Published June 23, 2026 6:10 PM CDT

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is currently in effect in North Texas. 

The watch area has been expanded to include the entire Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and surrounding counties. The watch remains in effect until 10 p.m.

Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms continue to move across North Texas this afternoon and evening. While the tornado threat remains low, some storms could produce damaging wind gusts, frequent lightning, torrential rainfall, and localized flooding.

A Severe Thunderstorm Warning remains in effect for portions of Jack, Palo Pinto, Parker, Stephens and Wise County. 

The storm is producing heavy rainfall, frequent cloud-to-ground lightning, and is moving east at approximately 40 mph.

Tuesday Forecast

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue through the evening, with the greatest coverage north of Highway 380 and along the Red River. Some storms may produce wind gusts up to 65 mph and isolated hail up to a quarter in size.

The primary concern remains flooding, especially across parts of Grayson, Fannin, and Lamar counties where several inches of rain fell earlier today. Additional heavy rainfall could lead to rapid flooding.

Storms are expected to gradually weaken later tonight, although a few showers may linger through 10 or 11 p.m.
