Severe Weather Alert in North Texas: Storms, Hail, Tornado Risk, and Flooding Threats

North Texas is facing a significant weather event with increasing severe storm threats on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Tuesday, a cold front will bring a sharp temperature drop from the low to mid-90s into the 70s and 80s, accompanied by a high humidity level with dew points near 70°F, making the heat index feel over 100°F. Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop late in the afternoon and into the evening, particularly in northern and northwestern counties, with risks including gusty winds exceeding 55-60 mph and hail up to quarter size. The tornado threat remains low but cannot be completely ruled out. Wednesday will see continued storm activity, especially during the morning rush hour, with the possibility of heavy rain and isolated strong storms producing gusts and small hail. A First Alert Weather Day is in effect, with rainfall potentially reaching 4-5 inches in some areas, raising concerns about flash flooding. By midday, the weather will clear, and temperatures will settle into the mid-60s to low 80s, with dry and pleasant conditions expected through the weekend. In addition to storms, recent reports include damaging winds and large hail causing structural damage in Denton County, with one person in critical condition. There have also been reports of a fatal home overturn in Sanger, and multiple arrests related to criminal activities in Dallas. The weather outlook emphasizes the need for caution as strong storms, hail, and wind are likely, with the potential for flash flooding and localized damage. The forecast indicates a transition to fall-like conditions by Thursday, with cooler mornings and dry weather continuing into the weekend.
