Strong Storms Expected for North Texas Starting Sunday Night

National Weather Service Issues Severe Thunderstorm Watch for DFW Metroplex

Residents Urged to Prepare for Damaging Winds, Hail, and Possible Tornadoes

The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) metroplex, effective from Sunday evening through Monday morning. Forecasters predict that strong storms, including damaging winds, hail, and even tornadoes, could impact the region.

According to the NWS, the storm system is expected to enter North Texas from the west on Sunday night, bringing with it heavy rainfall and the potential for severe thunderstorms. The storms are anticipated to intensify overnight and continue into Monday morning.

Residents in the affected areas are urged to take precautions and prepare for the possibility of severe weather. The NWS recommends that people secure loose outdoor items, such as patio furniture and trash cans, to prevent them from becoming projectiles in high winds.

Additionally, residents should have a plan in place to take shelter in the event of a tornado warning. The safest place to seek shelter is in a basement or interior room on the lowest floor of a building.

The NWS also advises motorists to avoid driving through flooded areas and to be aware of the potential for downed power lines and trees.
