Sunday forecasts
Overview:
The main threat will be powerful and linear winds, with gusts potentially reaching 80 to 95 MPH while a line of storms moves in the region. The Storm Prediction Center issued a level 4 out of 5 “moderate risk” for a large part of Northern Texas, indicating the potential of an important violent epidemic.
“It has the potential to be one of the biggest serious weather events that we have seen so far this spring, just with this high wind potential,” said Capps. She noted that the winds of this magnitude can cause damage equivalent to an EF-0 or EF-1 tornado.
Emergency intervention resources
What they say:
Governor Greg Abbott announced that he had ordered the Texas emergency management division (TDEM) to activate additional state emergency intervention resources before increased threats of serious time and flood which should have an impact on the state in the coming days.
“Texas is ready to deploy all the resources necessary to support the Texans while serious weather conditions move through our state which have the potential to cause sudden floods and heavy rains,” said Governor Abbott. “The Texans are invited to remain aware of the weather conditions, regularly check the conditions of the road and take into account the advice of state authorities and local authorities to ensure the safety of themselves and their loved ones. Monitor the roads regularly before traveling and check Texasflood.org for information on the floods. Do not forget: do not go down.”
In the direction of Governor Abbott, the emergency response resources of the following state remain available to support local response to bad weather:
- Texas A & M Engineering Extension Service (Texas A & M Task Force 1 and Texas Task Force 2): SWIFTWATER LICHAGE BOARD SHOWS, Urban research and type 3 rescue teams

Chronology:
The line of storms should approach the northwest of northern Texas around 8 p.m. and move to the Metroplex of Dallas-Fort Worth between 10 p.m. and midnight. It is expected to get out of the area to the east and southeast between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. on Monday.
“The initial storms that move from the north and the west will have this threat of tornado, as well as a great threat of hail, but the wind continues to be the greatest concern,” said Capps. A growing threat of floods is also a concern due to the potential for strong precipitation.
Earlier Sunday, scattered showers and thunderstorms were reported in the parts of the Far East and northeast of Northern Texas, with a few storms crossing hail producing the Red River.
The active weather model should continue throughout the week. Several series of showers and thunderstorms are in forecasts from Tuesday to Thursday, leading to a continuous threat of heavy rain and potential floods.
7 -day forecasts
Residents are advised to remain aware of the weather conditions, to have several ways to receive warnings and to secure outdoor objects which could become projectiles by strong winds.
