Overview

  • Thunderstorms are most likely in the Dallas–Fort Worth area Tuesday between about 1 p.m. and 6 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.
  • A cold front will spark scattered to widespread storms that could produce damaging winds and large hail, and forecasters keep the tornado risk very low.
  • Northwestern counties such as Young, Jack, and Montague have the earliest window Tuesday, most likely late morning into early afternoon before storms shift southeast.
  • Daily rain and storm chances are expected to continue through the Memorial Day weekend, and repeated downpours could bring 1 to 5 inches of rain and localized flooding.
  • Monday stays hot, humid, and windy with gusts near 40 mph and a heat index near 100, and a warm layer of air aloft may cap most storm development until late day.
