Monday is a First Alert Weather Day for North Texas due to the threat of strong and severe storms.
Be prepared for an active day and have multiple ways to receive warnings. Most of North Texas is under a slight threat of severe weather with the potential of quarter-size hail, winds up to 60 mph, localized flooding and an isolated tornado.
Counties further north, including Denton, Collin, Grayson and Cooke, are under an enhanced risk of severe weather – this is the area most likely to see a tornado and experience damaging winds.
Monday morning started off warm, muggy and windy with temperatures in the mid-70s.
From 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., storms will develop in western counties before tracking east towards the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the line of storms moves into the Metroplex with all hazards possible.
From 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., the storms move out of the Metroplex and intensify to the east.
