DALLAS, Texas The National Weather Service is investigating storm damage in North Dallas that may have been caused by a weak tornado that briefly touched down Sunday.
The damage in question is along Northaven Rd., near North Haven Gardens, just west of US-75.
The area is all too familiar with storm damage after multiple houses were torn to shreds in October 2019 when ten tornadoes danced across Dallas, causing more than a billion dollars in damage.
Twitter Showers and thunderstorms continue today. This morning will mostly consist of moderate to heavy rain with a flooding threat. A round of strong to severe storms will arrive from the west later this evening and tonight.
Overnight thunderstorms brought more rain to an already saturated North Texas and more rain is expected every day this week.
According to the National Weather Service, there s an 80% chance of rain Monday for the region, with severe thunderstorms possible overnight. Locally heavy rainfall and lightning will be the main threats, but the stronger storms could produce large hail and gusty winds.
Widespread thunderstorms kick up again on Tuesday, some of which could be severe, with heavy rain expected Tuesday night that will likely result in flash flooding.
The National Weather Service said two tornadoes touched down in Dallas County during a round of severe weather on Sunday. According to the NWS in Fort Worth, its survey team found two separate areas of damage in north Dallas County from the Sunday afternoon storms. One EF0 tornado with winds up to 75 mph hit near University Park, according to the NWS. Another EF1 tornado with winds up to 90 mph hit near Northaven Road, west of US 75. Three other.
