Tornado WATCH Posted for Western & West Central Texas until 10pm

A Tornado WATCH has been posted for parts of northwest and west central Texas until 10pm this evening.  This includes the following counties:  Archer, Baylor, Callahan, Clay, Eastland, Fisher, Foard,Hardeman, Haskell, Jack, Jones, Knox, Montague, Nolan, Palo Pinto, Parker, Shackelford, Stephens, Taylor, Throckmorton, Wichita, Wilbarger, Wise, and Young.  This does NOT include the DFW metroplex.

Isolated storm development has already begun across this region ahead of the dryline.  While we do expect that development to remain isolated and not widespread, these storms will be tapping into a great deal of atmospheric instability and will likely become severe very rapidly with a very large hail threat.  A couple of tornadoes is also not out of the question.  Stay weather aware this evening if you live or travel through this region of the state!
