All eyes will be on Central Texas early Thursday afternoon. In fact, likely sometime after 1 or 2 p.m., a few supercell thunderstorms could move in from the south and become severe.

That would mainly be for areas south of Interstate 20 first. Then, those supercells will cross I-20 toward the DFW Metroplex and point northward. Note: This is all ahead of the main line.

The cold front will push a strong line of severe storms from west to east around 3 p.m. So, areas west of Interstate 35 will see the line of storms first. Sometime closer to 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., the line will be impacting the DFW Metroplex.
