***Important Update on TS Beryl***

From the NHC
"Beryl is currently in an environment of about 10 to 15 kt of
southerly vertical wind shear and surrounded by dry air, especially
on the south side of the circulation. However, the storm is expected
to move into an area of decreasing wind shear, and the global models
show the moisture increasing near the core. In fact, the SHIPS
model shows the shear decreasing to very low levels (less than 5 kt)
just prior to Beryl reaching the coast. These conditions combined
with a diffluent upper-level wind pattern should support notable
strengthening just prior to landfall. In fact, the hurricane
regional models HAFS-A, HAFS-B, HWRF, and HMON all show only gradual
strengthening during the next 12-24 hours, followed by significant
intensification just hours before Beryl makes landfall. Based on
the guidance and large-scale factors, there is a chance of rapid
intensification if Beryl becomes better vertically aligned, and it
is possible that it strengthens more between the 24- and 36-h
predictions."

SUMMARY...A broken linear cluster of thunderstorms will continue to
move east-southeast across north-central and north Texas this
afternoon into the early evening. The stronger downdrafts will be
capable of severe outflow winds (60-70 mph). A few of the stronger
thunderstorms will potentially yield a large hail risk.

The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 35
statute miles north and south of a line from 40 miles west northwest
of Abilene TX to 50 miles east southeast of Dallas TX. For a
complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU3).

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
tornadoes.

Another complex of storms is developing out West and will be sweeping through all of North Texas. For the DFW area, the main threat will be Flash Flooding (some significant). A few storms may produce up to 65 mph and up to quarter size hail. The leading edge of this line should approach the DFW airport around 3am(earlier to the West and later to the East).

I will be watching this complex closely as a few models do advertise the potential for more widespread damaging winds but my current thinking is that the atmosphere has been worked over so much that this scenario seems unlikely. With that being said, mother nature has thrown us several curve balls over the past seven days so it does require close attention.

I will have updates if i start to see intensification as it continues to move E/SE. Stay safe out there and please TURN AROUND DONT DROWN! Don't put your life at risk and the lives of First Responders at risk to save you a few minutes. Find another way, your loved ones will thank you!

Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of North Texas until 7am.
