An upper level disturbance brings the potential for strong thunderstorms to portions of Northeast Texas early Friday morning.

According to information from the National Weather Service in Ft. Worth, strong to severe storms will be possible overnight, mainly near the Red River. This activity could potentially affect Lamar, Fannin, Collin, Grayson and Hunt counties. The greatest threats from any strong storms would be large hail and damaging winds. Rain is also likely to continue through the day Friday.

KETR will be monitoring the situation, and bring you updates on air in the event of a severe weather outbreak.
