North Texas Weather - A Brief Break from the Rain?

[TexasStooge]

As mentioned yesterday, we're gonna get some rain...if the storm system will stop teasing us. A few of these storms will become strong, but should remain below severe limits. However, localized flooding seem to be the only threat in North Texas. At this hour, we have some showers in the western areas of North Texas moving North. However, the rain will be more widespread throughout the day.

[font=Courier New]* AN AREA OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS

SLOW EASTWARD MOVEMENT COMBINED WITH AREAS OF HEAVIER RAINFALL
WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD 1 TO 2 INCH RAINFALL TOTALS WITH
ISOLATED LOCATIONS POSSIBLY RECEIVING IN EXCESS OF 3 INCHES.

* THE HEAVY RAINFALL WILL RESULT IN RISES ON STREAMS AND CREEKS
AND RESULT IN FLOODING OF LOW-LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS.

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR HEAVY
RAIN WHICH MAY LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING. YOU SHOULD MONITOR THE
LATEST FORECASTS FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AND BE
PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION SHOULD FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS BE ISSUED FOR

[font=Arial]The Flash Flood Watch that was issued for the southwestern portions of North Texas has been cancelled as a band of rain and thunderstorms move away from the watch area. However, an Urban & Small Stream Advisory remains in effect for Dallas and Tarrant Counties until 7:15PM CDT this evening.[/font]

[TexasStooge]

Light to moderate rain with a few rumbles of thunder continues to drift Northeast. Areas between Waco & Palestine as well as from a Wichita Falls, Bowie, and Gainesville line will get a few tenths of an inch with locally higher amounts possible in isolated areas. Otherwise, expect drizzle and foggy conditions elsewhere in North Texas; however, more thunderstorm development is possible later this afternoon.

On Wednesday, we'll dry off quickly with wind gusts as high as 30 MPH under Partly Cloudy skies...that is if no more dust gets in the area. Then afterwards, we're gonna get wet again (which is a good thing for our lawns and water reservoirs) Thursday into Friday evening with a few storms possibly severe as both an upper level disturbance and a dry line move into this region.

Today is gonna be windy, but not windy as predicted yesterday. Winds will be gusting up to 25 MPH, which will only blow some leaves around outside. As far as thunderstorms are concerned, there is a possibility of severe weather in Central Texas ahead of a dry line and could possibly affect areas in the extreme western portion if North Texas. That severe weather event will become widespread in all of North Texas tomorrow afternoon.

There has been a lot of chaotic weather for our neighbors in the Texas Panhandle as well as Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma. What's the coincidence this week? The 7th anniversary of the Fort Worth tornado is just around the corner. Will we get a repeat performance from 7 years ago? The thunderstorms are forecasted to continue through early Saturday Morning followed by mostly to partly sunny skies, then by Tuesday...guess what? more showers and thunderstorms. And the NWS says we're gonna have another La Nina this Spring. PLEASE!!!

That means we're gonna have periods of showers and thunderstorms day in and day out, some possibly severe with large hail, damaging downburst winds and a few tornadoes being the additional threats. Additional 2-3 inches of rain is possible with isolated amounts of up to 4 inches. Again, good news for some of us, but bad news for those who are already in flood-proned areas.

There's already a development of severe thunderstorms south of the San Angelo area that had a history of producing rotation, which has prompted a Tornado Warning, but that has since then slightly weakened.
