DFW->ETX->NWLA Severe Weather Today 5/8/19

Have some big-time bowing starting to occur on the line heading toward DFW. Along with some broad rotation. I would try to get to work a little early today. Don't want to be caught in this.




The bulleye today for severe weather (Hail/Flood/Tornadoes) is just east of DFW through ETX moving into NWLA later on.


Edit: Discussion this morning

.SHORT TERM...
/Today and Tonight/

A quasi linear convective system (QLCS), currently forming just
off the Caprock, will move east across the region today, bringing
a potential for damaging winds, hail and even a brief tornado or
two. Periods of heavy rainfall will also be likely which may
result in localized flooding. However, the progressive nature of
the line should keep the threat of widespread flash flooding
relatively low. The convective allowing models are falling into
fairly close agreement with regards to timing and placement of the
main line with storms reaching the western zones before sunrise,
the I-35 corridor between 8 AM and 10 AM, and the eastern zones
late morning through early afternoon. A few strong to severe
storms will also affect the western zones prior to the arrival of
the main line with damaging winds the primary hazard. These
leading storms should weaken as they reach the US 281 corridor
when they encounter stronger convective inhibition. Once the main
line of storms moves through, clouds should begin to decrease from
west to east, allowing temperatures to warm into the upper 70s
and lower 80s. The only exception will be the eastern zones where
a later arrival of storms and extensive cloud cover will keep high
temperatures in the middle 70s.

Storm chances will linger this evening, mainly in the east. The
remainder of the forecast area will likely remain dry through the
overnight hours until a cold front arrives across the northwest
zones in the predawn hours Thursday. Overnight temperatures will
range from the middle 50s across the northwest to the lower 70s in
the southeast zones.
