North and Central Texas

Expect two rounds of storms today. Storms will be most expansive this morning into the early afternoon along and east of I-35. Isolated strong to marginally severe storms and flooding will be possible with the morning activity. Isolated storms are likely late this afternoon near a dry line. There is a conditional severe threat with the late afternoon activity.

Severe storms are possible on Saturday and Sunday ahead of a dryline. Large hail, damaging winds, and a tornado or two will be possible. Additionally, the risk for flash flooding will increase Saturday night west of I-35 and again through Sunday afternoon across East Texas. Given the potential for night-time flooding and severe weather, ensure you have all the necessary preparations completed before severe weather strikes!

An unsettled weather pattern with humid and warm conditions will persist throughout next week. Storms will be possible each afternoon, with a low threat of strong to severe storms.

Today and Tonight

Thunderstorms are moving into Western North Texas early this morning. Storms will increase in coverage later this morning, mainly along and east of the I-35 corridor. Some of these storms may be severe, with a threat of damaging winds and large hail. There will be a localized flooding threat across eastern North Texas.

Saturday through Thursday

The severe threat will increase again Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning across North Texas, and expect another round of thunderstorms. Large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes will be possible. In addition, locally heavy rainfall may cause flash flooding across parts of North Texas.

There will also be a chance for thunderstorms on Sunday afternoon and evening, mainly east of I-35. A few of these storms could be severe, with damaging winds and large hail.

On-and-off storm chances will continue through the weekend. Lightning and brief heavy rain will be the main threats.
