An active weather pattern could bring a severe weather threat to North Texas

Increasing chance for storms ahead

Severe weather can happen at any time in North Texas, but climatologically the month of March is when we start to see severe storms become more likely. Severe weather peaks during April and May.

Two storm systems will approach North Texas. One is on Sunday, and the other is on Tuesday. With warm and humid air in place, showers and thunderstorms will develop.

The treat for severe weather is mainly for areas east of Interstate 35 and Interstate 35E. That is where storm energy is the highest.

There is still some uncertainty about how this will unfold, but all types of severe weather will be possible at this time.

A storm is considered severe if it produces hail larger than 1 inch in diameter, winds in excess of 58 mph, or a tornado.
