DALLAS, TEXAS — An active dryline firing late Sunday afternoon out in West Texas is pushing scattered showers and thunderstorms eastward toward the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex Sunday evening into the overnight hours, with radar showing storm activity spreading across Fort Worth, Dallas, Plano, Denton, and Greenville by 10:00 PM Sunday May 17.
Additional storms are expected to develop Monday as a stronger disturbance moves in ahead of an approaching frontal boundary, with rain and storm chances increasing further Monday into Tuesday and the potential for locally heavy rainfall across the region.
Dryline Storms Moving East Reaching Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex Sunday Night
Forecasters have been watching the dryline become active during the late Sunday afternoon hours across West Texas, generating the initial round of storm activity that is now tracking eastward toward the populated Dallas-Fort Worth corridor.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are arriving through the Sunday evening and overnight hours, with radar valid at 10:00 PM Sunday May 17 showing heavy storm cells concentrated near Fort Worth, Dallas, Plano, and extending northeast toward Greenville and Bonham.
Residents across the entire metroplex including Denton, Plano, Terrell, and surrounding communities should expect unsettled and stormy conditions to persist through the overnight hours as the West Texas dryline storms continue pushing east.
Stronger Disturbance Brings Additional Storm Development Monday Across North Texas
The Sunday night storm activity is only the beginning of an extended unsettled stretch for North Texas, as a stronger atmospheric disturbance is expected to move into the region Monday ahead of an approaching frontal boundary.
Monday’s storm development is forecast to be more organized than Sunday’s initial dryline-driven activity, with the frontal boundary providing additional lift and moisture to fuel storm growth across the Dallas-Fort Worth region and surrounding North Texas communities.
Rain and storm chances are set to increase noticeably through Monday as the stronger disturbance takes hold and the frontal system advances closer to the region.
Locally Heavy Rainfall Possible Monday Into Tuesday as Storm Chances Increase
Beyond Monday’s additional storm development, rain and storm chances are forecast to continue increasing into Tuesday, bringing the potential for locally heavy rainfall accumulations across portions of North Texas over a multi-day period.
The combination of Sunday night’s dryline storms, Monday’s frontal disturbance activity, and continued storm chances into Tuesday creates a prolonged wet stretch for the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and surrounding areas including Waco, Clifton, and communities across central and north Texas.
Residents across the Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, and Denton areas should remain weather aware through at least Tuesday and monitor for updates regarding locally heavy rainfall potential as the storm pattern evolves. Stay with GordonRamsayClub.com for the latest updates.
