A tornado watch issued for the Dallas-Fort Worth area was cancelled Tuesday evening.
The watch was issued by the National Weather Service just after 4 p.m. for 27 counties in North and Central Texas. By 7:30 p.m., the watch only covered 16 counties, including Rockwall, Kaufman and Hunt counties. The watch is scheduled to expire at 11 p.m.

The area with the greatest threat for severe weather stretches from Paris to Killeen and from Palestine to Cisco, including Dallas-Fort Worth. The storms will be capable of producing large hail, strong winds and even tornadoes.

“The overall coverage will be limited, there’s probably only going to be a few of these storms that develop,” KXAS-TV (NBC5) meteorologist Grant Johnston said. “But if [the storms] do get going, they will likely be severe.”
The weather service expects the storms to clear just after 11 p.m.
Around 6 p.m., the weather service said quarter-sized hail was reported in in Saginaw and Haslet in Tarrant County as the storm moved in.
Around the same time, the weather service said a “potentially violent” tornado was detected west of Salado, about 55 miles north of Austin.
The weather service said the tornado was moving quickly toward Interstate 35, and urged people to take shelter in a room without windows.
Hail measuring more than 5 inches in diameter fell in Salado as the tornado blew through, KDFW-TV (Fox 4) reported.
A tornado in Bell County, about 150 miles south of Dallas, was confirmed by spotters around 7:30 p.m. The weather service said people in the areas of the tornado warning should seek shelter.
WFAA-TV (Channel 8) reported some storm damage in Ennis, about 35 miles south of Dallas. A portion of the roof of a Dairy Queen in the area was torn down. About 10 people were inside at the time but not injured, the outlet reported.
A fire marshal told WFAA that wind speeds of around 50 miles per hour were recorded as the storm moved through around 6 p.m.
North and Central Texas will remain under “hazardous weather outlook” through the weekend, the weather service said.
Another line of thunderstorms, damaging winds and hail is expected Wednesday morning especially south of Interstate 20 and east of Interstate 35, the weather service said.
Areas west of Interstate 35 will be at an elevated risk for wildfires by Wednesday afternoon, when the weather will be windy and dry, the weather service said.
A slight chance of thunderstorm remains Friday through Monday, the weather service said.
The weather service advised people to have multiple ways to receive weather alerts and plans for sheltering if severe weather hits.
