On this episode of First Alert Weather Extra, meteorologist Andrew Tate delivers a special First Alert Weather Day update as severe thunderstorms approach East Texas. He breaks down the latest live radar trends, explains the tornado watch now in effect, and walks viewers through the expected timing of storms from Dallas-Fort Worth into East Texas through the evening and overnight hours.

This episode focuses on the biggest threats, including very large hail, damaging winds, an isolated tornado risk, and the potential for heavy rain and flooding later in the week. Andrew also explains the weather setup behind the storm threat, including the impact of a cold front and dry line, and shows how the risk evolves from Tuesday night into Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

You’ll also get an updated look at the seven-day forecast, projected rainfall totals, and the longer-range outlook heading into next week. Plus, the episode includes a weather history segment on the 2011 Super Outbreak, a look at severe weather damage across other parts of the country, and the show’s featured satellite image of the day.
