Severe thunderstorm watch in effect across North Texas<\/strong><\/p>\n DALLAS<\/strong>, Tuesday, May 6, 2025 \u2014 7:21 a.m. CDT<\/strong> \u2014 A volatile weather pattern<\/strong> has returned to North Texas<\/strong>, as a Severe Thunderstorm Watch<\/strong> blankets a broad swath of the region this morning. This alert, issued by the National Weather Service<\/strong>, affects 20 counties<\/strong>, including Dallas<\/strong>, Tarrant<\/strong>, Denton<\/strong>, Collin<\/strong>, Henderson<\/strong>, Navarro<\/strong>, and Ellis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Damaging wind gusts<\/strong> reaching 65 mph<\/strong>, hailstones as large as 2.5 inches<\/strong> (6.35 cm), and the risk of isolated tornadoes<\/strong> make this a high-impact weather event<\/strong> for the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex<\/strong> and surrounding areas. A Severe Thunderstorm Warning<\/strong> is already active in portions of the region.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Flood watch compounds the severe threat<\/strong><\/p>\n Simultaneously, a River Flood Warning<\/strong> and a Flood Watch<\/strong> have been issued, with heavy rainfall<\/strong> expected to exacerbate saturated soils and elevate streams and rivers. Counties under flood alerts include Dallas<\/strong>, Hunt<\/strong>, Denton<\/strong>, Wise<\/strong>, Red River<\/strong>, Freestone<\/strong>, Navarro<\/strong>, Cooke<\/strong>, and Anderson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Tuesday\u2019s outlook<\/strong> brings widespread rain<\/strong> through the morning and midday, driven by a strong upper-level disturbance<\/strong> sweeping across North Texas<\/strong>. While the tornado threat<\/strong> is expected to migrate south<\/strong> of the Metroplex<\/strong> later today, damaging winds<\/strong> and hail<\/strong> will remain a concern into the afternoon.<\/p>\n Temperatures<\/strong> will struggle to rise, with highs only reaching the 60s<\/strong> (16\u201320 \u00b0C) under persistent cloud cover<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Midweek cooldown, then milder conditions ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n Wednesday<\/strong> opens cool and cloudy<\/strong>, with the chance of afternoon sunshine<\/strong> pushing temperatures into the upper 70s<\/strong> (25\u201326 \u00b0C). While rain chances<\/strong> linger through Wednesday night<\/strong>, they are low and localized<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Thursday<\/strong> continues the partly cloudy<\/strong> trend, remaining in the mid to upper 70s<\/strong> (24\u201326 \u00b0C), before a weak upper-level system<\/strong> moves through on Friday<\/strong>, potentially bringing increased cloudiness<\/strong> and a brief dip in temperatures<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mother\u2019s Day weekend shaping up beautifully<\/strong><\/p>\n By the weekend, North Texas<\/strong> will transition into a mild and tranquil pattern<\/strong>. Saturday<\/strong> is expected to be pleasant<\/strong>, with highs in the 70s<\/strong> (21\u201325 \u00b0C). Sunday<\/strong>, for Mother\u2019s Day<\/strong>, will be picture-perfect<\/strong>: a cool start in the 50s<\/strong> (10\u201315 \u00b0C) followed by sunny skies<\/strong> and afternoon highs near 80\u00b0F<\/strong> (27 \u00b0C).<\/p>\n Looking ahead to next week<\/strong>, a warming trend<\/strong> will bring highs back into the 80s<\/strong> (27\u201330 \u00b0C) with increasing humidity<\/strong> returning to the forecast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Severe thunderstorm watch in effect across North Texas DALLAS, Tuesday, May 6, 2025 \u2014 7:21 a.m. CDT \u2014 A volatile weather pattern has returned to North Texas, as a Severe Thunderstorm Watch blankets a broad swath of the region this morning.
