McKINNEY, Texas - A round of storms that blew through parts of North Texas overnight brought large, damaging hail.

In areas like Jack, Palo Pinto and Parker counties west of Fort Worth, people found golf ball and baseball-sized hail in their yards.

But that was just round one.

Another round of thunderstorms early Friday morning woke many people up in Collin County.

FOX 4 reporter Ashley Paredez said heavy rain started falling in McKinney around 5:30 a.m. and the temperature dropped along with it.

“If you’re going to be out and about, take your rain jacket at least for the morning. And if you are going to be driving, you’re gonna want to keep an eye on the roads because they are wet,” she said. “Be careful out there.”

Meteorologist Kylie Capps said the broken line of gusty storms is moving through the northern and northeastern counties. The main threats are heavy rain, lightning and wind gusts between 60 and 70 miles per hour.

The areas west of Interstate 35 will likely stay dry.
