Storms taking forever to arrive

We've been tracking storms to our west all day, but they haven't reached the Metroplex just yet.  It's looking like this will be an "after midnight" storm event.  Severe storms usually diminish in intensity the later it gets once the sun sets, but it was near 90 today...and the atmosphere is unstable.  That means we could have storms producing damaging winds, hail and even an isolated tornado can't be ruled out.

Before going to bed tonight, make sure your NOAA weather radio is turned on.  It will alert you to severe weather in your area, so you can take cover.

Flash flooding is also a possibility, and the National Weather Service has issued flash flood watches remain through 7pm tomorrow.

The rain will be very heavy during rush hour in the morning, but it should end by noon...and much, much colder air arrives.  It will be in the 50s all day tomorrow with NW winds 10-20mph.  I'm wearing a COAT to the State Fair in the afternoon!

Tune in at 9pm for your forecast on CH 33.

Flash flood watch already in effect for TOMORROW

Yup, a bunch more rain is heading our way.  A cold front approaches from the west, and moisture from the Gulf of Mexico as well as Hurricane Rick remnants from the Pacific move into north Texas.  We could see 2 to 3 inches of rain tomorrow, so take the time to turn off your sprinkler systems!  There's a business across the street from us that runs its sprinklers every single night, whether it's raining or not...what a waste of water, plus the lawn looks terrible.  Don't be like that business :)
The weather should be great for the weekend, though, so if you're headed to the Fort Worth Alliance Airshow, it's going to be sunny.  Maybe I'll see you there.
Get your forecast every night at 5:30 and 9pm on Ch.33 .
