Scattered Storms
Thru The Afternoon For Parts Of Texas
This morning, fortunately stayed dry for sunrise services across the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex. Unfortunately, the same can not be said for areas in the Red River Valley who are still seeing some showers and storms this morning. This activity is non-severe but is capable of heavy rain, lightning, and perhaps some small hail. Additional activity is expected to develop farther south across Dallas and Ft. Worth toward midday and, especially, this afternoon. Some of this activity may briefly become strong to severe after 2:00 PM CDT. Storm motion will continue to be fairly slow and toward the south and east. Although instability and moisture will be sufficient for organized storms, shear will be marginal for severe weather which will prove to be limiting factor. Thus, multicell storms are expected, rather than supercells later this afternoon. Quarter-size hail and gusty/damaging winds are the primary hazards from the strongest cells today. Widespread severe weather is very unlikely.
North Texas Weather – Easter 2012
A better chance of severe weather looks to develop across the Southern Plains tomorrow afternoon and evening. I’ll have more on this potential later this afternoon, after I have has time to analyze morning model data. Take care and have a great Easter!
