For the first time in over three weeks, North Texas is expected to get rain. And not just showers.
The possibility of severe threats are strongest in the afternoon, as showers move from west to east across the region. Those weather threats include damaging winds, hail and frequent lightning, according to the National Weather Service’s Fort Worth office.
They have the possibility of developing for most of the region, with severe storm chances from Waco to the Oklahoma border and east onward from Dallas-Fort Worth.
