A line of strong storms moved through North Texas Sunday night, bringing gusty winds, torrential downpours and widespread lightning, along with flooding concerns that were expected to linger into Monday.
Although the fast-moving weather was moving south and east, Dallas and Tarrant counties remained under a flood warning until 3 a.m. Monday.
There were several reports throughout the night of streets that were under water as the system pounded the area.
“Some locations that will experience flash flooding include Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Garland, Irving, Grand Prairie, Mesquite, Carrollton, Richardson, Lewisville, Flower Mound, Mansfield, Rowlett, Euless, DeSoto, Bedford, Grapevine, Cedar Hill, Haltom City and Wylie,” the National Weather Service said.
A severe thunderstorm watch remained in effect until 4 a.m. for several north central Texas counties, including Ellis, Hood, Johnson and Navarro counties.
At the height of the storm in Dallas-Fort Worth, several areas reported winds of up to 70 mph, thunder and drenching downpours.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or storm damage in D-FW, but nearly 88,000 electricity customers in North Texas were without power as of 1 a.m. Monday, according to Oncor.
Storm moves in from the west
Earlier, parts of North Texas had been under a severe thunderstorm warning until 11 p.m., including Dallas, Tarrant, Kaufman, Rockwall and Hunt counties, according to the National Weather Service.
The weather service said gusting winds would be a primary threat from the storm.
A tornado warning was issued for Tarrant, Hood, Johnson and Parker counties until 11:45 p.m., but it was allowed to expire early around 11:20 p.m.
Earlier in the night, there were unconfirmed reports of a tornado in southeastern Grayson County, which had been under a tornado warning until 10:15 p.m.
During the evening, a single-cell storm prompted the weather service to issue a severe thunderstorm warning in effect until 6:30 p.m. for southeastern Denton County, southwestern Collin County and northern Dallas County.
That was the first round before more turbulent weather was to arrive late Sunday night.
Around 10 p.m., residents in several cities in Collin and Denton counties reported hearing weather alert sirens.

Forecasters had warned that the main threat would include damaging wind gusts exceeding 80 mph, large hail, localized flooding and even a few spin-up tornadoes. Spin-up tornadoes are brief, weaker tornadoes that can develop rapidly, making them hard to spot on a radar and even harder to warn about in advance.
“Make sure you have multiple ways to receive warnings and a shelter plan for when a warning is issued for your location,” meteorologists wrote in the forecast.
The severe weather forecast resulted in delays at DFW International Airport Sunday night.
According to the Federal Aviation istration’s website, gate hold and taxi delays of up to 30 minutes were being reported. Delays of up to 30 minutes were also being reported at Dallas Love Field, according to the FAA website.
engers were urged to check with their carrier if they were planning to travel through either North Texas airport Sunday night into Monday.
The unsettled weather pattern will linger into the work week, with chances for additional storms — including the potential for another bout of severe conditions Wednesday and Thursday.
Afternoon temperatures will also be cooler, peaking in the 80s each day.
