The story continues to focus on a serious weather threat to the region tonight. The Metroplex and much of North Texas are exposed to increased RISK of severe weather for the first time this fall.
Please download our weather app so you can protect yourself from these storms tonight. We’ll also keep you posted on CBSN all night. Be Weather Aware! It has been since last spring that we had such a high risk of storms here.
