First Alert Weather Extra

On this episode of First Alert Weather Extra, meteorologist Andrew Tate takes a deep dive into a stormy week ahead across East Texas. With First Alert Weather Days in place from Monday night through Friday, Andrew explains when and where strong to severe thunderstorms, large hail, damaging winds, isolated tornadoes, and flooding are most likely.

He walks through the latest seven-day forecast, breaks down the setup involving a cold front and dry line, and explains why the threat changes from day to day. You’ll also hear which time periods look most active for communities including Tyler, Longview, Lufkin, and Nacogdoches, along with updated rainfall expectations and why flooding could become a bigger concern later in the week.

The episode also includes a look at the long-range forecast, a recap of severe weather impacts across Texas and the Midwest, a weather history spotlight on the April 2011 Super Outbreak, and the weekly forecast accuracy report.
