On this day in history: 80 years ago, Pilot and Flight Instructor Lt. Col. Joe Duckworth made the first flight into a hurricane from Bryan Air Field, Texas. This 1943 flight led to the 1944 activation of the 3rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, redesignated the 53rd WRS in 1945.

Curious on how to setup your smartphone for WEA? Here are some general directions!

It is always a great idea to have multiple ways to receive warnings. Weather radios are another great option. You can also follow us here!

Big weather changes are on the way by this evening. Scattered, strong to severe storms develop W of I-35 late this afternoon, as heating and increasing lift help to
erode the cap. Be sure to have a reliable way to receive weather alerts and proper shelter. #dfwwx #ctxwx #txwx

It's on all of our minds: How will this winter storm compare to the one in February 2021?

No 2 events are alike. This one won't be as bad in many ways, but we do expect more ice which means more treacherous road conditions. Icing may cause localized power outages. #dfwwx #ctxwx

[Jennifer Dunn @JenLDunn]

North and Central Texas: if you have brushed off today's severe weather threat, hopefully this gets your attention. LARGE Hail and Tornadoes are possible later today!! Stay Weather Aware! #dfwwx #texomawx #ctxwx

[NWS Fort Worth @NWSFortWorth]

DFW is above freezing. That's 139 consecutive hours at or below 32, tying it with the 7th longest streak in Jan '42. DFW was above freezing Saturday from 3-4pm with another 93 hours before that. Even if that didn't occur, still well short of the record of 295 in '83. #dfwwx #txwx
