"Dallas Area Braces for Severe Weather Threat During Monday's Total Solar Eclipse"

The NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has issued an early severe weather risk for North Texas, southern Oklahoma, and parts of Arkansas and Louisiana, including the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, coinciding with Monday's total solar eclipse. The severe weather threat, potentially including scattered thunderstorms, may occur in the late afternoon, after the eclipse has passed through the region, but could still result in unwanted cloud cover during the eclipse. Forecast models indicate an upper-level low-pressure system interacting with a moist air mass, creating the atmospheric conditions for severe weather.
