Storm Chances Increasing for North/Central TX this Morning

Good morning,
I doubt many folks are actually up this late reading our weather information, so I’ll keep this update short. Simply put, an upper level disturbance that we expected to move across portions of South Texas later this morning is taking more of a northern track. Even though surface temperatures across North Texas are in the 40′s, this layer of stable air actually extends only up to about 4,000 feet. Above the stable layer, the atmosphere is actually favorable for the development of strong thunderstorms capable of producing large hail. These storms, known as elevated storms, will likely form as this upper level disturbance moves over the region. The most likely time frame for storms to develop will be after 3 AM and through the mid- to late morning hours with the time depending on where you are located in the risk area.
The main threat with the most severe storms will be hail up to the size of golf balls although that is the high-end spectrum with this threat. In all likelihood the strongest storms will produce hail up to quarter size. Even storms that are not severe may produce small hail, in some cases, lots of small hail. Storm coverage is expected to be scattered, so not everyone will get hit this morning. Don’t be surprised to get woken up by a boomer this morning. As such, the Storm Prediction Center has expanded the severe weather risk significantly compared to the previous outlook. The threat for damaging winds is low, but not out of the question. Tornadoes are not expected. Stay tuned for the latest information!
