While quarter-sized hail and strong winds are the main threats, humid air from the Gulf creates a slight tornado risk in areas south of DFW, near Palestine and Corsicana.
Heavy fog is also impacting parts of the metroplex this morning.
Conditions will improve by the evening, with temperatures warming to the low 70s on Friday.
