The National Weather Service Fort Worth Dallas warns that a flash flood warning could become relevant as strong to severe thunderstorms may develop Friday afternoon through Friday night.
Forecasters say storms could produce large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes, with the greatest threat along and north of Highway 380.
The NWS notes there is uncertainty in storm coverage Friday afternoon and asks residents to continue checking the forecast as confidence improves over the next couple of days.
Ahead of that system, a few showers and storms are possible today, especially near the Red River during the morning hours, and any stronger storm could produce lightning and gusty winds.
Secondary Outlook And Preparedness
Temperatures will run above normal, generally in the mid 70s to mid 80s, with breezy southerly winds expected, and wind speeds between 10 and 20 miles per hour with gusts of 20 to 30 miles per hour.
The NWS advises the active weather pattern will continue into the weekend and into early next week, bringing daily chances for showers and thunderstorms across the region.
Forecasters add there is another potential for severe weather on Tuesday, and they say the threat for flooding is expected to increase over the weekend with each round of showers and thunderstorms.
The agency encourages ongoing monitoring of forecasts and local products as the situation evolves and confidence in timing and coverage increases.
Local outreach includes the Bosque County Severe Weather Education course scheduled for Tuesday March 10th from 6 to 8 PM at the Cliftex Theatre in Clifton, which the NWS says is free and open to the public with no registration required.
