Now Till 7am Saturday: Two Tornado Risk Areas

Updated

The brown area near the OK-TX border has a significant chance of tornadoes. A tornado watch has been issued for that area. 

The brown area from east Texas to southeast Alabama is under a tornado watch (till 9pm) from Houston to southwest Louisiana. Overnight, there is an enhanced risk of tornadoes into southern Alabama (see post below for Saturday's tornado threat). 

Please make sure you have at least two independent ways of receiving tornado warnings during the night.
