Dallas weather: November 1 morning forecast

Well, dense fog advisories are in place across a good part of the state of Texas and parts of southern and central Oklahoma this morning from the panhandle through pretty much all of East Texas. And of course, that does include a handful of our counties here in North Texas, mostly those set up on the east side of I-45. So we're looking at Rockwall, Kaufman, Hunt counties and then off to the east. While we don't have those advisories in place for the metroplex or areas to the west, I would still advise you use caution as you hit the roads this morning because everybody, moisture rich, we've got low clouds moving in that is reducing visibility to some extent across most of North Texas. So take it slow out there. For those that are under that advisory, it is set to expire this morning at 10 o'clock. Look right now at current conditions. You can see all that fog building in across downtown. Again, low clouds, not enough to warrant the advisory per se. Here in the Metroplex, but you can see what I mean when I say, hey, take your time out there as you start off your Sunday. I'll look at temperatures. We've managed to cool down to 60 on the dot for both DFW and our Fort Worth sensor. Love Field, though, still at 64. Take a look at our dew point. It matches our temperature. We are fully saturated. We've got a lot of moisture in the air, calm winds on hand, which is why so many of us are finding fog this morning. We look at radar. No rain moving in, really, but you can see, excuse me, the clouds moving in from the far west. Western parts of the state, that is the front edge of our next system, already stirring up a lot of activity across the Four Corners region and areas to the west. It's everything from rain, rumbles and some snow showers to the more mountainous regions of the west. That is our next low pressure system that going to swing in over the next 24 hours or so. Really, it's as we get into Monday night that I think we see the bulk of the activity. Here's how that plays out for us. Low pressure, again, already creating kind of a mess across the four corners. That swings in, really bisecting the country. We are more focused on what drapes to the south. It's a cold front. That boundary will move steadily across the state from west to east and create a chance to find a line of thunderstorms. In terms of coverage, again, the time to watch. Monday evening into the pre-sunrise hours of your Tuesday. Even ahead of it, though, I do think we could find some afternoon pop-ups Monday. 20% coverage, though, most of us. We're looking ahead to Monday evening. 60% coverage for the time being. I could certainly see myself pumping that up a little bit as that front gets closer to us. Then by Tuesday, 30% coverage as the system clears off to the east, and then we're quiet from there. But we've got to get through likely some strong storms along the way. Now, it's not a widespread threat for strong to severe weather, but there is one in place, and it's really everywhere that low-pressure system will swing and everywhere that cold front will drape to the south under some sort of risk Monday night into Tuesday. So that's from the southern and central plains down to... All the way from the Red River down to the Big Bend of Texas, we've got a large area encompassed by that front, and this is what we're looking at here at home. Everywhere you see yellow, that's a two out of five slight risk. Everywhere else, it's green. It's a one out of five risk, meaning we have on the lower end of the risk here, but we could potentially be seeing some strong storms develop along the leading edge of that front until it clears out. We're watching for all severe hazards here, so damaging winds becoming more straight line as the front arrives, frequent lightning, heavy rain, isolated pocket change hail, and even a potential for some rotation as that boundary moves into the area. Once it clears out, we will shut off the tap. The severe risk comes to an end. But until that point, again, we're watching for all severe hazards. One of those also being the potential to see some brief flooding as we get heavy rain moving in. Right now, models favoring the Metroplex and areas off to the east to see the heavier bands of rain rolling in. But quick downpour could produce, again, a couple. Inch, inch and a half, two inches as we move through that time frame. So something to be aware of. Again, I reminded you yesterday. If you didn't do it, do it today. Download that Fox 4 weather app so we can keep you up to date all the way through those overnight hours and into your Tuesday. Now, here's the good part of the front. Once it clears out, we look really nice and seasonable. So it actually does bring some cooler weather along with it. Now, today, tomorrow certainly does not feel seasonable, does not feel like November, but we get there eventually. By Tuesday afternoon, I've got us sitting in the low- We will see a little bit of a climb, a little bit of those increase in the afternoon highs through the middle parts of the week before a secondary boundary looks to move in and reinforce those northerly winds that will help to bring in some cooler air back down to low 70s, even upper 60s for a few spots by Friday, about where we should be for this time of year. But a lot of active weather to track between now and then. So again. staying weather aware really important Monday night into Tuesday. Again, Tuesday, midterm election day. If you're heading to the polls that day, the good news is I think the activity, the rain, the rumbles all clear out well ahead of midday. So from that point on, it should be clear skies here in North Texas. And then we look into Wednesday. That's my pick day of the week, mostly sunny skies. Mid-70s, we'll look for maybe some reinforcement of rain and a cold front by Thursday. Then the back end of the weekend and next weekend looks just as good. Seasonable starting in the 50s, topping out in the low 70s.
