Stay Alert to Severe Weather Threat Through Tonight

FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ..

WE'RE STILL EXPECTING A WIDESPREAD OUTBREAK OF SEVERE WEATHER. THE KRBC WEATHER TEAM IS MONITORING THE SITUATION AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO THROUGH MID-DAY TOMORROW - THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT SHOULD BE THE GREATEST THREAT TIME FOR OUR AREA. BELOW IS A DISCUSSION FROM THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER ..

TORNADO WATCH WILL BE NEEDED SOON FOR PARTS OF SW INTO CENTRAL AND N TX. EARLY AFTERNOON SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A WARM FRONT CONTINUING TO SPREAD NWD...AND CURRENTLY EXTENDED ENEWD FROM THE MAF AREA TO THE ERN PART OF THE DAL/FTW METROPLEX INTO SERN OK AND SRN AR. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATED CLOUDS HAVE CLEARED ALONG AND S OF WRN EXTENT OF THE WARM FRONT.

ADDITIONAL SURFACE HEATING AND INCREASING CONVERGENCE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY PER OBJECTIVE ANALYSES SUGGESTS NEW TSTM DEVELOPMENT WILL BE LIKELY BETWEEN 1:00 PM AND 3:00PM AS SURFACE BASED INHIBITION CONTINUES TO WEAKEN. MODERATE INSTABILITY AND STRONG DEEP LAYER AND LOW LEVEL SHEAR VALUES WILL BE SUPPORTIVE OF TORNADIC SUPERCELLS.
