We’ve got a significant weather change unfolding later today through the overnight hours. A few storms could be strong. Please do not be overly concerned by a severe weather outbreak this evening. It’s not going to happen. It may be a different story out west of Highway 281 where quarter to half-dollar size hail may fall from the sky.
We’ve been enjoying some nice weather this week. Yesterday we topped out at 73°. This is the fourth 70-plus-degree day we’ve experienced. And some of you might kiss that 70° mark this afternoon, depending on if these clouds mix out for us.
A very strong storm system is heading in from the west. It will spark the first round of showers and storms out west of Highway 281 this afternoon; these will press toward the East before dinner time. Small hail and gusty wind will be the threats as they come through the area into the early evening hours.
The main wave of showers and storms will arrive after midnight tonight through daybreak tomorrow. It’ll be a noisy night while you’re sleeping with bouts of heavy rain, small hail, and 40 mph wind gusts in areas. Before all is said and done, just about everybody should see at least an inch of rain with isolated higher totals possible in areas, especially east of Dallas and McKinney. Morning lows will dip into the mid-50s.
