THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH TEXAS.

.DAY ONE...
THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH LARGE
HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS TO 60 MPH AND BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL NORTHWEST OF
A STEPHENVILLE...DALLAS...SULPHUR SPRINGS LINE TONIGHT. SCATTERED
STORMS SHOULD INITIATE ALONG THE WEST TEXAS DRYLINE BY MID
AFTERNOON...THEN MOVE EAST ACROSS THOSE PORTIONS OF NORTH TEXAS
NAMELY ALONG AND NORTH OF I-20...WHERE WIND SHEAR ALOFT AND
INSTABILITY SHOULD BE THE BEST. ISOLATED STORMS COULD DEVELOP AS FAR
SOUTH AS LAMPASAS... WACO... AND ATHENS...THOUGH A CAPPING INVERSION
ALOFT WILL BE STRONGER ACROSS THAT REGION.

AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE CURRENTLY OVER SOUTHERN ARIZONA AND A COLD
FRONT CURRENTLY OVER NORTHERN KANSAS...ARE EXPECTED TO APPROACH NORTH
TEXAS THIS EVENING. THIS SYSTEM WILL INTERACT WITH AMPLE INSTABILITY
FROM DAYTIME HEATING AND A WEAKENING CAPPING INVERSION ALOFT BY THIS
EVENING FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS...MOST NUMEROUS AND POSSIBLY
SEVERE ALONG AND NORTH OF I-20 TONIGHT.


.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...
ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT NORTH TEXAS LATE SUNDAY
INTO MEMORIAL DAY. MANY UNCERTAINTIES STILL EXIST ON EVOLUTION...
TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THIS SYSTEM. AT THIS TIME...SEVERE WEATHER
COULD BE POSSIBLE NAMELY BETWEEN I-20 AND THE RED RIVER...WHERE WIND
SHEAR ALOFT AND LIFT WOULD BE THE STRONGEST. WE URGE PERSON
VACATIONING OR TRAVELING ACROSS NORTH TEXAS TO CONTINUE MONITORING
FUTURE FORECASTS AND OUTLOOKS ON THIS DEVELOPING WEATHER SITUATION
LATER THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.
