Isolated storms are possible in North Texas Saturday evening, according to the forecast

The National Weather Service says isolated to isolated storms are possible across parts of North Texas Saturday evening, with the primary threat being hail and lightning.

The forecast followed severe thunderstorms and showers that swept across the Dallas-Fort Worth area in the morning.

Southeast Texas, particularly the Houston area, also experienced severe storms and tornadoes on Saturday.

One person died and four people were injured in Brazoria County, south of Houston, the Associated Press reported. Around ten houses were also damaged.

The NWS has also issued a tornado warning for this region until 9 p.m. Saturday, saying numerous strong tornadoes are expected and gusts of up to 80 mph are also likely. It is also said that hail of up to two inches in size is possible.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott activated state emergency resources earlier this week, citing an increased risk of severe weather.

“As Texans and out-of-state visitors begin traveling after the Christmas holiday, it is critical that everyone regularly monitor road conditions, prepare an emergency plan and follow guidance from state and local officials,” Abbott said in a message dated March 26. Release December.

The NWS tornado watch covers portions of Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi, home to nearly 2.4 million people.
