WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS — A developing line of strong to severe thunderstorms is expected to sweep across parts of Texas and Oklahoma tonight, bringing the threat of large hail, damaging winds, isolated tornadoes, and heavy rainfall as it moves east toward the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
Storms are forecast to organize west of Abilene, Wichita Falls, and western Oklahoma, where conditions will support the strongest activity before gradually weakening overnight.
Strongest Storms Expected West of I-35
The most intense storms are expected to develop in areas west of I-35, particularly near Abilene, Lawton, and Wichita Falls, where instability and wind energy will be highest.
These storms could produce large to very large hail, wind gusts up to 65 mph, and a low but notable tornado risk, especially during the early stages of storm development. Heavy rainfall may also accompany these storms, leading to brief localized flooding in some areas.
