LIVE RADAR: Power out to 37,000 after strong storms push through DFW

A powerful storm system is moving into North Texas

Rain and thunderstorms moved through North Texas Monday morning, knocking out power to more than 37,000 people, according to Oncor.

At its peak, the number of reported outages topped 40,000 on Monday.

The main threat from the storm was expected to be damaging wind gusts. Tornado potential was diminished. That being said, stay weather aware, as these storms do have the potential for a quick spin-up. Once the line moves past, so does the threat of severe weather.

We could use the rain. Rain totals should be generous, with much of the area picking up at least a half-inch of rain. Some spots could quickly receive over an inch of rain (especially farther west).

Storms will mainly impact North Texas through the morning hours. This afternoon will turn breezy and cooler.

Rain is expected to clear the region by midday, and clouds will decrease through Monday afternoon. A stronger cold front will push into the area by Tuesday night.

A potent storm system is moving into North Texas. Numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected this morning. Storms could turn severe during this time. While the greatest concern will be damaging winds, storms could produce a few quick spin-up tornadoes along the leading edge of the squall line. Heavy rain will accompany these storms and could lead to some flooding issues. This activity will exit the area by midday Monday, with decreasing clouds through the afternoon.
