Severe weather threat is going down for residents that live ROUGHLY along and west of a Sherman to Dallas to Waxahachie line this afternoon.

A VERY strong cap is in place this morning. This cap looks to remain in place as the whole system swings through this afternoon. If the cap breaks, severe storm chances will increase in the risk areas, but temperatures need to get above 86 degrees or so. 

Here's the latest timing for today's severe weather threat. Strong to severe storms will be possible through the afternoon hours ahead of a dryline. Large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes will be possible. Stay weather-aware and have multiple ways to receive warnings! #txwx pic.twitter.com/u5OHoprClj

A different story east of 75 and I-45 where all facets of severe weather are possible.

After today's mess to our east, an awesome weather pattern is shaping up for all of north Texas tomorrow, this weekend and through early next week. Temperatures this weekend will be the coolest, with highs in the mid to upper 70s. Lows will be in the 50s with VERY low humidity! Enjoy.

Our main system arrives on Wednesday w/scattered-numerous showers & tstorms ahead of a dryline. Storms exit the area by evening with a cold front. Severe weather w/large hail & damaging winds is possible. A tornado can't be ruled out. #dfwwx #ctxwx #texomawx #txwx pic.twitter.com/zldHhsScZq
