DALLAS – After a major round of storms early Friday morning, North Texas will have a brief break before two more weather systems sweep through.
Friday Forecast: Severe Weather Risks, Flood Watch
Following the departure of rain in Dallas early Friday, the region is between disturbances. However, there remains a 30 to 35 percent chance of storms throughout the day. Most of the rain will stay west and north of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

The main disturbance arrives Friday evening. The timing is projected to be after sunset west of DFW and late evening, around 9 to 10 p.m., for the Metroplex. High winds are the primary risk. Hail the size of a quarter or less is possible, and western areas face a slight tornado risk.
Widespread rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches and isolated amounts of 4 to 5 inches will be possible, according to the National Weather Service. A Flood Watch is in effect from 7 p.m. Friday to 1 p.m. Saturday.
