Happy Tuesday!
It's First Alert Weather Day as the team tracks the potential for two rounds of strong to severe storms.
The first round develops ahead of a dryline with isolated storms in the Northwest areas starting around 3 p.m. and moving into the Metroplex closer to 6 p.m. - 9 p.m.
The hail threat will be highest with these initial discrete cells, but not everyone will be impacted by the first round.
While the tornado threat is low, it is not zero.
The severity and coverage of the first round of storms will impact the second round.
Right now, the second round is expected to arrive late Tuesday night ahead of a cold front with mainly a damaging wind threat, but some hail is also possible.
This round will be more widespread and impact most of North Texas.
The most likely window in the Metroplex is around 9 p.m. - 3 a.m.
Localized flooding is also a concern, especially in areas that received heavy rain over the weekend.
Storms will weaken as they move east towards daybreak on Wednesday.
The front stalls east of I-35 and will continue scattered shower chances during the day from DFW east.
These are not expected to be severe.
Before the storms on Tuesday night, it will be warm and muggy with highs in the upper 80s, but it will feel like the 90s due to the humidity.
Wednesday will be a cooler day behind the front with highs in the lower 80s.
The First Alert Weather Team will be watching for a complex of storms to ride along the Red River early Thursday morning, then clearing out for a warm afternoon.
Friday is our next break in the storms before they return over the weekend.
Stay with the First Alert Weather Team on-air and on stream for the latest updates.

Plan for new Maryland recycling plant moves forward, despite pushback
The proposal for a controversial plastic recycling plant in Howard County's River Hill neighborhood is moving forward, despite community frustrations. The Maryland Department of the Environment recently approved a permit to construct the facility. The permit allows W.R. Grace & Co. to build a pilot plastic recycling plant for research. The plant will sit near residential communities including River Hill and Cedar Creek in Columbia. Over the past two years, neighbors pushed back against the proposal. A group called Stop the Grace Project has led much of the opposition. Hundreds signed an online petition calling on local leaders to stop the project. Residents fear the plant could bring pollution and increase health risks. Some worry about toxic leaks, fires and long-term damage to air and water quality. The Howard County Council previously considered a zoning change to prohibit plastic incineration in residential areas, but it was voted down in March. W.R. Grace has said the facility will not burn plastic. Instead, the company says it will focus on developing safer and more effective recycling methods. WJZ reached out to the Maryland Department of the Environment. The agency said the permit meets legal air emission standards. "Protecting the health of nearby residents is our top priority," MDE said in a statement. Howard County residents voice concerns of proposed recycling plant While W.R. Grace and Co. told WJZ that the plant will introduce a new and safe and more efficient way to recycle plastic, many residents still say they don't want the plant near their neighborhoods. In Nov. 2024, Howard County residents from Columbia's River Hill and Cedar Creek communities went before board members to plead for a recommendation that would require an 1,800-foot buffer in certain scenarios between new research and development facilities and residential areas. Again in February 2025 at a Howard County Council meeting, residents voiced their concerns about the plant. "There's still a danger of an explosion. And why is it so close to residential?" Boyd said. "So even if every case they are making is true, why not build it away from communities?," a resident told WJZ. Other residents are worried about the chemical emissions. W.R. Grace & Co. told WJZ that the plant will not burn plastic, but will be to study a potentially game-changing innovation for recycling plastic that is safe and effective. "With this new project, we will not burn plastic, as some who misunderstand our project and our intentions have asserted. Rather, we are studying a potentially game-changing innovation for recycling plastic – a safe and effective way to solve a problem facing us all," the company said.
