Midweek Storm Threat Puts Benbrook on Alert.

Benbrook residents may want to keep phones charged and weather alerts turned on over the next couple of nights.

According to the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center, a 20-50% chance of severe weather is setting up across Northwestern North Texas from late Tuesday night through early Friday morning. Forecasters say scattered showers and a few storms are expected, with the best chances generally along and north of I-20.

While much of Central Texas is expected to stay dry, our area sits in a marginal risk zone, meaning storms may be isolated but still capable of producing substantial impacts.

A cold front is expected to move through on Friday, bringing cooler, more seasonable temperatures just in time for the weekend.

This is not a reason to panic, but it is a good reminder to stay weather aware overnight, especially if you are a light sleeper or have outdoor items that could be affected by strong winds or hail.
