Texans, severe weather season is gearing up to give us a show through the weekend! First round of storms will begin Friday morning through about noon. Plentiful moisture already in place, interacts with a eastward moving dryline and kicks off some strong thunderstorms. The worst of the storms will actually remain around the Mississippi river valley away from us. In our area, the primary risks will be the standard large hail and damaging straight line winds. I do not see a notable tornado risk for Friday at this time.
While the dryline may move through the metroplex around noon, thunderstorm chances will persist throughout the entire day. Thunderstorms will still be possible throughout the night Friday and all day Saturday. Storm chances should evaporate Sunday and make for a good weather day. Beyond Sunday, the forecast is a bit difficult and there may or may not be additional storms on Monday. I will try to send updates out as needed later.
