Active Weather Next Week

April 19th Tornadoes

Ongoing showers and thunderstorms will continue south and east across the Red River into portions of North Texas. Sea breeze activity will gradually push north as well through the afternoon, leading to isolated storms across Central Texas. Overnight, dry line activity may attempt to push into our western counties as well. No severe weather is expected with any of this activity.

Additional storm chances are expected on Saturday as another complex of thunderstorms approaches the area. This activity should be on a weakening trend, but if the storms are able to maintain their intensity, we can't rule out isolated damaging wind gusts. Make sure you stay weather-aware if you have any outdoor plans. A few storms may linger Saturday night, but rain-free weather is expected on Sunday with high temperatures in the 80s.

Additional storm chances are expected Monday through Wednesday next week. There will be a threat for strong to severe storms each day, especially Tuesday, but specific hazards and threat areas are uncertain at this time. Continue to monitor the forecast as these details come to light over the next few days! Otherwise, high temperatures will be in the 70s and 80s with morning lows in the 60s.

As of now, we can confirm 10 tornadoes that occurred the evening and night of April 19th. These tornadoes were west of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, and extended from Erath County up into Montague County. Fortunately, no injuries or loss of life were reported due to these storms. Additional damage is being reviewed for potentially adding additional tornadoes to the current total. Look for these updates in the coming days.
