Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop along and ahead of an incoming cold front this afternoon and evening. The primary hazard today will be hail potentially greater than baseballs. There will also be the potential for damaging winds, a tornado or two, and isolated instances of flash flooding (particularly in urban areas).
Another storm system will bring widespread rain to North and Central Texas Wednesday through Friday this week. While isolated thunderstorms will be possible, severe weather is not a concern at this time. Some areas may receive heavy rainfall, especially on Friday. When all is said and done by Friday night, many will see 2-3 inches of rain. Fortunately, things dry out this weekend with below average highs ranging from the upper 60s into the mid 70s.
A strong supercell moving through Wise and Parker counties on the evening of April 25th produced two tornadoes, one in each county. Here are the preliminary results of the survey. One fatality was confirmed with the Wise County tornado. Another fatality occurred in Parker County, but was associated with very strong RFD winds and not the tornado. The information is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the events.
