COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS — A brief stronger storm cell was tracked moving northeast from Prosper through McKinney toward Melissa in Collin County, Texas as of 10:38 AM on May 8, 2026. Radar updated at 10:31 AM showed an intense core with red and yellow returns concentrated near Prosper and the Dallas North Tollway corridor, with the storm tracking northeast through McKinney toward Melissa. Very spotty and isolated storm coverage is expected for the remainder of the day across the broader North Texas region.
What the Radar Showed at 10:38 AM
The radar image captured at 10:38 AM on May 8, 2026 showed a clearly defined and organized storm cell with a strong core of heavy rainfall concentrated near Prosper and the Dallas North Tollway interchange. The most intense returns on radar, shown in deep red and yellow, were positioned directly over the Prosper area with the storm’s track lifting northeast toward McKinney and continuing toward Melissa.
Surrounding communities including Celina to the northwest, Frisco and Little Elm to the south, and Allen and Lucas to the southeast were on the edges of the storm’s activity as the cell pushed through the region during the late morning hours.
Storm Tracking Northeast Through Collin County
The storm’s northeast track carried it from its initial position over Prosper along the Dallas North Tollway corridor through the heart of McKinney and continuing toward Melissa near the Collin County border. Communities along that northeast track including Weston and Anna also sat within the broader area of storm activity as the cell moved through the region.
The brief but stronger nature of the cell meant that its most intense activity was concentrated over a relatively small area at any given time, with the heaviest rain and strongest conditions moving through each community quickly as the storm tracked northeast.
What to Expect for the Rest of the Day
Beyond this brief stronger cell tracking through Prosper, McKinney, and Melissa, storm coverage across North Texas is expected to be very spotty and isolated for the remainder of the day on May 8, 2026. Residents across the broader Dallas Fort Worth metroplex and surrounding communities should not expect widespread or organized storm activity through the afternoon and evening hours following this morning’s brief stronger cell.
