DFW Weather Alert: Saturday Morning Severe Storms with Large Hail Potential

Overnight and Early Saturday Storms

• ⚠️ A WFAA Weather Alert Day is in effect from 4:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. Saturday for North Texas.
• ⚡ The primary threat is large hail, potentially up to the size of golf balls, with scattered storms developing overnight.
• 🚫 These storms are elevated, meaning they are not rooted to the surface, so there is no concern for tornadoes or damaging winds.

Hail Size and Distribution

• 🎯 Hail size could range from quarter-sized to golf ball-sized in some areas southwest of the Metroplex.
• 📍 While storms are expected, not every thunderstorm will produce hail, and not all hail will be golf ball-sized.
• 📈 The highest risk for hail is concentrated in the early morning hours.

Saturday Afternoon and Beyond

• 🌧️ By 8:00 a.m., the severe threat will diminish, leaving scattered rain and drizzle throughout the day.
• 🌦️ Some thunderstorms east of the Metroplex on Saturday afternoon could still have hail, but the main threat will shift east of Dallas-Fort Worth.
• 🌡️ High temperatures on Saturday are expected to be in the low 50s, with about a quarter to half an inch of rain accumulation.

Extended Forecast

• ☀️ The beginning of the week (Monday, Tuesday) will be quieter with highs in the mid to upper 70s.
• ⛈️ Another chance for storms is expected on Wednesday with a high of 80°, and again next Friday with a high of 82°.
