NORTH TEXAS (CBSNewsTexas.com) – A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for much of North Texas, including the Metroplex, until 1 a.m. Monday morning.
A watch means that conditions are favorable for severe storms to develop.
Your CBS News Texas First Alert Weather Team is tracking a cold front sliding through North Texas Sunday into Monday.
The front will likely produce a round of scattered showers and thunderstorms. Some storms could produce gusty winds, large hail and heavy rain. Localized flooding is possible.
Turn around, don’t drown.
It’s also a good idea to secure any loose items in your yard due to the gusty winds expected.

Otherwise, expect mostly cloudy skies tonight with lows in the low to mid 70s.
On Monday, a few early morning showers and storms are possible. But with the front sliding slowly south through the day early to mid-afternoon, an isolated shower or storm will be possible.
