Higher risk of tornadoes Sunday in North Texas: When to expect storms to arrive
Another round of potentially dangerous storms will roll into North Texas on Sunday, with a slightly higher risk of tornadoes than Saturday as well as more damaging winds and hail.
The National Weather Service in Fort Worth’s forecast calls for scattered severe storms that will move in from the west, with the greatest chance for the strongest storms near and north of the Interstate 20 corridor.
“Hail and damaging winds will be the main hazards, but a tornado or two cannot be ruled out,” the weather service says.
The timing will be slightly different Sunday than the storms that blew through parts of North Texas on Saturday afternoon.
When storms arrive in North Texas today
The most severe weather including supercell thunderstorms should arrive a bit later in the afternoon and could persist overnight, making any potential tornadoes even more dangerous.
The National Weather Service forecast says we can expect storms to arrive around 5 p.m. and wind down by midnight.
“The tornado threat may be slightly higher than the past couple of days owing to stronger low-level flow/shear,” the weather service says.
Here’s some good news: It should feel less humid than Friday and Saturday, thanks to a steady breeze of 15 to 20 mph with some gusts up to 30 mph
More storms in forecast for Monday
More severe thunderstorms are expected Monday in North Texas during the afternoon and evening. Scattered supercells could roll through along the I-35 corridor and to the east, and north of I-20.
These storms will be moving fast, but there is still the potential for tornadoes Monday during late afternoon and early evening.
