The threat of severe weather is over for North Texas. There may be a few showers moving through during Tuesday morning's commute, but no storms are expected with this front.
As of late Monday evening, temperatures were still in the 70s, but temperatures will fall in the upper 50s as a cold front moves in from the north Tuesday morning.
With some sunshine in the afternoon, temperatures Tuesday and on into Wednesday will warm into the upper 60s. There's a chance for more rain on Wednesday as a warm front moves into the area.
On Thursday, another cold front will move into North Texas and severe storms are possible once again. The timing of that front varies from the different models, but it appears Thursday afternoon is the time frame we will be watching for more severe weather.
RECAP OF MONDAY'S STORMS
Officials in the City of Burleson said the outdoor warning siren system was activated at 3:23 p.m. The emergency management coordinator for the City of Burleson snapped a photo of what looks like a tornado touching down near FM 731 South.
Burleson schools were in "duck and cover" mode, according to a spokesperson for BISD. Students were not allowed out of the building, but parents were able to come inside for protection.
The rain also caused Dallas Independent School District officials to cancel all athletic activities.
At about 3:30 p.m. Johnson County emergency dispatchers told CBS 11 News that rotation in the clouds was spotted near Joshua.
Dispatch supervisor Donna Young said several mobile homes had been flipped over and damaged in the area. The storm also downed several power lines. No injuries have been reported.
Earlier, Doppler radar indicated that a tornado was located near Godley, in Johnson County. Godley is southwest of Burleson.
Video from Chopper 11 found an SUV in a creek bed along SH-380, just west of McKinney.
Golf-ball sized hail was reported and photographed from all over North Texas. Click here to see the photos.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WATCH AND WARNING
A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for a tornado. A Tornado Warning is issued when a person on the ground has spotted a tornado or Doppler radar indicates a tornado.
If you are in the area covered by the Tornado Warning, go to a safe room of your home. The safest place is an interior room away from exterior walls and windows.
THANKS FOR THE VIDEOS AND PICTURES I want to thank all of our CBS 11 Skytrackers who sent in pictures and video to us. They are a tremendous help in confirming what we are seeing on the radar. We always welcome pictures and video at CBS11TV.com
