WFAA Weather Alert Day
Monday has been declared a WFAA Weather Alert Day by the WFAA Weather Team. A line of storms will move through the DFW area during the morning hours (6 a.m. to 9 a.m.) with a chance at segments of the line of storms being severe. Click here to stay up to date on
Regardless of storm intensity, a round of heavy rain and lightning will be moving through the DFW area during this time. That will certainly impact the morning commute and those at bus stops or pick-up and drop-off lines.
Stay weather aware in the morning!
Sunday (through midnight)
From 7 p.m. to midnight, an increase in scattered t-storms is likely from the DFW area to the north. While t-storms are more likely, severe storms with this round of rain is unlikely.
Sunday night (midnight - 6 a.m.)
For DFW, this part of the night will be fairly quiet. Storms from earlier in the night will have moved out of the area and most places will be dry.
A different forecast is in place for western and northern North Texas. T-storms will be ongoing into the late night hours with a line of storms forming and moving into western North Texas from around 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. This line of storms could have segments of it that are severe. The main threat will be strong wind gusts up to 60mph. A few instances of up to quarter-size hail are possible as well. The tornado threat is not high, but can't rule out a brief spin-up tornado within the line of storms.
Monday morning (6 a.m. - noon)
That line of storms will continue to move west to east across North Texas arriving in the DFW area from around 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. Closer to 6-7 a.m. for western DFW and 8-9 a.m. for eastern DFW.
The line of storms will have heavy rain and lightning, so it will make the morning commute slow in places and make sure the kiddos are safe getting to and from school.
Storms will quickly move to the east with most of DFW dry by the late morning to noon hour. Eastern DFW will see this line of storms during the late morning into early afternoon but the severe threat looks pretty low during this time. Eastern North Texas will also clear out through the afternoon.
All of North Texas will be dry with even sunshine coming out during the afternoon into evening hours.
Rainfall forecast
Rainfall totals look to be the highest across western and northwestern North Texas where rain will be more widespread Sunday evening into Sunday night. For DFW, rainfall will mostly come from the line of storms moving through the area. Totals for DFW look to be anywhere from 1/2in. to 1in.
