What is happeningWritten from the numbers on this page

Dry for the moment, with rain moving in this evening

It is 71° with a dew point of 65°, which is sticky for this time of year. The sky is mostly cloudy.

The wind backs into the north-northwest around 7 PM, which is the turn that usually comes ahead of the change rather than after it. The first rain arrives between 6 PM and 7 PM, with the best chance of it around 9 PM. That leaves a usable window outdoors until about 6 PM, and it closes quickly after that.

Forecasts come from the National Weather Service's own computer models, and current conditions from the nearest reporting weather station. Both are served through the weather API. A forecast is guidance, not a warning, and anything the Weather Service has actually issued is on the live map.

The written summaries on this page are generated from the forecast data above, not by a meteorologist. Each sentence is a reading of the same numbers you can see, and no forecaster has reviewed them.

How well can the network see Bellmead?

The nearest Doppler radar is KGRK (Fort Hood, TX), 63 miles to the SSW. A WSR-88D's lowest routine scan sits half a degree above horizontal, and the earth curves away beneath it, so by the time that beam reaches Bellmead its center is about 4,900 ft above ground. That is far enough out that the beam has climbed above the lowest few thousand feet. Storm structure aloft is visible; a shallow circulation near the ground may not be, and a warning here can arrive before anything looks dramatic on the radar picture.

The closest instrument actually measuring the air is KCNW · Waco/Texas State Tech Arpt on the ASOS/AWOS network, 2.7 miles away. Close enough that its readings are, for practical purposes, the conditions in town.

Beam height is the standard 4/3-earth approximation for the 0.5° scan and assumes normal refraction; it is where the center of the beam is, not its edges, and unusual temperature profiles bend it. Radar siting from the NWS WSR-88D network, station positions from the Texas observing network as of this build.
