Wind Advisory in Effect Until 7pm. Also details about the Apr 9-10 severe weather outbreak...

Wind will be strong enough today to meet wind advisory criteria so the NWS has issued a Wind Advisory until 7pm that includes the Denton area. Sustained winds will be in the 20-30mph range, but some gusts could reach 40mph. Be careful and watch for blowing debris as you’re out and about today.

I mentioned yesterday that there is a slight chance of thunderstorms tomorrow. I did a quick analysis of surface conditions to our south and into the Gulf and find that moisture return is in progress. I also looked at a few computer model forecast and they are showing the front may be coming through later than originally thought. With the possible delay of the front we have more time for some quality moisture to make it into the area. The Storms Prediction Center has us in a “Slight Risk” of severe storms for later tomorrow into the evening hours. Due to the strength of the cap/lid in the upper atmosphere I would say that mainly scattered storms should form along the front as it moves through. There could be some isolated severe thunderstorms with the main threat being hail and high winds. I’ll post more on this as additional data continues to feed into my office.
