That designation is not routine — it signals a credible, trackable threat that residents should take seriously before stepping outside.This morning, scattered showers are already pushing through areas east of I-35 — mostly nuisance rain for now. The larger story develops this afternoon, when conditions northwest of the Metroplex could produce hail and damaging winds if storms fire as expected. The critical window is late afternoon into evening. Highs today climb near 90 degrees, with steady winds of 10 to 20 mph and gusts potentially reaching 35 mph. Secure anything loose outdoors, dress light, and carry rain gear if you are east of the interstate.Tuesday raises the stakes further. A cold front pushes in carrying a 70 percent chance of scattered thunderstorms, a damaging wind threat, and the potential for large hail. Tuesday morning commutes could be rough — expect heavy rain, reduced visibility, and gusty winds. Give yourself extra time and stay off flooded roads.Beyond the immediate threat, a week-long wet pattern is locked in through Sunday, with next week also looking unsettled. If you have outdoor plans mid-week or weekend, start building a backup plan now.The bright side: once the cold front clears midweek, highs drop into the 80s and lows ease into the 70s — a welcome cooldown after today's near-90 heat. Stay alert, stay informed, and keep that umbrella close all week.This episode includes AI-generated content.
