'll be the main direction today. Overall we're in a very tropical style pattern right now, which of course I thrive in, being a jungle boy. 🙂😆

The rain will persist in the region throughout most of the day, tapering down somewhat in mid to late afternoon, leading to a sunset and night of more isolated activity. Then there's tomorrow, where we'll have isolated showers and thunderstorms regionwide.

Now the question you may have is, what about severe weather? This is actually not a severe weather kind of situation we're in this week. While an isolated storm cell might get a little feisty and produce marginally severe hail of quarter size and some Gusty winds, this is mainly going to be a rain and lightning event. So make sure to take your lightning precautions, and be aware that with how much sheer water will be falling, flooding will be the primary concern. So use Good Sense around water and remember that mantra, turn around don't drown!

As usual, I will be providing updates through the channels.

We're at a point where the showers and storms are more on the isolated side for the rest of this evening. They will also be isolated tomorrow. So be sure that as you're going about your business, you have your gear handy, but don't be canceling plans. A shower or storm that impacts will probably last 1 to 2 hours before moving on, with a break in between. #fortworth #dallas #dfw #dfwwx #txwx #ntxwx #weather #weatherupdate #stormwatch

It's a beautifully warm & humid one out there today... & with the ingredients present, we have contact - isolated "pop-up" thunderstorms have fired up along the US-281 Corridor between Mineral Wells & Hico. They're non-severe (for now) but have dropped some pea-sized hail on Stephenville.

Their main direction will be NNE & will trend Eastward. More may well fire up in the area between the US-281 Corridor & that of I-35 as the afternoon progresses into the evening.

In a nutshell - this is not a plan-cancelling day, but be aware & geared up just in case you get one of these storms in your vicinity. We may well find ourselves with a couple here in the #FortWorth/#Dallas area itself. I'll be monitoring the situation.

#dfw #dfwwx #txwx #ntxwx #weather #weatherupdate #stormwatch

Simply put, today is going to be a stormy one. Overnight, huge convective systems spawned statewide and in the surrounding ones, bringing widespread rain. This will continue through today, so I'd say expect rain on and off. It won't constantly rain, but expect it to rain most of the day. The same goes for tomorrow, Mother's Day.

The severe weather threat is low. The strongest storm cells will probably manage to spit out some quarter size hail and a little bit of feisty wind, but for the most part this is just rain and lightning. However, flooding is going to be a significant risk. Take flooding seriously, as it is actually the number one weather killer. Use your safety precautions, remember #TurnAroundDontDrown. Have your gear at the ready as you go about your business, and try to have your plans be indoors rather than out.

#FortWorth/#Dallas & Vicinity ~ #WeatherUpdate

Though it's still gonna generally be hot like the gates to the underworld have flung open, today's heat will be peppered with actual scattered cloud cover + showers/storms!

Be prepared for the possibility of sudden rainfall as you go about your business today, & beware of lightning strikes. The strongest cells may spin up some high winds, as well. Direction will generally be from south to north (yes, south to north).

Activity will stop after sunset.
