A tornado warning is in effect for Stephens and Jack County as well as borderlined counties across north Texas as a huge supercell is aiming for the north side of Fort Worth and headed right for DFW Arpt northwest of Dallas in 1 1/2-2 hours. Tornadoes, hail to softball size and wind gusts of 80-100 mph are likely with this storm as it plows east southeast at 25-30 mph. Keep a close watch on this dangerous situation in the DFW Metroplex.

At 6:15 PM between Possum Kingdom Lake and Graford, softball size hail has been confirmed.
Watch it in DFW. I'm really serious, take tornado precaution now in DFW. Tornadoes, 80-100 mph wind gusts, and softball to grapefruit size hail is expected in the dallas area in the next hour.
