Severe storms left thousands of people in north Texas without power on Sunday night as a week of dangerous downpours begins.

Sunday night/Monday morning storms have cleared across most of North Texas. Much of the day will be quiet and drier. Expect a mix of sunshine and clouds with a light north wind. Highs will be lower than yesterday, in the 80s. Don't get too comfortable, more storms are in the forecast.

A cold front is likely to remain stalled over Central Texas to start the workweek, bringing a chance of thunderstorms that could be severe Monday night into Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service in Dallas/Fort Worth. Impact areas are likely to be between the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and Austin.

A line of strong storms moved into North Texas Sunday night, bringing gusty winds of up to 65 mph, torrential downpours and the risk of hail. Parts of North Texas were under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning ,

Major hazards possible for the DFW area Sunday night into Monday morning include winds of up to 80 mph or more, plus hail of 1.5 inches or more, spin-up tornadoes and localized flooding. (Hail of 1.5 inches is similar to the size of a ping pong ball, according to the NWS .)

Our neighbors to the north have a stormy night ahead of them. Our sister station, WFAA, is tracking the severe weather as it moves through Dallas-Fort Worth.

A stalled out front will continue to provide lift leading to storm chances this week along with below normal temperatures. Some severe weather may be possible at times.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has directed additional emergency response resources in anticipation for Sunday evening’s severe weather.
