Tonight
There is a threat for severe weather today, mainly along and east of I-35. A dryline will approach I-35 by mid-afternoon. If any storms
can develop along the dryline, they will be severe with large hail and damaging winds. An isolated tornado will also be possible.
Later tonight, a line of severe thunderstorms along a cold front will move out of southeast Oklahoma and into parts of North Texas. Areas
northeast of the Metroplex from Greenville to Paris and across our eastern areas from Canton to Athens may see some of these storms
tonight. Damaging winds would be the main threat during this time.
This afternoon, there will be a high grass fire threat behind a dryline west of I-35, where temperatures climb into the mid-90s with
gusty winds and low humidity.
Saturday through Thursday
Breezy and dry conditions Saturday and Sunday will lead to elevated
fire weather concerns west of I-35.
Storm chances return Monday night and linger through much of the
week. Non-severe storms will occasionally impact the region, with
lightning being the main threat.
