A fast moving weather system cruised Monday evening through North Texas, bringing large hail, damaging winds and tornado threats to the region.

Storms developed west of the Interstate 35 corridor and impacted the Dallas-Fort Worth area in the early evening hours, said weather service meteorologist Steve Fano.

As early as about 6:10 p.m., parts of Jack, Parker and Palo Pinto counties were under severe weather warnings, with gusts reportedly topping 60 mph and half-dollar-sized hail, according to NWS Fort Worth.

By 8:15 p.m., the National Weather Service had issued a severe thunderstorm warning for parts of southern Dallas County and Tarrant County. . Many parts of Ellis County were also included in the warning.

Most of the severe weather threat cleared out of the area before 9:30 p.m., the NWS Fort Worth website showed.

The weather service issued a tornado warning shortly before 8 p.m. for northeastern Johnson County. The warning expired at 8:15 p.m., the NWS Fort Worth website showed. The storm system was reported near Joshua, about 26 miles south of downtown Fort Worth, according to the weather service. A tornado watch had been issued for multiple North Texas counties, including Denton and Wise.

Monday’s storms also prompted severe thunderstorm warnings in many parts of Denton County, including Plano, Carrollton, Frisco, Denton, Lewisville, Flower Mound and Grapevine. Two-inch hail and 60 mph wind gusts were the main threats to the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the weather service said.

Severe weather in North Texas also caused delays at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

A tornado watch was in effect until 9 p.m. for several counties, including Denton and Wise counties.

Following Monday’s storms, a “fairly significant cold front” wasexpected to move through the area, according to NWS Fort Worth. Shortly before 9 p.m., the air temperature recorded at DFW Airport was 67 degrees, the NWS Fort Worth website showed.

The KXAS-TV (NBC 5) weekly weather forecast on Sunday showed a high of 81 Monday in Dallas, compared to a high of 66 Tuesday.

No precipitation is expected for the remainder of the week until Saturday, when chances for a larger, slower storm system increase, Fano said.

Although it’s still too early for accurate storm predictions, Fano said meteorologists are tracking the weather system and its potential impacts on total solar eclipse-viewing conditions April 8 in the state.
