Tornado Watch Issued Until 9 PM

The Storm Prediction Center has issued a tornado watch for North Texas, Northwest Texas, and the Big Country until 9 PM. This watch does include the DFW Metroplex. Even though we’ve had widespread precipitation this morning, the atmosphere is quickly recovering and will support an enhanced severe weather threat through late this evening. The strongest storms will be capable of producing hail larger than baseballs, destructive straight line winds up to 70 MPH, and tornadoes. Any storms that interact with boundaries from this morning’s storms will have an elevated tornado risk. Stay weather aware!
