Severe weather threat for D-FW ends but flooding fears remain

A line of strong storms moved through North Texas Sunday night, bringing gusty winds, torrential downpours and widespread lightning along with flooding concerns that were expected to linger into Monday.

Although the fast-moving storm was moving south and east, Dallas and Tarrant counties remained under a Flood Warning until 3 a.m. Monday.

There were several reports throughout the night of impassable streets that were under water as the system pounded the area.

“Some locations that will experience flash flooding include Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Garland, Irving, Grand Prairie, Mesquite, Carrollton, Richardson, Lewisville, Flower Mound, Mansfield, Rowlett, Euless, Desoto, Bedford, Grapevine, Cedar Hill, Haltom City and Wylie,” the National Weather Service said.

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch remained in effect until 4 a.m. for several north central Texas counties, including Ellis, Hood, Johnson and Navarro counties.

At the height of the storm in Dallas-Fort Worth, several areas reported winds of up to 70 mph, thunder and drenching downpours.

No injuries were immediately reported and there were no immediate reports of storm damage in D-FW, but as of 1 a.m. Monday, nearly 88,000 electric customers were without power in North Texas, according to Oncor.

Storm moves in from the west

Earlier in the evening, parts of North Texas had been under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning , including Dallas, Tarrant, Kaufman, Rockwall and Hunt counties until 11 p.m., according to the National Weather Service. (Scroll down for live radar)

The weather service said a primary threat from the storm would be gusting winds.

A Tornado Warning was issued for Tarrant, Hood, Johnson and Parker counties until 11:45 p.m. It was allowed to expire early around 11:20 p.m., however.

There were unconfirmed reports earlier in the night of a tornado in southeastern Grayson County, which had been under a Tornado Warning until 10:15 p.m.

During the evening, a single cell storm prompted the weather service to issue a Severe Thunderstorm Warning that was in effect until 6:30 p.m. for southeastern Denton County, southwestern Collin County and northern Dallas County.

That was the first round before more turbulent weather was set to arrive late Sunday night.

Around 10 p.m., residents in several cities in Collin and Denton counties reported hearing weather alert sirens.

Forecasters had warned that the main threat would include damaging wind gusts exceeding 80 mph, large hail, localized flooding and even a few spin-up tornadoes. Spin-up tornadoes are brief, weaker tornadoes that can develop rapidly, making them hard to spot on a radar and even harder to warn about well in advance.

“Make sure you have multiple ways to receive warnings and a shelter plan for when a warning is issued for your location,” meteorologists wrote in the forecast.

The severe weather forecast resulted in delays at DFW International Airport Sunday night.
