LIVE RADAR: Severe Thunderstorm Watch for 6 North Texas counties, flash flood warnings for 9 counties

Another storm system arrived today

Another round of rain and storms arrived along a dryline today across North Texas, bringing flash flooding and there is a potential for some of the storms to turn severe.

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for Henderson, Hopkins, Kaufman, Navarro, Rains and Van Zandt Counties until 7 p.m. The concern is hail up to ping pong size, wind gusts up to 70 mph and a couple of tornadoes are possible.

A Tornado Watch has been issued for the North Texas counties of Anderson and Freestone until 7 p.m.

The National Weather Service has issued Flash Flood Warnings for 9 North Texas counties including Dallas, Tarrant, Collin and Denton Counties.

The prime time for strong storms in DFW is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

DFW is under a Marginal (Level 1) risk for severe storms. That threat increases to Slight (Level 2) for areas east and southeast of Dallas.

The primary threats are lightning, heavy rain, wind gusts to 60 mph, and hail up to the size of quarters. Tornadoes can’t be completely ruled out in east Texas, but the threat is low.

The severe weather threat should end by late afternoon for most of the area as a cold front swings into the area. But some wrap-around showers are possible into the early evening.
