ALT An educational infographic from NWS Fort Worth titled "Downburst Winds and Boating Danger." The graphic illustrates the sequential formation of a downburst across a landscape. On the left, rain drops from a high, saturated cloud layer into a lower layer of hot, dry air, causing evaporation and precipitation drag. In the center, a pocket of heavy, cold air rushes downward to the surface, creating a strong downdraft labeled as damaging wind. On the right, arrows show these winds spreading out horizontally across the surface toward an open lake. Under a bright, sunny sky, a sailboat is shown in danger of capsizing from the strong winds. Text warns that unsuspecting boaters can be caught off guard by these strong winds, even when skies are sunny.
ALT Storm chances will increase this evening into Friday across North and Central Texas. The better potential for strong to locally severe storms and heavy rain is expected this evening with development along the dryline west of I-35. Storm coverage increases overnight into Friday morning as a cold front moves southward through North Texas. Additional scattered storms may develop Friday afternoon, but the exact location and coverage will depend on where the front and any leftover storm boundaries end up.
