Another round could hit North Texas tonight. Meteorologist Ali Turiano has your forecast and timing on wind and hail threats.

A cold front moving into the region will keep storm chances high. A morning disturbance is bringing showers and storms primarily near the Red River, with more scattered activity expected this afternoon and evening as the front approaches.

Some storms are likely to become severe, capable of producing damaging winds and very large hail. While the tornado threat remains low, an isolated touchdown cannot be ruled out. Afternoon highs will reach the mid-80s before conditions quiet down overnight.
