A Tornado Watch has been issued for the majority of North Texas, including D-FW, until 10 p.m.

A line of storms will move across North Texas Thursday afternoon through Thursday evening. 

For D-FW, the best chance for storms will be between 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Damaging winds, large hail, and a few tornadoes will be possible as the line of storms moves through.
