The Storm Prediction Center has placed most of North Texas in the ‘Slight Risk’ area for severe weather this afternoon and tonight.
The area includes everything east of Abilene and everything north of I-20.
It is a conditional threat highly dependent on several factors interacting with each other in a certain way. If they don’t come together as predicted, DFW is less likely to receiver severe storms, but more likely to receive non-severe storms early Sunday lingering into Monday.

Gusty south winds will lead to an increase in humidity and a new chance of storms Sunday. As a cold front comes through North Texas Sunday morning and returns from South Texas as a warm front Tuesday, rain and thunderstorms may linger early next week.
Today, Sunny, Windy, 83/64
Saturday, Cloudy, Windy, Humid, 82/65
Sunday, Cloudy, Windy, Showers, Storms, 60′s
Monday, Showers, 65
Tuesday, Rain ending, Clearing, 72

Our next chance of storms appears to be early Sunday morning. Strong south winds Friday and Saturday will bring new warmth, moisture and instability into the local area..just as an upper-level storm system and strong cold front approach from the Northwest.

Storm Prediction Center Risk-Area for Severe Thundertorms late Sunday and Sunday night.

Last night’s widely-scattered severe storms generated several reports of golf-ball to baseball-sized hail, wind gusts near 70 mph and additional downburst winds that knocked down limbs, trees and powerlines to thousands of homes and businesses in the DFW metro areas.  
Prepare for similar conditions in the same area between 6PM and Midnight. 
Also, if you will be gone for much of the day, you may wish to unplug sensitive electronic devices to protect against lightning strikes and/or power surges when power is restored.  Likewise, if your power does out during a storm, please find and turn off your thermostat to help prevent neighborhood power surges on your street as the power is brought back up.
Please enjoy this holiday to the fullest any way you choose, but remember to stay alert for rapidly changing conditions and possibly threatening weather late in the day and evening.

Another group of thundertorms southwest of DFW is in the process of dying out. If they collapse as quickly as the previous group did, they will extend our period of gusty winds for another hour or two.
Be prepared for power outages.
Turn off high-energy usage appliances and sensitive electronics if your power is out. They are less likely to be damaged or cause a power surge when power is finally restored.
Thanks for your patience and stay safe!
The Severe Thunderstorm Wind Warnings for Dallas, Collin and Denton counties will not be reissued. We hope that means good news.

Severe thunderstorm winds in excess of 55 mph are still reported across much of the DFW metro area.
Power outages are commonly following the storm track from southwest to northeast.
Oncor crews are getting back into the field as winds dubside and conditions improve to an acceptable margin of safety.
Reminder..if your power is still out, please turn off sensitive electronics and high-usage appliances including your central AC to avoid damaging power surges when power is restored. The worst of the winds is over, but it will remain gusty for a couple more hours until storms southwest of DFW finally dissipate or move on.

Severe winds in excess of 60 mph are raking across much of the DFW area..causing many rapid power outages.
Understand that Oncor restoration teams will have to wait for the winds to drop below the margin of safety before getting back into the field. Secure everything you can and prepare for power outages by disconnecting sensitive electronic devices.
Also if you lose power, try to find your thermostat and turn off your AC to avoid a mass power surge when power is restored to your area.
Thanks for your patiience. Stay safe tonight.
The winds should die off by midnight.

Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Denton Co and Western Collin Co until 9:30.
