North and Central Texas

Warm, breezy, and humid conditions continue this weekend with scattered, late-day strong to severe storms containing locally heavy rainfall expected from mid-afternoon through the evening hours each day. Thunderstorms may start isolated and discrete with colossal hail, damaging winds, and possibly a brief tornado. Storms will then evolve into storm clusters or a storm complex after nightfall and during the evening hours. Large hail, damage to destructive winds, and isolated instances of flooding or flash flooding would become the primary hazards. The primary window for strong to severe storms will be between 3:00 pm and 11:00 pm each day.

The unsettled weather pattern will continue with daily storm chances across North and Central Texas next week. Rain chances will increase in the latter half of the week as another storm system approaches North and Central Texas.

Today and Tonight
Severe storms will be possible this afternoon and evening, mainly along and west of the I-35 corridor. The main threats will be large hail over 2″ and damaging wind gusts between 60 and 80 mph. Isolated flash flooding may occur if training storms develop. You can not rule out a tornado or two.

Sunday through Friday
The severe weather threat continues on Sunday. The unsettled weather pattern will lead to additional strong to severe storms each day, mainly in the afternoon and evening. You could see large to colossal hail, damaging winds, and a tornado. The flash flooding threat will increase in the latter half of next week.
