North Texas could be in for several days of severe thunderstorms this week with hail, damaging winds and tornadoes being the primary threats.

Severe weather chances begin Tuesday afternoon and will increase going into Wednesday and Thursday, said Patricia Sanchez, meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Fort Worth office.

Isolated storms may develop along a dryline across the region over Tuesday, bringing threats of hail. Storms are likely to begin Tuesday afternoon around 3 p.m. in West Texas and then move eastward into the Metroplex by 9 p.m.

For Dallas-Fort Worth proper, Sanchez said storms Tuesday will be “hit-or-miss.”

“Most of us will stay dry,” Sanchez said. “As always keep an eye on the sky.”

Going into Wednesday and Thursday, a combination of a dryline and slow moving cold front will bring more scattered and widespread storms to the Metroplex.

Storm chances will begin around 3 p.m. Wednesday and continue through at least midnight, Sanchez said. The main threat for these storms will be hail, damaging winds and possible tornadoes.

Around the same time on Thursday afternoon, storms return to the Metroplex bringing possible threats of hail, damaging winds and tornadoes.

“It looks like its shaping up to be an active period,” Sanchez said.

Throughout the severe weather this week, temperatures will stay warm.

The high on Tuesday and Wednesday will stay in the low 90s, followed by the high 80s on Thursday. Going into the weekend, high temperatures are expected to stay in the mid-90s for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

While the increase in summer-like temperatures may seem like spring storms are over, Sanchez said North Texas isn’t out of the woods yet.

“At least through the next 10 days, we’ll still have some low rain chances,” she said.
