Chance of severe storms in North Texas Sunday, mostly east of I-35, NWS says
A cold front has brought a threat of severe storms to North and Central Texas on Sunday afternoon and evening, March 30.
A severe thunderstorm warning was issued for Tarrant County until 4:45 p.m. as the storm moved west to east, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth.
The NWS received reports of golf-ball size hail near Pantego and Arlington, and half-dollar size hail near Westover Hills between about 3:45 and 4:05 p.m. Sunday
Tarrant County and Dallas County has been removed from the severe thunderstorm watch, but the watch continues until 10 p.m. Sunday in the following counties: Delta, Ellis, Hopkins, Hunt, Johnson, Kaufman, Navarro, Rains, Rockwall and Van Zandt.
There is a 20-30% chance of thunderstorms in North Texas along with the cold front, primarily affecting areas east of Interstate 35, a meteorologist for the NWS Fort Worth said.
According to the NWS, storm chances will be most likely in areas generally along and east of I-35 and along and south of Interstate 30, where a few severe storms with large hail and damaging winds will be possible through the evening.
The chance of tornadoes is low, but an isolated tornado can’t be ruled out, the NWS said. Residents should remain aware of the potential for severe weather.
Another round of storms on Saturday night dropped large hail in the Dublin area, with most hail sizes ranging from a quarter to a golf ball, the meteorologist said.
More storms possible Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday
There will be more chances for severe thunderstorms this week beginning on Tuesday night, according to the weather service.
The greatest threats are expected to be on Wednesday and Friday.
Isolated severe storms may also develop ahead of a dryline on Tuesday night.
Large hail and damaging winds will be the main hazards, but a tornado threat may also materialize, the NWS said.
