Fort Worth, Texas – Drivers across North Texas could encounter sudden downpours and hail by Monday evening as isolated storms begin to intensify west of the I-35 corridor, with the greatest risk shifting toward the Big Country overnight.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, scattered showers may develop along and east of I-35 Monday afternoon with a 15 to 20 percent chance of storms. By the evening and overnight hours, activity is expected to organize farther west along and beyond US-281, where a few storms could become severe.
Cities including Graham, Cisco and surrounding rural highways face the highest risk for large hail and damaging wind gusts, potentially exceeding 60 mph. A brief tornado cannot be ruled out in stronger cells. Meanwhile, Dallas-Fort Worth, Sherman, Paris and Waco will likely remain dry for much of the day, though isolated activity could still develop.
Travelers along I-20 and US-281 should monitor conditions closely, especially after sunset when visibility may drop quickly under stronger storms. Residents are urged to secure outdoor items, charge devices and stay weather-aware in case warnings are issued.
Most of North Texas avoids widespread impacts, but any storm that develops could intensify rapidly. Additional advisories may be issued as conditions evolve through the overnight period.
