Strong, severe storms to bring large hail, high winds and heavy rain to North Texas this weekend
Happy Saturday!
First Alerts are in effect starting Saturday evening through Monday due to the heat and storm chances.
This weekend, highs will reach the mid-90s, but with all the moisture in the atmosphere, the heat index value will be in the triple digits. Be sure to drink plenty of water and take frequent breaks in the shade if you're planning on doing any vigorous outdoor activities.
The heat and moisture at the surface combined with an upper-level northwesterly will allow for storms to move through North Texas Saturday night. By Sunday night, a cold front will initiate more storms that will continue into Monday.
The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted a level 2 out of 5 threat for Saturday overnight and a level 3 out of 5 for Sunday night.
Sunday's threat will be much more widespread, with the potential for a significant threat of severe weather. Large hail and damaging winds are the primary threats, but all modes will still be possible.
As for the next week, the cold front stalls on Monday across central Texas. This will initiate more storms as well as cause an active forecast. Stay tuned for the latest forecast updates!
