A significant severe weather setup is likely this evening across North Texas, eastern Texoma, and Northeast Texas, with a Level 4 risk near the Red River into Northeast Texas and a Level 3 risk farther north into the DFW area. The main threats are very large hail (4-5 inches), damaging winds (70-80 mph), and a tornado risk, especially near the Red River.
