NORTH TEXAS (CBSNewsTexas.com) — Amid a weeks-long streak of dry heat, North Texas experienced some long-awaited stormy weather Wednesday evening.

A Severe Thunderstorm Warning was issued for parts of the area, including Denton County, where some damage was reported. The City of Jacksboro also experienced some downed power poles and debris.

And though storms could bring some much needed rain to North Texas, they could also produce some cloud-to-ground lightning—which would not be ideal with the critical fire threat.

Nonetheless, another extremely hot day is forecasted for Thursday, but isolated storms are possible heading into the evening.
