Marginal Risk Of Strong To Severe Storms Later Tonight As Cold Front Moves In
UPDATE - The latest update from the Storm Prediction Center has removed our Northeast counties from the Slight Risk area. Areas east of I-35 are under a marginal risk of severe storms overnight.
We are still expecting a line of rain/storms overnight as a disturbance passes by.
Elevated instability will be present as the showers and storms head east but the severe threat remains low.
A couple of severe storms could produce large hail.
Most of us wake up to dry conditions but a few showers may linger until mid-morning especially east of I-35.
Original story:
NORTH TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) - A cold front is currently traversing North Texas with temperatures in the 40s in our northwest counties and in the upper 70s in our southeast counties. There is even a 15 degree temperatures difference between Fort Worth and Dallas right now!
The front will continue its trek to the southeast overnight causing temperatures to tumble into upper 30s and lower 40s by Monday morning. Currently, we just have some scattered rain showers in the area.
We are still monitoring the potential for some strong to severe storms to develop later this evening. The line is expected to move through the Metroplex between 9 p.m. and midnight.
The slight risk of severe storms is still northeast of DFW and along our Red River counties. Large hail and damaging winds would be the main threats with these storms.
Behind the rain and storms comes colder air and strong northerly winds to kick off the work week. Grab the coats tomorrow morning as it will feel close to freezing in many locations! Winds subside a bit for the afternoon hours but clouds are slow to clear and temperatures only reach the low 50s. It will be a stark contrast to the nearly 80 degree temperatures we enjoyed this weekend.
