Overview
- A messy weather scenario is expected Sunday where storms will form in multiple areas in association with an advancing dryline and an advancing warm front.
- A mix of supercells and clusters of storms is expected Sunday and all modes of severe weather will be possible: large hail, damaging winds, and maybe a few tornadoes.
- Storms are expected to develop around midday or early afternoon across western portions of North Texas and parts of Central Texas.
- Coverage will increase through the afternoon and early evening hours.
- All activity will be moving to the east and exit our area later this evening.
- Localized flooding may be possible due to heavy rainfall and several storms moving over isolated areas.
Looking ahead:
- There is a low potential for a few severe storms capable of producing hail along the dryline on Monday afternoon. The dryline is currently forecasted to be located near/along the I-35 corridor. Keep up with forecast updates for Monday afternoon.
- Elevated to high fire weather conditions are expected behind the dryline west of I-35 on Monday and Tuesday.
There is also a potential for severe storms across areas east of I-35 on Tuesday
Remember, there is a difference between a watch and a warning
