Severe weather made a return to North Texas on Tuesday, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a Tornado Watch until 9 p.m. for numerous counties. Residents were advised to prepare for potential damaging winds and large hail, with a low risk of an isolated tornado touchdown.
Morning disturbances brought showers and storms to northern areas, with more activity expected Tuesday afternoon and evening as a cold front approached.

This follows a devastating weekend that saw tornadoes strike Parker and Wise counties, resulting in two fatalities and widespread destruction.
