00:00Good afternoon from Childress, Texas, where we are tracking a significant severe weather threat today here in North Texas, the
00:07eastern Texas Panhandle, and southwestern Oklahoma, where an all-hazard severe weather threat is possible, and that includes large to
00:16very large damaging hail, tornadoes, and strong damaging winds.
00:21Now, we're expecting supercells to fire here in the Childress, Texas area, possibly off to the west along a dry
00:27line before those supercells move off to the east here through Childress, and then eventually across the Red River northeast
00:33into Oklahoma through the evening.
00:36We will be tracking these supercells as they fire, and they could early on produce tornadoes early on, but also
00:43that threat will ramp up as the storms progress to the east, as the evening progresses, the low-level winds
00:50ramp up, and that tornado threat will continue to enhance as those storms move off to the east.
00:56Now, we are talking about multiple supercells here being possible, again, eastern Texas, southwestern Oklahoma, and here in North Texas,
01:03but it does look like the bullseye, the area I will be targeting, is here, kind of centered around the
01:08Childress, Texas area, where a frontal area could cause those storms to have enhanced vorticity and to spin a little
01:15bit harder than some of the other storms, and increasing that tornado threat.
01:19So, we will be tracking the storms here across North Texas into western Oklahoma through the evening.
01:24For AccuWeather, I'm Aaron Jajak in Childress, Texas.
