Storm Timeline for North Texas
CHANCE OF STORMS THIS EVENING THRU TOMORROW MIDDAY…
Severe weather is ongoing across parts of western Oklahoma. At least one tornado has touched down in SW Oklahoma this afternoon as of 3pm. Locally, we are seeing spotty showers and thunderstorms in parts of North Texas. Coverage is not terribly high. Check out the radar here.
This spotty showers and storms will continue thru the evening hours. The severe threat locally is not very high. One or two storms could become severe, but the greatest threat will be west of a line from Stephenville, Weatherford to Decatur this evening.
TONIGHT… Storms out west will form a line along a cold front and move eastward. The timing of this line moving into North Texas is a little uncertain. Where the line forms and how fast east it moves will determine timing for us. It appears that the metroplex may not see this line of storms until after 5am.
TOMORROW…
The cold front will move thru North Texas during the midday hours on Tuesday. What will likely happen is we will have a weakened line of storms moving into the metroplex during the morning hours. These storms could still be severe, but likely just frequent lightning producers and maybe some wind and hail. Then as we head into the midday (10am until 3pm) storms will strengthen along the cold front from Dallas eastward. These storms will have a great potential to be severe as they move east of I-35E.
TIMELINE…
THIS EVENING… Spotty showers and thunderstorms in North Texas. A few isolated severe storms possible, but not a big severe weather outbreak.
TONIGHT… Still spotty showers and storms overnight, but line of storms will develop along cold front west of North Texas.
TOMORROW… Line of storms will be moving into western parts of North Texas overnight into early Tuesday morning. This line will be weakening as it approaches Metroplex.

From Noon until 5pm areas east of I-35E will have a severe storm threat.
Behind front winds will increase out of Northwest and bring cooler weather for Tuesday night into Wednesday. There will also be an enhanced fire threat behind front Tuesday afternoon for western sections of North Texas.
