According to the National Weather Service Fort Worth, the most significant threats include gusty winds, quarter-sized hail, and frequent lightning. The strongest storms are expected between 7 p.m. and 1 a.m., primarily affecting areas such as Graham, Cisco, and surrounding communities. A “Strong to Severe” warning has been issued for parts of the region during this window.
Storms are expected to arrive in the northwestern counties by 7 p.m., then progress southeastward into the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area and nearby regions through late evening and into early Friday morning.
Residents are urged to have multiple ways to receive warnings, such as weather radios, smartphone apps, or local TV alerts, especially if asleep when the storms arrive. The primary time of concern for the DFW area is between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m.
