Severe weather is expected to impact cities across North Texas.
The NWS in Fort Worth has predicted a “volatile” day for North Texas as strong severe storms move into the region. The storms are expected to produce hail, damaging winds, and even tornados.
The weather system is expected to arrive in the region during the afternoon hours and remain a threat through the evening.
The NWS told The Dallas Express that these storms are likely to arrive in waves; isolated thunderstorms are expected to appear across the metroplex between noon and 4 p.m.
“Where they fire off really depends on the environment,” said Hunter Reeves with the NWS in Fort Worth.
The greatest threat of severe weather across the region as a whole will arrive after 4 p.m. and continue through the evening hours.
Reeves said these storms are expected to clear from the area by midnight. However, gusty winds of 40 to 50 mph are expected to remain in their wake.
The NWS has already observed isolated thunderstorms today. These storms have produced “moderate rain” and some thunder.
The NWS said that it would continue to monitor these weather systems as they develop and plans to release another weather balloon at noon to gauge the atmosphere again.
The agency advised that citizens exercise caution and preparedness in advance of the storms.
