Severe storms are brewing across Texas throughout the weekend, potentially unleashing tornadoes and sizable hail.

The storms are mainly predicted for North Texas and some areas of Central Texas, as part of a broader weather system moving across the eastern half of the U.S.

Here’s what we know about this weekend’s weather.

What’s the weather forecast for Texas?

There’s a combination of severe weather events possible for North Texas this weekend.

“Storms are already ongoing and will increase in coverage through the afternoon,” the National Weather Service office in Fort Worth wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Large hail, damaging winds, tornadoes and flooding are all possible.”

Meteorologists in the Dallas-Fort Worth area have already issued tornado watches that extend from the Oklahoma-Texas border down to south of Waco through late Friday afternoon.

But it won’t end there. The greatest severe weather potential will be late Saturday evening into early Sunday morning, according to the NWS Fort Worth website.

“Large hail, damaging winds and a tornado or two will be possible,” the website states. “Additionally, the risk for flash flooding will increase Saturday night west of I-35 and once again through Sunday afternoon across East Texas. Given the potential for night-time flooding and severe weather, make sure you have all the necessary preparations completed before severe weather strikes!”

Anti-Israel activists sprayed fake blood on the door of Texas Congressman John Carter’s Georgetown office, he claimed on Monday.

“Free Gaza” was spray-painted in red on the ground in front of the door.

“Unhinged anti-Israel activists vandalized my Georgetown office. Let me make 2 things clear: my support for Israel is unwavering & your intimidation won’t work,” Carter wrote on social media.

“Secondly, the parties responsible will be found and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

An 18-year-old student is dead after being shot five to six times by another student outside Bowie High School in Texas.

In a press conference, Arlington Police Chief Al Jones and Arlington ISD Superintendent Dr. Matt Smith said that the shooting happened at the local public school around 2:50 p.m. Wednesday near a portable building outside.

The school was placed on lockdown just as students were about to be let out for the day.

When School Resource Officers arrived at the scene, they found the 18-year-old male student lying unresponsive on the ground with apparent gunshot wounds.

The student was immediately taken to a nearby hospital, but died while at the hospital.

Officers say the 17-year-old suspected shooter tried to run away from the school, but police found him near the campus and arrested him. He will be charged with murder once he is booked into Arlington City Jail, police said.

Families were told to reunite with their kids at a district building miles away from the campus hours after the shooting occurred.

Arlington police said they will share more information about the incident when it becomes available.

Chief Jones said the community “cannot tolerate this kind of violence.”

“Our hearts are with the entire Bowie High School community tonight,” Jones said. “We, as a community, cannot tolerate this kind of violence. Not in our neighborhoods and not in our schools. Violence is never the right answer. We will continue to work in lockstep with our partners at Arlington ISD to ensure our schools are safe spaces where students can learn.”

In a statement, Dallas ISD shared their condolences with the school district.

“Our deepest condolences to Bowie High School and the Arlington ISD community,” Dallas ISD said. “Sending thoughts, prayers, and heartfelt support during this difficult time.”
