Severe Thunderstorm Watches were in effect to the northwest of Dallas-Fort Worth Wednesday morning, while Flood Watches were in effect north of the area through the evening.

A large area of showers and thunderstorms developed between Abilene and Wichita Falls on Wednesday, and is expected to arrive in North Texas' western counties by mid-to-late morning, and across the rest of the Dallas-Fort Worth area through mid-afternoon. Threats include large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes.


A new storm or tornado watch will likely be issued, encompassing all of North Texas. While the morning commute should be unaffected, the afternoon commute may be impacted, especially for those heading south or east of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Afternoon highs will struggle to reach 80 degrees.

Storms will move out Wednesday evening, followed by fog rolling in Thursday morning, with temperatures ranging from 56 to 61 degrees. There will be a break in the storms on Thursday, with some afternoon sunshine, and readings topping out in the mid-80s.
