The Storm Prediction Center continues to show areas of Slight to Enhanced Risk of severe storm development this afternoon across parts of north and central Texas. Â Isolated storm development is expected to begin after 3pm along the dryline which is expected to drift east to a roughly Vernon down to Abilene then down towards Brownwood. Â Instability levels will support the development of isolated (supercell) storm structures which will carry the threat of very large hail, winds in excess of 70mph and possibly a few tornadoes. Â The storms are projected to eventually congeal into a squall line which will march east across central and north Texas towards the I-35 corridor by late evening. Â Individual cells will move northeast, but the line itself will head directly east. Â Large hail and damaging winds will be the greatest threat with the squall line this evening and overnight. Â It’s expected that the tornado threat will decrease somewhat after dark, but will still remain a possibility. Â Overall, the greatest potential for significant tornadoes will remain up into Oklahoma, Kansas and southern Nebraska today..but that does not mean north or central Texas is completely out of the woods. Â Residents across all of north and central Texas will need to remain very weather aware this evening. Â Have local radio or TV on and monitor conditions as we get into the afternoon and evening hours. Â Have a way to receive weather warnings if any are issued for your particular location. Â Both David and I will be out chasing today and will update if cell data permits.
