Slight Risk of Severe Thunderstorms on Friday

The Storm Prediction Center has outlined the Northwestern half of our region under a slight risk of severe thunderstorms on Friday, generally along and west/northwest of a Sherman, DFW Airport, Stephenville; as well as along and north of Eastland and Abilene. An active weather pattern is setting up from Friday through the weekend as an upper-level low moves across the southern and central plains, bring scattered thunderstorms. Some could turn severe, especially in and around the slight risk area with large hail, and damaging winds. An isolated tornado or 2 is also possible, but uncertainties such as the timing remain. Flash flooding doesn't appear to be a threat at this point, but if you see any flooding, Turn Around, Don't Drown. If a Tornado Warning is issued, take cover in a sturdy structure. NEVER open any and all windows as it may cause severe and possibly fatal results. If no shelter is found, lie flat in the lowest ditch.

As we continue to look at this possible activity in the next 48-hours, check back for further updates or stay tuned to your local media outlets (including NOAA All-Hazards Radio) for additional information.
