Scattered severe storms are expected for develop along a dryline/front and move across North Texas tonight and again Wednesday morning. More widespread strong to severe storms will be possible during Wednesday afternoon. Large hail, damaging winds, and localized flooding will be the primary threats, thought a tornado or two will also be possible.

A weak stationary front will sag south across the region from Thursday into Friday, bringing more scattered showers and storms especially to Central Texas. Some storms could be severe both days with large hail and damaging winds, and localized flooding.

Our potential for flooding will be increasing starting late tonight through Wednesday, with the highest potential for flooding across the Red River Valley and parts of the western North Texas on Wednesday.
