			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for parts of north central Texas, including the DFW metroplex, expiring at 10pm.<br />
Thunderstorms are developing inside a destabilizing air mass along a cold front moving eastward. The storms arrival now brings it through the region within the next 2 or so hours, or before 5:30 to 6:00pm. Hail remains the primary risk, but severe winds are also a possibility. Tornado threats still remain low.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>February 11, 2010 broke the all-time snowfall record for any calendar day and any 24-hour period with 11.2 inches of snow, as of midnight. This surpasses the previous daily record of 1.4 inches on Feb 11, 1988. This also exceeds our 24-hour record of 7.5 inches on Feb 17, 1978 and Feb 25, 1924. Lastly this breaks our greatest calendar-day snowfall total of 7.8 inches from January 15, 1964 and January 14, 1917.</p>
<p>Thursday&#8217;s snowfall has brought our seasonal snowfall total to 14.4 inches, the 3rd snowiest winter on record for DFW. Had there been no other snowfall events this entire season, our winter would have still made the top five snowiest, wow! Below are snowfall totals reported as of 11:30pm 2/11/10.</p>
<p><a href="http://watchingtheskies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/021110-graphicast6.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2071" title="021110-graphicast6" src="http://watchingtheskies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/021110-graphicast6.gif" alt="021110-graphicast6" width="516" height="363" /></a></p>
<p>The impacts from this snowfall will be felt quite heavily the morning of Friday February 12th with heavy snowfall accumulations on area roads, plus icing on roadways and bridges. Afternoon temperatures for Friday have been revised downward to 38 degrees. This means snow will melt significantly but not all of it will melt before re-freezing overnight through Saturday. Expect icing conditions Saturday morning as well. Saturday high temps will reach the 50s and any remaining snow will melt off.</p>
<p>Additionally, I walked around and snapped some great pictures with my camera this evening. I have attached the updated gallery below.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://watchingtheskies.com/category/uncategorized/"></a> Several Flash Flood Warnings are issued for Tarrant, Denton, Collin, Grayson, Cooke and other counties around the area. A band of very heavy rainfall has fallen creating flooding conditions most notably around Fort Worth where several high water rescues have been taking place after motorists get stranded in high waters. Additionally the Trinity river at Dallas is surpassing flood stage at this time, and is forecast to exceed flood stage by 4 feet. At 34 feet several low water crossings will flood. This heavy rainfall will continue for a few more hours at least until the cold front passes through Thursday before sunrise. The rain will likely come to an end sometime around 3am to 5am I am thinking. Until then, plan for continuous heavy rain and flash flooding potential.</p>

Here is the storm total rainfall amounts so far, this is since 1:21am Wednesday morning. Blue areas are reaching up to 5.8 inches of rainfall. The green polygons indicate current Flash Flood Warnings, the green and blue FFL icons indicate reports of Flash Flooding including road closures and high water rescues.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Watch for the DFW Metroplex including Frisco, from 1pm Thursday through 7pm Friday. The area&#8217;s waterways and soil is already very saturated, plus when you factor in the upcoming forecasts, conditions begin to scream Flash Flood. The weather service compared the forecast event to events that happened October 14-15 2007 and October 18-19 2002. Both events saw abnormally high amounts of rainfall resulting in flooding, high water rescues, stranded vehicles etc. The weather service is forecasting a possibility of 4 inches of rainfall accumulation over our area.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This likely affects very few of us, but probably set off the weather radios for those who have them. While composing this email, a second Severe Thunderstorm Warning was issued for Denton County, covering the southern half including The Colony and the Denton county portion of Frisco. These storms are warned mainly due to severe hail. The angle and direction these storms are traveling make it difficult to properly see wind velocities but there is a good chance of severe winds in these storms as well. Now is a good time to bring in any lightweight patio furnature.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The SPC in Oklahoma has gone ahead and issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for our area, expiring at 11pm local time. Today&#8217;s threats have changed and has become mainly a hail and wind threat, while the tornado threat is now reduced to near-zero. Severe storms have developed over south central Oklahoma dumping severe-sized hail (larger than 0.75&#8243;) along a pre-frontal trough. The cold front is expected to overtake this trough later todayand shift the storm threat from large hail to more of a high wind event. Not sure on exact timing, but previous estimates of 6 to 7pm for ETA around Frisco still seems to hold up. Ill send more updates as I can.</p>
