Thunderstorms likely Thursday

The storm system that will likely bring storms to Northeast Texas should be weakening by the time it passes east of Interstate 35 corridor, forecasters say.

High winds, large hail and even tornadoes are possible with the front, though the greatest risk for severe weather is in the area northwest of Fort Worth, forecasters say.

The front is forecast to enter North Texas from the northwest early Thursday morning. Current predictions place the system's arrival in the Fort Worth area around 4 a.m. Thursday and in Northeast Texas around 7 a.m. Thursday.

National Weather Service meteorologists expect to revise forecasts as the system approaches North Texas.
