Tornado threat rises for North Texas amid severe storms
The National Weather Service raised the Dallas Fort Worth area to a moderate tornado risk with nearly 50 Texas counties under a watch and an Eastland County warning. Severe storms brought 3 inch hail, heavy rain, and rain-slick skies as Storm Prediction Center officials warned of favorable tornado conditions. Meanwhile Oklahoma saw diminished tornado odds despite afternoon storms, and western Kansas prepared for severe weather as tropical storm Ana threatened near Carolina coasts. A separate system forecast snow in the Nebraska Panhandle and South Dakota, with up to 5 inches possible.
