"Confidence is high regarding the threat of severe weather across Texas and Oklahoma as a vigorous upper-level storm system approaches from the west. Abundant moisture will begin streaming into portions of eastern Texas and Oklahoma today and Thursday ahead of an approaching storm system. By mid-day Friday, a well-defined north-to-south oriented dry line is expected have pushed as far east as Wichita Falls and just east of San Angelo. The dry line will continue to push eastward during the afternoon and evening hours Friday, triggering the development of the storms.
IMPACT AREA: At present, the greatest impact zone appears to be Central and North Texas (including the DFW Metroplex), as well as southern portions of Oklahoma.
TIMING: Thunderstorms will likely form at, or just before, midday Friday along the developing dry line and spread into North Central Texas (and the DFW area) during the early evening. The storms will progress eastward across the remainder of the State during the overnight hours, when the threat for severe weather will begin to diminish.
THREAT: The greatest threat appears to be damaging straight-line winds and large hail, although the threat of tornado occurrence exists. Though widespread flash flooding is not expected, given the amount of ground moisture already present in the threat area, flash flooding is possible in heavier thunderstorms"
