A cold front and dryline will bring a chance of thunderstorms today and tonight, some of which may be severe. The highest severe weather threat will likely be this afternoon and evening for areas near and east of I-35.

04/11/2026

The forecast Sunday is somewhat complex, lending to some uncertainty with regards to storm coverage and strength. In the morning, storms (mainly across North Texas) should weaken and dissipate as they more northeast. These storms will kick out an outflow boundary that will likely set up somewhere near or south of I-20. This will be a potential region for favored storm development into the afternoon and evening hours on Sunday. Any storms that are able to develop along or south of this boundary will have the potential to be strong/severe with all severe modes at play. Further west near the dryline storm development is more uncertain. Nonetheless, we will be watching areas along and west of US-281 for sparse thunderstorm development Sunday evening. Any storms that develop in this second area will also have the potential for all modes of severe weather as they slowly track northeast into Sunday Night. In addition to the severe threat, there will be the potential for localized areas of flooding as many of these storms will have heavy rain.

04/09/2026

Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms from Saturday through at least Tuesday of next week are expected to bring 1 to 3 inches of rain to much of North and Central Texas. With locally heavy rainfall at times, some localized flooding will be possible, especially across parts of North Texas.
