DFW Weather: Significant severe weather moving into North Texas tonight, including damaging wind

DALLAS — Watch live radar and regular forecast updates from our meteorologists on our Smart TV streaming app WFAA+ and download the WFAA mobile app for alerts from our weather team as they come. 

Daily rain chances are in the forecast this week. Some see higher coverage and a strong storm threat. Here’s the latest forecast:

• Severe weather is likely tonight
• More thunderstorms next week… not as severe
• Weekend: Unsettled Pattern Continues

The best chance for storms looks to arrive tonight. That’s when we’ll be watching for another round of intense storms that could bring widespread damaging winds. Sunday is a WFAA Weather Alert Day (from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m.)

As mentioned above, our best chance for severe storms this weekend will be tonight. A complex of thunderstorms will race out of western Oklahoma and the panhandle of Texas and bring a damaging wind risk with it. Winds could exceed 70-80MPH in some instances. Here’s an idea of the timing.

By Sunday night into early next week, we could see a cold front drop into North Texas. That would help spark more rain and storm chances on both Monday and Tuesday — so don’t put the umbrella away just yet!

We’ll keep you updated on any severe threats.
