Severe Thunderstorm, Tornado Alerts Impacting North and Southeast Texas

Severe weather warnings, including tornado alerts and severe thunderstorm watches, have been issued across North Texas and parts of San Antonio due to significant storm activity expected to cause damage and hazards. Wind gusts of up to 60 mph and hail up to quarter size are predicted, along with widespread rainfall totals between 1 to 3 inches and isolated areas possibly reaching 5 inches, leading to active flood watches through Saturday. Residents are advised to seek shelter in sturdy buildings, avoid windows, and remain vigilant for rapidly changing weather conditions, especially in low-lying and flood-prone areas. Power outages have affected thousands in Tarrant County, and flash flood warnings are in effect with authorities urging caution on flooded roads. The storms are expected to subside by Saturday morning but may return in lighter form that afternoon and evening in some counties, with improving weather conditions anticipated on Sunday and cooler temperatures mid-week. Continuous monitoring of updates from the National Weather Service is recommended to ensure safety during these severe weather events.
