Most of the severe thunderstorm warnings issued Sunday afternoon have expired but more storms could still impact North Texas, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth.
A tornado watch issued Sunday afternoon remains in effect for Dallas and North Texas until 11 p.m.
The severe weather moving across Dallas-Fort Worth could include possible tornadoes, wind gusts up to 70 mph and large hail, according to the weather service.
“It’s active across the region now but we aren’t done for the day/evening,” a 4 p.m. update from the weather service said. “More storms will develop and move east over the next few hours.”

“The forecast could change pretty quickly,” Jason Dunn, a meteorologist for the weather service in Fort Worth said Saturday. “It’s one of those events where you have to kind of keep an eye on everything.”
Dunn said North Texans should be prepared and have ways to receive warnings about the potential severe weather.
Shortly before 7 p.m., the National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm warning for parts of Denton, Parker, Wise and Tarrant counties. The warning is set to expire at 7:45 p.m. Cities affected by the warning included Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, Denton, Coppell and Southlake.
The weather service earlier on Sunday issued a severe storm warning cities near Dallas, including Fort Worth, Arlington and Irving, saying the storms would “contain golf ball-sized hail!” The warning expired at 4:15 p.m.
A similar warning issued for Plano, McKinney and Carrollton also expired at 5 p.m. A severe thunderstorm warning had also been issued for areas northeast of Dallas-Fort Worth, including parts of Collin and Hunt counties.
Tornado sirens could be heard in parts of Dallas and Tarrant counties Sunday afternoon.
Juan Hernandez, a meteorologist at NWS Fort Worth, said late Sunday afternoon the agency received reports of quarter- to golf-ball-sized hail in areas just north of Dallas-Fort Worth, including in Irving.
The National Weather Service is not ruling out the possibility of more storms, which could hit North Texas around 7 p.m., Hernandez said.
Storms caused cancellations and delays at DFW International Airport and Love Field, according to flightaware. As of 6 p.m., 9% of incoming and outgoing flights were canceled and more than 570 were delayed. At Love Field, 7% of the flights were delayed and more than 100 flights were canceled.
Gov. Greg Abbott on Sunday announced he had activated state emergency resources — including those related to search and rescue, as well as medical transport — in response to severe weather expected this week.
Severe weather is expected in north, east and central Texas from Sunday afternoon through Tuesday, Abbott said.
The “active” weather will continue through the week, with daily chances for showers and storms along with the threat of grassfires generally west of Interstate 35. It is expected to be abnormally hot, with temperatures Monday and Tuesday in the high 80s and 90s, according to the weather service.
Chances for storms will increase later in the week with an expected cold front blowing in late Tuesday or early Wednesday. Some of those storms could be capable of producing strong winds and hail, the weather service said.
Temperatures Wednesday through Friday are expected to fall, with highs in the mid-60s to low 70s.
