Dallas weather: Severe storms possible in North Texas
The Brief
Storms are currently moving across North Texas Sunday morning, bringing rain and some gusty winds to areas north and east of the Metroplex.
A higher risk of severe weather, including large hail and damaging winds, is expected later Sunday afternoon and evening, mainly south of I-20.
This system will lead to several days of unsettled weather, with ongoing storm chances and a potential for localized flooding.
DALLAS - A complex of storms moving south from Oklahoma began impacting North Texas on Sunday morning, bringing showers and thunderstorms with a heightened risk of more severe weather anticipated later in the day.
The initial wave of storms crossed the Red River early Sunday, affecting northern parts of Grayson County and far northeast Montague County. These showers and thunderstorms are forecast to continue tracking east and southeast through the late morning, primarily affecting areas east of Interstate 35 and north of Interstate 20.
Some of these morning storms could produce locally heavy downpours, small hail, and brief gusty winds. Heavy rainfall was reported east of Thackerville, Oklahoma, approaching the Sherman-Denison area along U.S. Highway 75.
A greater potential for severe weather is expected later Sunday afternoon and into the evening, particularly for areas south of Interstate 20.
New storm development, fueled by increasing humidity, daytime heating, and residual boundaries from the morning storm activity, is expected after 4 or 5 p.m. The primary threats from these later storms include large hail and damaging winds. While the overall tornado threat is considered low, it is not zero.
Morning temperatures on Sunday were mainly in the 60s and 70s, with dew points expected to climb throughout the day. High temperatures are forecast to reach the upper 80s.
This weather system is expected to usher in several days of active weather for North Texas, influenced by the jet stream, multiple atmospheric disturbances, and a stalled frontal boundary. This prolonged period of unsettled weather could also bring a localized flood threat, with the potential for a couple of inches of rain in some areas before the pattern subsides.

Iran-U.S. Nuclear Talks: What's at Stake?
After weeks of tense negotiations aimed at preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, the Trump administration has offered a concession that may open a path to a compromise. Over the weekend, the United States proposed the outline of a deal that would seem to allow Iran to temporarily continue enriching uranium. That has been a sticking point in the talks, which have been at an impasse. President Trump has consistently berated Iran's leadership, and the countries have been at odds for many decades. But shifts in geopolitics and Mr. Trump's wish to secure a legacy-making deal have sent his aides back to the negotiating table. Failed talks could lead to a destructive regional war. Under the proposal, which Iranian and European officials described on the condition of anonymity, Iran could produce enriched uranium temporarily while the United States facilitates building nuclear power plants for Iran. A consortium of countries in the region would manage uranium enrichment facilities to provide nuclear fuel for the plants. Iran would then have to stop all enrichment within its borders once it begins receiving any benefits from those facilities. Here is what you need to know. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Minnesota lawmakers continue to finish work behind the scenes, layoff notices go to most state workers soon if they don't pass budget
Minnesota lawmakers continued their behind-the-scenes work on Tuesday as they eye a partial government shutdown next month if they don't complete the next two-year state budget by July 1. Most state employees will receive layoff notices next Monday if a special session approving those spending plans isn't over by then, Gov. Tim Walz's office said. Walz won't officially call lawmakers back to the capitol until all of the remaining bills are ready to go. Lawmakers have been in mostly private meetings to make that happen, finding agreement and then sending it to the revisor's office for drafting. Key lawmakers have been meeting in "working groups" since the May 20, after the regular session ended, to sort out the details of each unifinished bill. Some broader agreements and actual proposals are posted on the Legislature's website, including a K-12 spending package. If they don't complete their work by the deadline at the end of the month, state services and programs would only partially shut down because some parts of the budget did pass before adjournment last month, including funding for the courts, attorney general's office, and agriculture and veterans departments. State workers in those agencies would be held harmless. The last time there was a government shutdown was in 2011. Four years ago in 2021, lawmakers in a divided capitol narrowly avoided one, passing the remaining parts of the budget June 30 during a special session. DFL Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy told WCCO Sunday she hopes there will be a special session this week, but legislative leaders and key negotiators have blown past other self-imposed deadlines the last few weeks. What's unclear is how the Legislature will approve a part of a budget deal between legislative leaders and the governor that would remove undocumented immigrant adults from a state program providing health care coverage, which is sparking outcry among several DFL lawmakers. Murphy has said it needs to be a stand-alone bill, while GOP House Speaker Lisa Demuth wants it to be part of a broader health package.
