Severe Thunderstorm WATCH in place until 5am for North and Central TX

A Severe Thunderstorm WATCH is now in place for portions of North and Central Texas until 5am tomorrow morning.  The current batch of strong to severe storms ongoing across north Texas is expected to persist into the early morning hours tomorrow.  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.  A couple of brief tornadoes are also possible.  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.
