The severe thunderstorm warning that affected parts of Tarrant County early Tuesday afternoon has expired, according to the National Weather Service.

Earlier: The National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for parts of Tarrant County until 7:45 p.m.

Gusts up to 60 mph are possible and could cause property damage, the weather service said, advising people to take shelter if necessary. Frequent cloud-to-ground lighting is expected.

“In these kinds of mid-summer, really hot days like this, storms just kind of develop and last about 30 minutes to an hour,” said Jason Godwin, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service. “They don’t usually track in from somewhere else.”
