Strong to severe thunderstorms are forecast to develop later this afternoon and move rapidly south and east through the Four State Region through the late evening hours. Damaging wind gusts will be the primary threat, followed by a large hail threat. An isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.
The timing of severe thunderstorms producing mainly damaging wind gusts is best described in this graphic. The storms should begin north and west of the I-30 Corridor this afternoon and rapidly move south and east through the evening hours.
The weather will go downhill later today, especially this afternoon into this evening as strong to severe thunderstorms are forecast in advance of a cold front. Highs today will range in the mid 80s to lower 90s.
We will be entering a wet period beginning Today and continuing during periods through at least the upcoming Weekend. While rainfall could become excessive across portions of the region by Thursday, rainfall accumulations through the weekend could become excessive across some locations.
This graphic displays record high and low temperatures as well as the normal high and low temperatures for today. Record precipitation for today is also displayed.
