The Severe Weather Threat Continues...

The dryline is beginning to take shape west of the Abilene area. Moisture does continue to flow from the south out ahead of this feature. Thunderstorm initiation will probably begin along the dryline over the next couple of hours and I wouldn’t be surprised to see us put into a Tornado Watch in the next hour or so. The more sun we get out ahead of the dryline, the more likely severe storms will be.

This afternoon and evening’s storms will likely become severe to our west and begin their march eastward. However a cold front, now dropping into northwestern Oklahoma will eventually catch up to the dryline and we will see heavy thunderstorms overnight as they move into the area. The main threats tonight look to be very large hail, strong winds, and heavy rain. However, I can’t rule out an isolated tornado especially ahead of the dryline later this afternoon and also with the main system as it pivots through the area overnight.

We will continue to monitor the situation and let you know when the watch has been issued for the Denton area.
