00:00This is coming from the South Central US areas like Hot Springs, Arkansas, about to get some

00:04thunderstorms. Yeah, and like you just said, we're not seeing snow in the South Central. Yes,

00:09like we saw not that long ago. No, this is more of your traditional thunderstorms that we're already

00:13seeing starting on radar here. Dallas, you're just left with some scattered showers for now,

00:18but more is on the way. This is the entire area that's going to end up being impacted from

00:24snow in Albuquerque, Pueblo, Denver, some wintry mix in between, and then the rain and thunderstorms

00:30kind of the main event of this storm from Corpus Christi all the way up to Omaha, Columbus, Ohio,

00:35and most of West Virginia. I do want to point out we have several alerts already issued across that

00:40whole stretch really ahead of the worst of this storm. These are not active watches and warnings

00:46quite yet. They go into effect a little bit later, but it's really an anticipation of the worst of

00:52this storm. We have these flood watches in West Virginia and then stretching from Dallas all the

00:57way up to southern Indiana, and then we have high wind warnings out as well for western Texas there,

01:04including El Paso. Let's take a look at exactly what to expect with this storm here and take a

01:09look at future radar. So as we go through the overnight hours, that's when we start to see

01:13things really pick up with the heavier rain and thunderstorms for Dallas. Then take a look at what

01:17happens as we put this into motion. Really expands north, but stays put over Dallas, possibly

01:22impacting your morning commute. Then throughout the day, things weaken a bit and then strengthen

01:27right back up, ending up with a line of thunderstorms from Kentucky all the way down to

01:31the Gulf Coast there through Jackson and New Orleans as we go into the overnight hours into

01:36Friday. Storms out of here by Friday, but we do have the severe weather threat while the storm is

01:41here with all types of severe weather on the table.
