I know a lot of folks are concerned about the weekend, and rightly so since the atmosphere across Texas and Oklahoma will be quite volatile. But the math continues to show that the immediate DFW area is not in a good position to pick up the worst of the severe weather, although it will be close so we are not out of the woods quite yet. Saturday, the severe weather will be to our west, and Sunday it should be to our east. Our best chance of storms in the Metroplex will be Sunday morning, the least unstable part of the day. This will help lower - but perhaps not totally eliminate - our severe weather threat. The Stat Method is calling for a chance showers and regular storms Sunday morning as the cap finally goes away. But I am aware of the talk about a possible major outbreak in the Metroplex itself, and frankly it could still happen. It wouldnt be the first time the Stat Method has busted. But at least as of right now, the math does not support tornadic or particularly damaging weather for the immediate DFW area Sunday morning. Severe weather will be widespread, however, to our west and north Saturday night and then once again to our east Sunday afternoon and evening. But again, I MUST emphasize this could change, so stay tuned! If for any reason the storms hold off until Sunday afternoon when our cap will be altogether absent, it will be a completely different ball game.
