All severe weather alerts issued Friday have been allowed to expire as storms moved out of North Texas.
Following the storms, drier air was moving into the area and the remainder of the weekend is expected to be dry.
The National Weather Service issued a Tornado Warning for northeastern Denton County shortly before 7 p.m. but canceled it before it was set to expire at 7:15 p.m.
The NWS issued the warning due to radar-indicated rotation. NBC 5's Chief Meteorologist Rick Mitchell said at about 7 p.m. the circulation was weakening as it neared Aubrey.
