North Texas's leading source for visual weather updates, provided by Skywarn-certified storm spotters.
"Red and green are not all that you see."
In a world where weather data oversaturates both the real world and online world, North Tex Wx places importance on weather visuals.
Instead of providing graphics and charts, we travel head-on towards areas impacted by severe weather to provide on-the-ground visuals; thereby, eliminating doubt and assumption brought about by those who only report on weather behind the screen without wanting to do the actual work themselves.
Mission
On May 18, 2025, severe thunderstorms hammered the northern suburbs of the DFW Metroplex. One of those storms was a tornado-prone storm located west of Little Elm, which bought about significant wind damage in Lakewood Village.
On that date, we were stationed at Celina, Texas - with our intention being to persuade the public over why weather visuals are just as important as warnings.
As you can see in the video, there is non-stop, dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning, with one of those lightning strikes hitting an object at timestamp 2:08.
As such, North Tex Wx's mission is to relay the significance over why visuals are important.
Yes, text is important. Tweets are important. Graphics and warnings are very important. In reality, though, we live in a visually-verifying world. Most people want to see proof of ongoing severe weather. If they don't, they will more than likely not take severe weather warnings seriously.
This is where North Tex Wx fills in the gaps.
Stationed northeast of the DFW Metroplex, in good ol' Princeton, Texas, we stage our vehicles just north of Highway 380; ready to hit the road when severe weather is forecasted. Doing so assures speedy, efficient relaying of weather information to North Texas folks - visually.
