Severe, isolated storms with threats of large hail and damaging wind gusts may develop in North Texas on Wednesday, NWS Fort Worth posted on X. There is also a slight threat of a tornado, according to NWS Fort Worth. The storms are expected to materialize east of Interstate 35 in the Dallas-Fort Worth area on Wednesday afternoon and evening.

A “potent” weather system will enter North and Central Texas on Wednesday, steering the development of a dryline, according to the National Weather Service Fort Worth. A dryline is the boundary separating dry and moist air masses, where severe thunderstorms often develop.

As red flag warnings crop up across wide swathes of West and North Texas this week, a section east of Dallas-Fort Worth could see another kind of risk on Wednesday afternoon: punishing severe storms.

One person has died and at least four others were injured when severe storms rolled through North Texas on Saturday morning, officials said. According to the Ennis Police Department, a 42-year-old man from Midlothian was killed when Ennis "experienced a severe weather incident this morning."

Severe storms that brought large hail to parts of North Texas on Saturday, March 8, hospitalized four people, damaged homes and knocked down power lines and trees, officials said. The Ellis County Sheriff’s Office said on social media that the storms caused significant damage in the area.

Wednesday will be another warmer-than-average day across North Texas with sunny skies. A First Alert Weather Day is in effect today for a red flag warning and the low chance of isolated storms in the late afternoon.
