Over the past 72 hours, hundreds of NWS employees, private sector Mets, EMs & first responders across the Plains/Midwest have been working incredibly hard to keep their communities as safe as possible from this major severe weather episode. An institution we can all be proud of.

About 24 hours from now, thousands of North Texans will choose to drive while severe thunderstorms are in the area. If that's you, your future correct decision NOT to park beneath an underpass during a hailstorm may save your life, and others behind you. IT'S YOUR CHOICE.

We always try to document/rate tornadoes to the very best of our ability. The recent event in Lamar County was challenging because we weren’t able to reach some key damage sites until today. Once we got on-site, careful analysis resulted in a slight upgrade to low-end EF-4.

On 95% of the days in N TX, you can ignore the weather and it doesn’t amount to a hill of beans. Tomorrow falls in that “other special 5%” category. The threat will be real, so PAY ATTENTION. Plan ahead, have a way to get warnings, and know what to do if one’s issued for you.

Pro secret: when forecasting winter precipitation AND impacts in 28-33 deg range, it gets tricky and we’re FAR from perfect. Solar radiation, heat conduction thru soil/concrete, latent heat release of precip, traffic effects, etc. - all play a role. It’s tough; always learning.
