Isolated to scattered showers and storms are expected again across much of Central and North Texas Saturday afternoon and evening. With rain chances generally 20-40%, most will remain rain free. Wherever storms are able to develop, gusty winds, small hail, and frequent lightning will be possible. These storms should dissipate within 1-3 hours of sunset. Then after midnight, a complex of storms will approach the region from the west. Though these storms should generally weaken throughout the night, there will be a low severe threat for isolated pockets of large hail and/or damaging winds. This complex of storms will approach the I-35 corridor around sunup Sunday morning.
The forecast Sunday is somewhat complex, lending to some uncertainty with regards to storm coverage and strength. In the morning, storms (mainly across North Texas) should weaken and dissipate as they more northeast. These storms will kick out an outflow boundary that will likely set up somewhere near or south of I-20. This will be a potential region for favored storm development into the afternoon and evening hours on Sunday. Any storms that are able to develop along or south of this boundary will have the potential to be strong/severe with all severe modes at play. Further west near the dryline storm development is more uncertain. Nonetheless, we will be watching areas along and west of US-281 for sparse thunderstorm development Sunday evening. Any storms that develop in this second area will also have the potential for all modes of severe weather as they slowly track northeast into Sunday Night. In addition to the severe threat, there will be the potential for localized areas of flooding as many of these storms will have heavy rain.
Unsettled weather will continue through next week with daily chances for strong/severe storms through at least Wednesday. While the potential for rain will continue through the rest of the week, the severe storm risk is much more uncertain. Regardless, be sure to stay up to date with the latest forecasts, have multiple ways to receive warning information, and have a severe weather plan in place before storms arrive!
Don’t wait until the day of the storm to begin protecting yourself. If the forecast calls for severe weather, begin preparing NOW. Stay #WeatherReady. weather.gov/safety/tornado
