Severe Weather Likely Tonight

Tonight’s risk of severe weather.

The risk of severe weather returns to North Texas tonight as a strong upper level storm system approaches the area. A dryline will set up out in the Big Country this evening and will be the trigger for storms to form. The initial storms will form into a line as they push into our western counties and then move across North Texas as we go through the overnight. The Metroplex timeline is 1 am – 5 am. Wind is the primary concern with gusts of 65 – 70 mph possible. Hail sizes could range from quarters to half dollars with a few reports of golf balls possible. The tornado probabilities remain low but a couple of tornado warnings are possible. A few quick spin up tornadoes along the leading edge of the line would be the main concern. We’ll have more throughout the day on the mobile app and updates on the channel as well.
