North Texas will be sitting in the warm, humid airmass ahead of the dryline and south of the front, in an area prime for severe weather. A disturbance will also be passing overhead on Wednesday, increasing the severe threat, including the risk of tornadoes.

Strong to severe storms are possible in North Texas this weekend, bringing a wet and rainy start to Easter weekend.

Some East Coast storms are called nor’easters because winds from the northeast create them, explains the National Weather Service. The strongest storms usually occur from September to April, but they can happen anytime. Earlier in 2019, a May storm dropped rain from New Jersey to North Carolina.
