The National Weather Service issued a tornado watch for mostly all of North Texas, including D-FW, until 9 p.m. Friday.
This comes as severe thunderstorms, several showers along with a cold front are forecast for the area throughout the day and evening.
“The main threats with this activity will be 1 inch hail, damaging winds and an isolated tornado,” an advisory from NWS-Fort Worth said.
Heavy rainfall could result in flooding, especially in the northwest, the advisory warned. Rainfall of 1-2 inches is expected with isolated amounts up to 3 inches.
Wet conditions are only expected to last through Friday with the cold front anticipated to “end storm chances from west to east this evening through the overnight hours,” the advisory said.
