The storms are almost here, North Texas.

Several days of continued rainy weather are forecast to begin Wednesday evening, according to the National Weather Service’s Fort Worth office. Precipitation chances could start climbing as early as 7 p.m., but rain and thunder intensity aren’t expected to rise until 1 a.m. Some severe storms are possible, with intense wind and hail as the greatest threats.

The National Weather Service issued a tornado watch for western parts of North Texas, including Montague, Jack and Young counties until midnight. A few tornadoes, damaging winds of 70 mph and up to 2-inch hail is possible, the weather service said. 

Those storms should last until about 1 p.m., when a break in the rain should allow some sunshine to return. Temperatures are expected to still be warm Thursday afternoon, with highs again in the 80s. However, Friday night’s rain should bring a cold front, dropping the highs for the rest of the weekend down around 70.

Storms should return Friday evening around 7 p.m. and again continue through the overnight hours into midday Saturday. The second round of rain is currently forecast to bring more water, about 1.6 inches. Flooding could be a concern in areas that get higher rain Wednesday night.
