A Severe Thunderstorm WATCH is now in place for portions of North and Central Texas until 5am tomorrow morning. Â The current batch of strong to severe storms ongoing across north Texas is expected to persist into the early morning hours tomorrow. Â High straight-line winds in excess of 70mph, large hail, torrential rain, and dangerous lightning are possible with this batch of storms as it moves east/southeast across the region tonight. Â A couple of brief tornadoes are also possible. Â With our already saturated soil, flash flooding will be a concern and it’s best to avoid travel if at all possible until the storms have passed.
