Get ready for another round of storm chances this afternoon. Friday brought three big storms with large hail, strong winds, and even a tornado warning close to Corsicana. Today’s set up is similar to yesterday which is why today is a First Alert Weather Day.

A dryline out west and warm, unstable air will fuel isolated but intense storms Saturday afternoon and evening. While coverage will be limited, any storms that do form could pack a punch—expect the potential for large hail, strong wind gusts, and even an isolated tornado.

Timing: Starts west and moves east and looks to initiate around 3 or 4 pm and last until about 9 to 10 pm

Sunday brings another storm chance, but dynamics shift a bit. It’s looking like storms might be weaker, more isolated, and possibly staying north.

Looking ahead to Monday: another First Alert Weather Day with storm chances increasing Monday afternoon and evening, and while the details are still coming together, the threats look familiar: hail, strong winds, and lower-end tornado risk.

Here’s the good news: A cold front arrives Tuesday morning, sweeping out the storm threat and dialing temps back into the mid-80s. Maybe even cooler temperatures in the 50s to wake up to on Thursday morning. That sets us up for a beautiful, dry second half of the week, with sunshine and gradually warming temps back into the 90s by the weekend.
