A pattern change will take place Easter Weekend as an upper low and cold front bring multiple chances for rain. A few strong to severe storms will be possible Friday night through Sunday, so remember to check back for forecast updates through the week. #ctxwx#texomawx#dfwwx
Thanks to @DallasOEM for visiting @NWSFortWorth today to see behind the scenes in our office, and refresh/update on our support to them during all hazardous weather and special events, and our continued partnership with a common goal of public safety 🤝🏼
This is not a fun radar loop to look at! Already one large tornado confirmed in Arkansas, and the evening/night is just getting started for all those in the path of this large storm system.
A train of tornadic thunderstorms pushing over eastern Arkansas this evening on the southern edge of a line of severe storms stretching northward over portions of Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin. A deadly weather event in progress. #tornadooutbreak
One of the most common questions we get at the NWS is “What is the difference between a Watch and a Warning?”. Hopefully this video helps explain the two. Thanks @TarrantCountyTX for the partnership! ⛈️
Do you know the difference between a Weather Watch and a Weather Warning? Understanding the difference is essential for your safety, find out the answer from the experts at the National Weather Service.

This morning's damaging thunderstorm wind event reminds us peak severe weather season is nearly here. My family and I were already taking cover when ~70 mph winds hit our house this AM. 70+ mph winds are equivalent to an EF-0 tornado, & you should take cover the same way #dfwwx
A damage survey team has confirmed a brief EF-1 tornado 🌪️ occurred early this morning. Peak winds are estimated at 110 mph with a length of 0.42 miles. Read more at https://t.co/QWhx4TNEPq
Additional surveys will be conducted tomorrow in other areas that received damage. #dfwwx
A near flawless balloon launch from a skilled meteorologist in winds gusting near 50 mph 👏 The data from this balloon will collect critical atmospheric measurements to help improve weather model accuracy.
A lesser known challenge we have on windy days... launching the balloon in 50 mph wind gusts! 🎈👀
Successful? Yes. Graceful? We'll let you decide. (Note: no meteorologists were blown away in the making of this video.😉) #dfwwx#txwx#BalloonWrangling
