640PM: Tornado Watch for Texoma and North Texas has been CANCELLED EARLY. The lack of lift kept storms north of the Red River. Storms are expected Saturday morning in North Texas as a cold front moves south. We could see some as soon as midnight. Large hail will be an issue with stronger storms.
Quick pre-dinner update: Texas Weather Update (March 6, 2026): Tornado Watch in Effect, Storms Still Quiet youtu.be/mMcvROY3ZIA?...

Weather map from Texas Storm Chasers showing a large yellow tornado watch area across North Texas and Texoma, including Wichita Falls, Denton, Fort Worth, Dallas, Sherman, Paris, and Greenville. The watch is valid until 10 PM CST. Text on the graphic notes storms may produce very large hail up to 2.5 inches, wind gusts to 70 mph, and possible tornadoes.
255PM: A Tornado Watch is in effect for much of North Texas and Texoma until 10 PM CT. Storms developing this afternoon and evening could produce very large hail, damaging winds up to 70 mph, and a few tornadoes. Stay weather aware and have multiple ways to receive warnings. #TXwx
Helpful reports are whatβs actually happening where you are: hail size, wind damage, tornadoes, flooding. Calling to interpret radar just ties up phone lines during active weather.
Thought we wouldnβt have to say this, but please do not call the National Weather Service to report what you see on radar. The radar data comes from the NWS, and forecasters are already watching it.
Severe storms may develop across North Texas and Texoma this evening with the potential for very large hail, damaging winds, and an isolated tornado if storms form. Additional storms are expected across parts of Texas this weekend as a cold front moves south.

The greatest concern currently includes areas from Amarillo to Lubbock east toward Childress and Vernon.
If you live in the Panhandle or South Plains, stay weather aware this evening as storms begin to develop.
π΄ Weβll continue monitoring and will have live coverage this evening on YouTube.
Atmospheric conditions are becoming more favorable for storm development, and a Tornado Watch will likely be issued soon.
