First batch of storms are moving through North Texas Wednesday morning. The storms are under severe limits with heavy rain and lots of lightning. A secondary line is developing out west behind this batch.The storms will have the potential to be severe with damaging winds in excess of 60 mph and hail up to 1 inch in diameter. The overall tornado threat is low but not zero. Frequent lightning and heavy rain will also accompany the storms in the morning. This could increase the flood risk.
