Live Dallas weather: Tornado watch, damaging winds in North Texas

DALLAS – A tornado watch has been issued for North Texas until 11 a.m.

The National Weather Service in Fort Worth has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning just before 4 a.m. for Eastern Young County, Wise County, Jack County, Parker County and Palo Pinto County until 5 a.m.

Severe thunderstorms were located along a line extending from Loving to Graford to Strawn, moving east at 55 mph.

HAZARD…60 mph wind gusts and penny-size hail.

The severe thunderstorm warning for Montague and northwest Cooke Counties until 4:45 a.m.

A large part of Texas is expected to see temperatures dip below freezing. Throughout the rest of winter, you will hear meteorologists use terms like warning, watch and advisory, but what do they mean?

This squall line is blowing up to the west and is racing NE.

We expect severe storms to be in the Metroplex from 5-7 a.m. The most active weather will last until about 10 a.m.

The main risks are still high winds, and brief spin-up tornadoes on wavy line segments.

To report an outage, text OUT to 66267, call 888-313-4747, use the MyOncor app, or select “Report an Outage” located above the map.

A Wind Advisory is in effect until 9 p.m. Tuesday.

West to Southwest winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph are expected.

All of North and Central Texas will be affected.

Unsecured outdoor items may be blown around in the wind. Driving on area roadways may become difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles. Small tree limbs could break and cause damage.

A Wind Advisory means that sustained winds of at least 20 to 30 mph are expected. Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Residents may wish to take action to secure trash cans, lawn furniture, and other lightweight outdoor objects that may be blown around in the strong winds.

Later in the morning into early afternoon, it will turn mainly sunny and very windy. WSW winds could gust to 40-45 mph as very dry air races in, and temps rebound into the low 70s. We could see dust blow as well.

A second cold front sweeps through late day, so winds will shift again along with a few clouds. By Wednesday morning, we’ll be in the 40s with a bit of a wind chill too.

Wednesday will be SUNNY and cool with highs near 60. Diminishing winds will make for a nice early March afternoon.

After a chilly start on Thursday, we’ll rebound into the 60s as south winds start to increase. Sunday will yield to some afternoon cloudiness but otherwise fairly quiet.

Friday will see another SHIFT in the winds. Clouds in the morning will turn to sun as winds become westerly and temps should jump back into the 70s. Fairly warm end to the week.

Ready for another big change? That happens on Saturday. A cold front Friday night will cool us down. At the same time, an upper-level system will race across Texas from the west. That means mainly cloudy skies and a chance for a few showers. With a north wind, we’ll struggle to get out of the 50s in most areas.

That system exits on Saturday night as we turn the clocks forward. By Sunday morning, we’ll have lows in the 30s and even a light freeze possible in northern areas before sunshine helps push us back into the 60s.
