A renewed round of severe weather is forecast to impact the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex on Tuesday evening, with risks of large hail, damaging winds, and a low chance of isolated tornadoes.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed parts of North Texas under a Level 4 of 5 moderate risk for severe weather, one of the highest threats issued for the region this spring. A cold front moving through the area is expected to trigger supercell thunderstorms that could produce hailstones larger than baseballs in some locations.
FOX 4 meteorologists reported that storms could intensify across the Metroplex late Tuesday afternoon into the evening as the cold front advances. Damaging winds up to 60 mph or higher remain possible, along with brief heavy rainfall. While the tornado threat is considered low, an isolated touchdown cannot be ruled out.
Residents across Dallas, Tarrant, Denton, Collin, and surrounding counties are urged to review their severe weather safety plans. Officials recommend having multiple ways to receive warnings, including NOAA weather radios, and identifying sturdy shelter locations.
Dallas officials and emergency management teams are coordinating with regional partners as the severe weather season continues in North Texas. The region has seen multiple rounds of significant storms in recent weeks, highlighting the need for ongoing preparedness.
Standard precautions include securing outdoor objects, avoiding travel during peak storm times if possible, and staying informed through local media and official alerts.
