The watch does not mean that tornadoes will occur, only that they are possible. This means that conditions are favorable for tornadoes to form and it is necessary to pay attention and be alert in case they do occur.

When a tornado forms or is imminent, the National Weather Service will issue a Tornado Warning. This means that you need to immediately implement your plans to protect yourself, so it is of the utmost importance to be aware and to stay informed.

The areas of Texas under flood warning are Concho, TX; McCulloch, TX; Menard, TX, Coryell, TX; Leon, TX; Robertson, TX; Hunt, TX; and Rockwall, TX.
