A round of scattered t-storms will likely develop this evening in parts of North Texas. Any storms that form could become severe with large hail and damaging winds the main threats. Today will be very spring-like! Most of the day will be dry, warm, and breezy. In fact, highs today will likely reach 80° or above. This will make for the warmest day so far this year, and perhaps the warmest day since late October last year! However, t-storms are still in the forecast this evening and into tonight. A "cap" will be in place most of today, which will keep things dry until this evening. By 6pm to 7pm, t-storms will start to form mainly across northeast North Texas. These will slowly drift south, and additional storms will form as well. These storms will carry a risk of becoming strong to severe with hail and wind the main threats. DFW AREA Scattered t-storms will be possible from around 7pm to midnight give or take. Any t-storms that form will be capable of becoming strong to severe. Not everyone will see storms this evening into tonight. Any storms will move out through the late night hours with a dry start to Monday. SEVERE RISK While any storms that form this evening and tonight will be capable of becoming strong to severe, not everyone will see severe storms. Isolated storms are possible for those in the "Marginal" risk area, and scattered storms are possible for those in the "Slight" risk area. Main threats with any severe storms are large hail and damaging winds. Hail of quarter size or larger is possible, perhaps up to golf ball size. Wind gusts could top 60mph, which is strong enough to be damaging. While this time of year the tornado threat is rarely zero, the tornado threat is low. I'm much more concerned with hail and strong winds.<doc-sep>Different parts of north Texas was pelted with hail Sunday evening as a number of thunderstorms moved through the region. A severe weather warning was issued by National Weather Service Fort Worth, Texas, for places like Fort Worth, Arlington, Irving, Grand Prairie, Euless, Bedford, Grapevine, Haltom City, Keller, Coppell, Hurst, Southlake, Watauga, Colleyville, Saginaw, Richland Hills, Eagle Mountain, North Richland Hills, Roanoke and Blue Mound. The warning lasted until 10:30 p.m. CDT (11:30 p.m. EDT). A hazardous weather outlook issued Sunday afternoon stated, “Thunderstorms are expected to develop late this afternoon and into the evening hours ahead of an advancing cold front. Areas that are both east of I-35 and north of I-20 are the most likely to be impacted by the storms this evening. Some of the storms may be severe with large hail and damaging winds the primary hazards. Although there may initially be discrete supercells near the boundary, veered surface flow and elevated cloud bases will limit the tornado potential.” “A line of thunderstorms may continue to impact portions of Central and East Texas during the Monday morning commute before exiting the region. Strong gusty winds and heavy rain will be the primary hazards with these storms,” the warning continued, adding that there were chances of thunderstorms later in the week, on Friday and Saturday. Residents of the area took to Twitter to share photos and videos of hail-covered homes and streets, as well as cars damaged by the hail. The storm system that was responsible for generating severe weather over the southern Plains on Friday, and massive hail in central Oklahoma on Saturday, brought the thunderstorm to Texas. There were reports of a confirmed tornado in Cadet, Missouri, around the same time that Texas was getting pelted with golf ball-sized hail. "The storm that spawned the tornado caused a number of reports of golf-ball sized and larger hail. The largest reported was 2.5 inches. That’s nearly baseball-sized," AccuWeather Meteorologist Frank Strait said. "Farther to the southwest, other storms in western Arkansas, eastern Oklahoma and North Texas have produced wind and hail damage,” he added. "The worst so far has been in Collin County, Texas, in and just south and west of McKinney. Baseball-sized hail was reported; it may have been even larger than that in a few places." Some of the adverse effects of thunderstorms included reduced visibility, ponding of water on the roadways and flooding of the river banks. There was also damage to several vehicles due to the hail. People were advised not to go outside as long as the severe weather lasted and to stay away from windows while taking shelter. According to Texas Power Outage map, around 500 people in the state were without electricity. There were no casualties reported.

The National Weather Service said the storms across the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex were fueled by a cold front that brought the risk of "large hail and damaging downburst winds." The largest hail reports came from the Collin, Denton, and Hopkins Counties located just outside of Dallas. “It was a good 30, 45 minutes of solid, getting smaller then bigger, golf ball size hail,” Frisco resident Marianne Ganow told FOX4. WOMAN CRUSHED BY LARGE LOG ON OREGON BEACH THAT WAS STRUCK BY 'SNEAKER WAVE' The NWS said a preliminary report of the severe hail shows that hailstones measured between 1 inch and 2 inches, with some greater sizes reported, too. "The largest reported hailstone occurred between Frisco and McKinney and was measured at 2.75 [inches] or about the size of a baseball!" the agency said. The storms left behind hail that blanketed neighborhoods, and had some people sharing videos on Twitter of the spring scene that resembled something "like a snowstorm." McKinney resident Ejae Dolor told KTVT that golf ball-sized hail broke her kitchen and car windows as it fell across the county. “At first you hear a little hail…then it just got worse,” Dolor told the television station. “The hail was getting bigger and bigger." MIDWEST, SOUTH FACE 'POTENTIALLY UNPRECEDENTED' FLOODING THROUGH MAY, NOAA SAYS The hailstorm also left numerous vehicles damaged. One family was seen by FOX4 scooping hail out of the backseat of a Toyota Camry that had its back window damaged. Authorities said that even with the wild weather, no injuries were reported.
