00:00overall, this is going to impact a pretty large area. This storm, it's
00:03already kind of sent up in Arizona, but then it will strengthen as it moves
00:08east and pick ups and picks up some more moisture, bringing snow to the
00:13four corner states. And then we see some of that winter remix and then
00:16rain and thunderstorms from Corpus Christi all the way up towards
00:20Columbus, Ohio. Now, this whole area is not at risk for severe weather.
00:25It's a smaller area, but this whole area is going to see this storm in
00:28one form or another. So let's take a look at future radar and exactly how
00:32this plays out. We do start with things much more scattered as we look towards
00:36a Wednesday morning. But then, as we play this out, we start to see that
00:40line develop with the heavier downpours and those thunderstorms, the reds and
00:44yellows indicating that heavier rain. And then take a look at what happens
00:48as this moves north and east. We continue to see that heavier rain and
00:52kind of a smaller line of thunderstorms. Dallas, this could still impact your
00:57Thursday morning commute. So keep that in mind as you're making your plans for
01:00the rest of the week. But then this continues to work its way further north.
01:04And even as it works its way over, we're gonna see Jackson, Mississippi
01:08impacted New Orleans as we look towards early Friday morning. This is the area
01:13we're watching, though, for that severe weather. Everyone highlighted in yellow.
01:17This also gives you the timeline of when to expect that severe weather risk.
01:22Now, what are we expecting as far as those severe weather risk? Damaging
01:26wind gusts are most likely, as well as hail and flooding downpours. We cannot
01:31rule out isolated tornadoes, especially Thursday and Thursday night. It's just
01:35not the most likely form of severe weather that we're going to see. Here's
01:39the area that is at risk for some flash flooding, not just that area
01:43highlighted in yellow, but going much further north could see some of those
01:47heavier downpours in short periods of time that lead to that flash flooding.
01:52Here's the area that will see some rain and how much rain to expect in the
01:56darker green. That's where we're looking at 2 to 4 inches of rain with
02:00an Accuweather local storm X of seven inches. Overall, let's take a quick
02:04look at some temperatures for your Wednesday. We're in the sixties for
02:07Dallas, a little bit warmer than your historical average. We're in the fifties
02:11for Oklahoma City seventies for San Antonio. Again, a bit warmer than your
02:15historical average.
