Strong thunderstorms possible Wednesday across North Texas
A slow-moving cold front is forecast to push into North Texas on Wednesday, June 18, bringing the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms throughout the region, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth.
By the afternoon, isolated to scattered storms may begin to develop ahead of the front, primarily near the Red River. As the front advances, additional storm activity is expected to form mainly along and north of Interstate 20, particularly between 6 p.m. and midnight.
The primary hazards associated with these storms include hail and damaging winds, both of which could affect areas within the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. While most rainfall totals are expected to range from 0.25 to 1 inch (circa 6 to 25 mm), some spots near the Red River may see up to 1.5 inches (circa 38 mm) of precipitation.
