The National Weather Service has pre-issued a Flash Flood Watch for 32 counties from Temple to Gainesville along both sides of Interstate 35.  The Flash Flood Watch is generally centered on the DFW area although the highest predicted rainfall totals are in Northeast Texas. 
Rainfall totals are expected to be between 2 and 5 inches but 3 to 6-inch rainfall totals are possible anywhere in DFW with 5 to 6-inch totals along broad swaths of I-30 and I-20 between Tyler and the Louisiana border.  A WATCH means it is likely that heavy rainfall or flooding will cause a threat to life and/or property in the watch-area- especially on streets and freeways.   
Anytime Sunday night, showers and thunderstorms could break out in this area, but the most likely timeframe for severe storms and heavy rains is from Monday morning through Tuesday night. 
This will be a prolonged period of threatening weather with repeated outbreaks of thunderstorms.  We can also expect potentially-damaging wind gusts of 50-70 mph, large hail and frequent lightning. 
Prepare NOW for this severe weather event by reviewing your storm safety-plans at home, work and school.  KNOW where you will take shelter if threatening weather approaches.  The best storm-shelters are on the lowest floor of your home away from windows- possibly a pantry or bathroom.  The National Weather Service and the American Red Cross both have many good resources with helpful information on surviving threatening weather.   
Whether you keep track of the weather by radio, TV or internet, remember, a power outage may limit your ability to hear critical warnings or listen to live updates on storms. 
Check your supply of batteries for radios and flashlights. 
If you have a NOAA Weather Radio, make sure it is turned on and set to “Alert.”

The Storm Prediction Center has placed North Texas at risk of severe weather Monday and possibly Tuesday as well. 
A massive storm system approaching the Pacific Northwest today will be just west of North Texas by Monday.  It has the potential to produce the full range of severe weather including wind damage, hail damage, lightning and especially flooding from DFW into East and Northeast Texas Monday night through Wednesday morning. 
The storm system could also produce multiple or possibly proloned power outages.  Plan now for severe weather next week.  If it should happen to miss us, it’s only a matter of time before we’ll have another threat of springtime severe weather.

cloudy, breezy, humid and warmer-than-normal conditions will be the rule across North Texas through Sunday. 
Looking ahead…a massive Pacific storm system will be approaching our area early next week with the full range of severe weather potential here Monday through Wednesday.  Please use this advance warning to prepare for a prolonged outbreak of heavy rain and strong storms.  There is a possibility that the parent storm system will weaken or miss Texas, but we can’t afford to take anything for granted this time of year.

An upper-level storm system will meander between the four-corners area and El Paso today, tomorrow and Saturday, spreading outbreaks of rain and thunderstorms across much of Texas, Oklahoma, the Plains and the Ozarks.  There is a slight risk of severe storms with large hail, damaging winds and deadly lightning from daybreak through late tonight.  It will be windy and noticeably cooler behind a strong cold front tonight and tomorrow.  An additional disturbance could set off more heavy rains in North and Northeast Texas Friday night through Saturday night.  Rainfall totals could range from 2″ in Fort Worth to 5″ in Tyler today through Sunday.

The Storm Prediction Center has placed Central, Northeast and North Texas under a slight risk of severe thunderstorms on Thursday. 
An upper level storm system approaching from the southwest and a cold front approaching from the north will converge on North Texas Thursday night in a warm, moist unstable Gulf airmass. 
All the necessary ingredients will be in place for a large-scale severe weather outbreak Thursday and Thursday night.  How strong each ingredient is and how each interacts with each other will determine the nature and severity of the tornado, hail or flooding threat. 

Use today and tomorrow to prepare for potential power outages between Thursday and Sunday.  Check batteries for radio and flashlights and re-establish your action plan if severe weather approaches our area.

2.  Where will I take shelter;  at work, school, home, on the road? 

3.  Where will I get updated information on storm movements and damage in the event of a power outage?

Rainy weather is moving in earlier than previously forecast and may linger longer.  The parent storm system is most of a thousand miles southwest of DFW in the Sonoran desert southeast of Yuma, Arizona.  But it has triggered widespread lift and moisture that is spreading across Texas from southwest to northeast.  Heaviest rains will remain well south of I-20 but occasional showers will be in the DFW area from this morning through Saturday afternoon. 

Today, Rainy, 60/50
Saturday, Rain ending late, Breezy, 53/37

Mixed precip is ending from west to east across the DFW area. 
West of Fort Worth, at Weatherford in Parker County, about 1″ of snow was observed on grassy areas and rooftops, but temperatures remained at or slightly above freezing at 4:30 a.m. 
Bridges, overpasses and flyovers may have a few slick spots west of Fort Worth this morning, but most locales are simply wet, as the mixed precip melted on contact with the surface.  Near freezing temperatures will begin to rise shortly after daybreak.  Scattered showers and storms are possible anywhere in North and Northeast Texas through noon today. 

Today, Rain ending, 50/40
Tuesday, Mostly Sunny, 62/54

Although temperatures are expected to remain generally above freezing overnight, areas of rain, sleet and snow is moving into the DFW area this evening.  Minor accumulations are possible as close as Weatherford, Decatur, Denton and Sherman/Denison.  Freezing precip will likely be observed in the DFW area but should not accumulate.  A low-level jet of warm Gulf moisture will be arriving ‘just in time’ to stabilize temperatures between midnight and daybreak.

Here is the latest from forecasters at the National Weather Service:

“An upper level disturbance will bring widespread precipitation to the region beginning this afternoon and lasting until Monday morning. Areas north of a Lampasas to Cleburne to Emory line are likely to see a mix of rain…sleet and snow this evening and into the early morning hours Monday. Areas north of an Eastland to Mineral Wells to Sherman line are likely to accumulate up to an inch of snow and a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for these locations. Temperatures will quickly warm Monday…ending the threat of winter precip. There are still uncertainties regarding the exact amounts and how far south the winter precipitation will actually reach. Residents should check back later today for a fine-tuned forecast.” 

We are fortunate that upper level temperatures and moisture are cold enough to support mostly snow or sleet instead of ice, which would lead to excess weight and stress on power lines.  One other blessing is that it’s not nearly as cold as it was just over a year ago in early February, which placed stress on the overall power grid.  But if sleet and snow fall in North Texas, it is inevitable that more than a few accidents could strike power poles near streets and highways.  And it is always a good idea to be ready for temporary outages as a matter of routine.

No doubt you’ve already fealized how brisk and chilly it is this Saturday morning. 
The weakest southwestern edge of an Arctic front, bringing bitter cold to much of the nation east of the Mississippi today, is slowly backing up through the northeastern third of the state.
The cold air will begin to roll slowly east tomorrow (Sunday) but temperatures may be near freezing tomorrow night when the next upper level disturbance begins to spread precipitation from the Panhandle and West Texas eastward into North Texas.  Colder areas near the Red River are mostly likely to get a light coating of snow or ice but, depending on the breaks, we might see a mix of precip here in DFW Sunday night, before the warmer, wetter airmass from the west displaces the sub-freezing temperatures in our area early Monday morning.  There is a narrow window of winter-weather-threat and this forecast has a great deal of uncertainty with it.

Here’s today’s 5-Day Forecast for DFW:

Today, Sunny, Windy, Cold, 42/25
Sunday,  Cloudy, Rain late, 45/34* (too close for comfort)
Monday, Rain, ending by PM, 53/38
Tuesday,  Sunny, 64/49

Rain is ending from west to east across the area this morning.
