Dallas, TX – Storms are expected to redevelop within hours across North Texas, with the greatest risk for large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes building south of Interstate 20 by mid to late afternoon Sunday.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, scattered strong to severe thunderstorms will intensify after 3 p.m. along and south of the I-20 corridor, including areas from Dallas-Fort Worth to Waco and Killeen. Storm coverage is expected to reach 50% to 70%, with hazards including hail over 1 inch in diameter, wind gusts near 60 mph, and a low but present tornado threat.
Morning storms will gradually weaken, but redevelopment is expected quickly as daytime heating increases instability. Areas east of I-35, including Canton and Palestine, may see additional storms earlier in the afternoon, though the strongest activity is expected later in the day farther south and west.
By Sunday night, attention shifts west of U.S. 281, where a 10% to 20% chance of isolated severe storms could develop near Graham and Cisco. Any storms that form will carry similar risks but are expected to weaken before midnight.
Looking ahead, a more organized severe weather setup takes shape Tuesday and Wednesday, with widespread storms possible across the DFW metro and Central Texas. Residents should secure outdoor items, monitor alerts, and prepare for rapidly changing conditions as multiple rounds of storms continue through midweek.
