Severe Thunderstorms Coming Back With Widespread Rains Likely

As heard on WFAA-TV: A major pattern change is coming early next week with a southwesterly flow off the Baja Peninsula in California. With that pattern change, will be a center of low pressure following the jet stream over North Texas. When this also happens, we will see a cold front and a dry line smash together over North Texas making the "Triple Point", which is a major player in severe weather outbreaks. Now, it's way too early to tell if there will be a major severe weather outbreak in place Tuesday - Wednesday timeframe. We should know by Friday or Saturday.
*5:20 pm Update* The timing seems to be on Tuesday Night meaning that the storms will come through when they have reached their peak and will start weakening but it could change. But the math is still saying a triple point will form in North Texas. A moderate risk may be needed if the conditions are there Tuesday.
