Severe Weather in Dallas – Fort Worth: A few storms and winds are expected east of the metroplex

Dallas, Texas.- Tornado watches were canceled for several counties east of the metroplex, including Delta, Fannin, Hunt, Lamar and Rockwall.

During the early hours of January 12, a strong line of storms moved through the Dallas-Fort Worth area and dropped small hail, according to observer and meteorologist Nellie Carreno.

This risk of severe weather will be due to the first cold front moving in, separate from the arctic cold that will arrive Saturday night and Sunday morning.

This Thursday night, we will have DALLAS – Minimal severe weather risk in Fort, Denton and McKinney

. The risk will increase to 2 east of the metroplex, with mainly early morning thunderstorms and a chance of small hail. This may include Areas such as Mesquite, Kaufman, Waxahachie, Corsicana and Paris.

Additionally, we expect winds of 50 mph and the tornado threat is very low, but not 0.

Our meteorologist Nelly Carreno recommends that you can still do some activities this Friday, as the weekend will not be as cold as we expect.
