Fort Worth, TX – North Texas residents should prepare for strong evening storms Tuesday as a cold front pushes through the region. Forecasters warn the greatest impacts could hit between 4 p.m. and midnight, with the threat of damaging winds, large hail, and heavy rainfall.
According to the National Weather Service Fort Worth, scattered storms are expected to form along and ahead of the front, then move southeast overnight. Some of these storms could become severe, with gusty winds and hail posing the highest risks. The heaviest activity is likely to stretch from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex to Sherman, Canton, and surrounding areas.
Storm chances will linger into Wednesday, though forecasters say the highest risk window is Tuesday evening. Residents in DFW, Waco, Sherman, and surrounding communities are encouraged to monitor forecasts closely and prepare for possible power outages, travel delays, and flash flooding in low-lying areas.
Meteorologists note that even localized storms could create dangerous travel conditions during the evening commute and overnight hours. Travelers along major corridors including I-35 and I-20 should allow extra time and remain alert to changing weather conditions.
The National Weather Service advises residents to secure outdoor items, review severe weather safety plans, and keep weather alerts enabled on mobile devices through Tuesday night.
