Thunderstorms have been firing along a front to the south and southwest of the Dallas/Fort Worth area Sunday afternoon. The storms are expected to continue until after sundown.
All of this activity is moving to the southwest due to a high pressure ridge centered near San Angelo. There have been numerous severe thunderstorm warnings generated Sunday afternoon but none in the immediate North Texas area.
Models are showing some scattered activity for Monday and Tuesday afternoon with a ridge setting right on top of North Texas that shouldn’t have much chance of causing any problems.
Temperatures will begin warming up Monday with highs in the upper 90’s for the next three to four days and lows in the mid 70’s.
By Thursday a cold front will approach from Oklahoma and bring another chance of rain our way. At this time it looks like there will be a 20% chance of rain for both days.
Bill is just barely a hurricane, 75 mile per hour winds and will continue a northeastward track toward Newfoundland, Canada. Currently the storm is 385 miles southwest of Cape Race. Some Buoy reports of near 40 foot seas were recorded earlier today near Nova Scotia, Canada.
