WATCH LIVE: Thunderstorms ahead, some severe, and then a cool down

A powerful storm system is moving into North Texas

Rain and thunderstorms will be moving through North Texas through the morning hours. Some storms could be severe with damaging winds and a tornado threat. A tornado watch is in effect west of the Dallas/ Ft. Worth area until 10 a.m.

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

As a Pacific cold front moves toward North Texas, shower and thunderstorm coverage will increase into Monday morning. NBC 5 meteorologist Kevan Smith has the latest forecast.

Damaging winds will be the main threat. Winds could be over 60 mph. There is also the potential for a tornado and some hail. Stay weather aware, especially as kids head to school and on the roads. Storms are expected to hit during the morning rush hour.

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 easily receive over an inch of rain (especially farther west).

Rain is expected to clear the region by midday with decreasing clouds through Monday afternoon. A stronger cold front pushes into the area by Tuesday night.
