Thursday’s Severe Thunderstorm Forecast map (Photo from www.Weather.com)
Meteorologists with the National Weather Service and www.Weather.com are predicting the chance again for severe weather in our region this afternoon and into the evening.
These storms have the potential to bring damaging wind gusts, hail, heavy rain and the chance of tornadoes, although with this complex storm system it is hard to predict how severe the weather will be, but the ingredients for thunderstorms are in place over our region.
Some meteorologists are calling this another severe thunderstorm and tornado outbreak that started yesterday, but so far only thunderstorm warnings and tornado watches have been issued with this system. There are currently no weather advisories issued for Northeast Texas, but we will monitor this activity as it approaches from our west.
There will be showers early in the day today, which could cool down our atmosphere and not allow the storms this afternoon to reach the severity that they could in warmer temperatures, but it is quite likely that it will storm this evening, however, too early to say how severe these storms will be. Keep an eye on the Extra! for updates as they are made available.

There is another slight chance of thunderstorm activity on Saturday, shown in the photo below. This prediction could change as the current system moves through. More to follow soon on Saturday’s forecast.
