You can also get a quick briefing of national, regional and local weather whenever you like with the FOX Weather Update podcast. Millions of people in Texas and Oklahoma, including the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, will need to be on alert Sunday as the southern Plains braces for powerful storms packing destructive, hurricane-force wind gusts, massive hail and even some tornadoes. In its latest update, Noaa's Storm Prediction Center noted that there could be a "derecho potentially developing into this evening and overnight, especially across much of North Texas and southern Oklahoma." Millions of people along the Interstate 95 corridor on the East Coast are bracing for the threat of severe weather on Sunday, with cities like Washington and Baltimore facing the risk of some tornadoes. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has placed a large majority of the eastern U.s. from Georgia in the Southeast to the nation's capital in the mid-Atlantic in a Level 2 risk on its 5-point severe thunderstorm risk scale. Tropical activity in the Eastern Pacific Ocean continues to heat up, with both Tropical Storm Barbara and Tropical Depression Three-E developing on Sunday morning. Tropical Storm Barbara is now expected to become the first hurricane of the 2025 season later Sunday or Monday morning. A few hundred miles to the west of Tropical Storm Barbara, Tropical Depression Three-E also formed on Sunday morning and is expected to become Tropical Storm Cosme later Sunday. And a new area of low pressure is forecast to develop late this week south of southern Mexico. The National Hurricane Center said environmental conditions appear conducive for some gradual development of this future low-pressure system, and a tropical depression could form late this week. A lightning strike hit a house in Southern California last Tuesday, startling a mom and her two children who were standing just feet away. Tiffanie Buckner was recording the lightning as storms were rolling in, and her 6-year-old daughter, Penelope, was standing in front of the camera the moment a large lightning bolt hit a home in the cul-de-sac behind her. Thunderstorms are rare in Southern California, with the area averaging less than 10 days a year with reported lightning. Here are a few more stories you might find interesting.

Barbara was located about 170 miles southwest of the tourist port of Zihuatanejo in Guerrero state, according to the center. It had maximum sustained winds of 60 mph and was moving west-northwest at 12 mph. There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect. Two to four inches of rainfall in portions of Mexico's western states may lead to flooding and mudslides through Monday. The storm is also likely to generate sea swells with life-threatening surf and rip currents along the southwestern coast.
