Dallas, TX – Residents across North Texas should prepare for strong to severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening, with the greatest risks northwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, storm chances will increase beginning Monday afternoon and continue into the late evening hours. Forecasters warn some storms may produce large hail and damaging winds, particularly in areas stretching from Graham through Sherman and toward the DFW region.
The highest threat window extends from 3 PM to midnight, with storms moving eastward through cities including Cisco, Waco, and Killeen. The Weather Service advises residents to avoid flooded roads, monitor alerts, and seek shelter immediately if warnings are issued.
Hazards include lightning, strong winds, and potential hailstones. While the most severe activity is expected northwest of DFW, forecasters stress that the broader Metroplex remains at risk as storms progress later in the evening.
Travelers on major highways such as I-35 and I-20 may experience delays during peak commuting hours as the storm system moves across the region.
This weather threat marks one of the more significant storm events for North Texas in September, and residents are encouraged to remain alert to rapidly changing conditions throughout the evening.
