While little to no severe weather is expected today, the GFS seems to be suggesting the potential for a severe thunderstorm event next Saturday (3/10) for the Red River area of north-central Texas and southern Oklahoma into East Texas. CFS gives a stronger storm system with less instability (and brings some instability into NE OK), and GDPS (Canadian) seems to be a non-event for the southern Plains. Euro has the strongest system, bringing a sub-1000mb MSLP low from the Panhandle into NE OK, and then to the lower Ohio River valley. SPC says that the predictability is too low, but this is still 7 days out.

It seems that convective initiation is starting along and east of a line from DFW Airport up through Sherman, based on seeing small pops of heavier returns on the radar surrounded by no returns at all. There are also patches of drizzle southwest of Fort Worth. We'll have to see how the storms develop.
