A slow-moving cold front could serve as a catalyst Thursday afternoon for large hail and damaging winds in North Texas, according to the National Weather Service.
This time frame coincides with rush hour, which could result in flooded roadways, and Bonnette stressed that motorists should not attempt to drive through flooded roads.
Along with heavy rain, the storms could be capable of producing up to 2-inch hail and 70-mph wind gusts. Chances of a tornado forming are slim. There is a low chance of isolated thunderstorms occurring throughout the night, with storms moving to the south and east. In Dallas, storm threats will likely abate by midnight.Severe storms in April are common for the area, and the system in Thursday’s forecast is “nothing out of the ordinary.”
“This is pretty common for this time of year,” weather service meteorologist Jason Dunn said. “This is getting into our peak severe weather season.”
