National Weather Force has issued a Tornado Watch effective for parts of Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana, centering the Dallas forecast zones into Northeast Texas this evening until 4am Wednesday morning.
An upper-level system out of the west will move into the region today. A dryline located around the Fort Worth / Dallas area will be the focus spot from north to south zipping a line of storm cells this evening. Dewpoints are up and the temperature is rising. Backing southeast winds will accompany the surface low to bring a tornado probability, mainly along the watch area and centering near and east of the Dallas, Texas regions and those counties surrounding it. Storms will move predominately to the east with time.
National Weather Force Tornado Risk Analysis Model (TRAM) is pegging a moderate tornado dynamics risk today in the focus areas spoken of, which means that strong tornadoes cannot be ruled out within the lone supercell clusters, which should last even into the night with a valid tornado threat so have your radios handy as nighttime tornadoes cannot be seen and are considered the most dangerous.
Large hail and damaging winds will also accompany the watch area.
