FORT WORTH, Texas – North Texas will see a calm evening Monday before a line of storms pushes into the region from the west in the early hours of Tuesday. The National Weather Service in Fort Worth reports the system is expected to arrive around or after 4 a.m., bringing gusty outflow winds and frequent lightning.
According to the weather service, scattered storms will first impact areas from Graham to Sherman, then track east toward the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. While the storms are not expected to produce widespread flooding, wind gusts could make travel hazardous, especially for high-profile vehicles on Interstate 20 and U.S. 82.
Residents are urged to secure outdoor items tonight and remain indoors when thunder is heard. Lightning can strike several miles from a storm’s core, posing a threat even without heavy rain.
Conditions should improve by late Tuesday morning, but more storm chances may develop midweek as another disturbance approaches.
