Severe storms push toward North Texas as tornado watch expands
North Texas is under a First Alert Weather Day as strong storms move in from the west. A tornado watch is now in effect until 11 p.m. for several North Texas counties, with baseball‑size hail already reported near Abilene. The dryline is advancing east, and storms are expected to reach western North Texas over the next few hours. All severe hazards are possible tonight, and the flood threat continues into tomorrow.
