Tornado Watch Issued for the Texas Panhandle and West Texas until 9 PM

The first severe weather watch of the day has been issued as we begin a fall severe weather event. The National Weather Service has issued a tornado watch for the Texas Panhandle, South Plains, and the Rolling Plains until 9 PM CT. Initial thunderstorm development is expected in the next two hours, with the possibility of discrete supercells. Large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes are all threats with this initial activity. By early evening, we should see a squall line take shape and move east into Northwest Texas and the Big Country before taking aim at locations further east late tonight. Additional severe weather watches are expected later today and tonight for locations east of the current watch zone. Stay weather aware!
