Tornado Watch east of DFW, Wind Advisory until 9 p.m. with elevated fire danger
A powerful storm system will bring a chance of strong to severe thunderstorms into Tuesday morning.
A potent storm system moved into North Texas early Tuesday morning setting off outdoor warning sirens and leaving behind damage. While the storms move east, wind and the possibility of wildfires remain for all of North Texas.
A TORNADO WATCH remains in effect for counties east of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex until 11 a.m. on Tuesday. Quick, spin-up tornadoes are possible along with scattered to severe wind gusts to 60 mph along with large hail.
Tuesday afternoon is expected to be dry as the storms move east into East Texas.
Make sure you have the NBC DFW app downloaded to stay ahead of the storm!
A Wind Advisory is in effect for North Texas, including Dallas and Fort Worth until 9 p.m. Tuesday. Expect winds from 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph or more.
Please secure all outdoor equipment. Unsecured outdoor items may be blown around in the wind. Driving on area roadways may become difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles. Also, small tree limbs could break and cause damage.
The strong winds and dropping relative humidity will elevate the threat of fire danger to much of North Texas. A Fire Weather Watch has been issued for areas along/south of I-20 and along/west of Highway 281, in Erath, Comanche and Hamilton counties.
The Texas A&M Forest Service is expecting extreme fire danger concerns from DFW to the west. The NWS said the fire threat will be at its maximum in areas where there was minimal rainfall earlier in the morning.
Humidity on Tuesday afternoon is expected to be between 15% and 20%. Strong winds are expected to develop between 20 and 30 mph behind the cold front with gusts to 45 mph.
Drivers are encouraged to avoid activities that could cause sparks, such as dragging towing chains, parking on tall grass, tossing cigarette butts onto dry grass or out of moving vehicles. North Texans are also encouraged to forgo burning trash or leaves.
