Saturday evening brings a reminder for Benbrook residents to stay weather-aware.
The National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Watch in effect until 11:00 p.m. CDT on Saturday, April 25, covering a large portion of North Texas, including the Dallas-Fort Worth area and surrounding communities.
Forecasters say a few tornadoes are possible, along with widespread hail up to softball size and scattered wind gusts reaching as high as 80 mph.
That means this is a good night to keep phones charged, weather alerts turned on, and a plan in place in case conditions change quickly. A tornado watch does not mean a tornado is happening, but it does mean conditions are favorable for severe storms and possible tornado development.
For families in Benbrook, especially those with evening plans, it is worth checking the radar often and being ready to move indoors if warnings are issued.
Officials also note the broader impact across the region, with more than 10 million people included in the watch area, along with thousands of schools and hospitals.
The safest move tonight is simple: stay alert, stay informed, and do not ignore severe weather warnings if they come.
Residents can monitor updates through the National Weather Service and local emergency alerts as storms move across North Texas.
