The National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for most of North Texas and parts of Central Texas until 8:00 a.m. this morning. A strong system along a warm front is bringing the potential for very large hail, damaging winds, and a low-end tornado risk in areas close to the front.
 

What to Expect:

• Hail: While egg-sized hail is possible in isolated areas, most locations will see smaller hail or no hail at all.

• Wind: Gusts may reach up to 60 miles per hour, capable of causing localized damage.

• Tornadoes: The risk is very low, mainly confined to spots right along the warm front.

Timeline Based on Location:

• Western DFW Metroplex: Peak storm activity from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m.

• Eastern DFW Metroplex: Higher chances from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m.

• South/Southeast of DFW: Likely out of the path of the most intense storms.

Additional Weather Notes:

• Cooler air and northern winds will dominate the day after storms clear.

• Patchy rain is possible west and northwest of DFW during the afternoon/evening.

• Sunday will be dry but chilly, with wind chills in the 30s early on and highs stuck in the 50s, well below the seasonal average of 75°F.

Safety Tips:

• Stay indoors during storms.

• Charge mobile devices and keep alerts on.

• Park vehicles in sheltered areas if possible.

• Stay tuned to local news and weather updates.
