We are tracking a weaker front that’s bringing the potential for more severe weather to areas north of our viewing area, and we are still watching for the chance for heavier rain and thunderstorms and we’re not ruling out the chance for hail either.

A portion of Dallas and areas to the north are under a tornado watch this evening until 6 pm - with the threat of damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph and hail up to 2″. Right now, in Houston, we’re under a wind advisory with wind gusts up to 35+ mph and the threat of more severe weather in the overnight hours.
