00:00Good afternoon from Childress, Texas here on what is expected to be a very busy afternoon and evening for severe
00:05weather in the region.
00:06We are sitting right in the target area for us here today as we are expecting storms to initiate here
00:12through the evening hours and then trailing to the east overnight tonight.
00:16We are currently sitting just north of the warm front, which is kind of the boundary we are expecting to
00:21see initiate storms here later this afternoon into the evening.
00:24That front, the difference between the cooler air mass where we're in, overcast in temperatures in the mid-60s, versus
00:30a muggier air mass in temps in the upper 70s down to the south.
00:34And that juicier air mass will settle in here, and that's where we'll see the showers and thunderstorms develop.
00:38Isolated large hail, probably some in the damaging department over baseball size possible.
00:44Damaging winds, and of course the threat for tornadoes will likely ramp up around and just after sunset.
00:49Those storms will eventually kind of congeal, work their way as a cluster across the state of Oklahoma.
00:53Leading us to Oklahoma City, where we'll likely bunk down for the evening, setting us up for what is going
00:58to be another busy, more widespread severe weather day on Friday.
01:02Reporting for Childress, for AccuWeather, I'm meteorologist Tony Laubach.
