North Texas's outlet for visual weather updates.

"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 impacted areas to provide on-the-ground visuals - thereby, eliminating the noise from the outside brought about by those who either bemoan or hype up weather events.

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 get a full view of what a tornado-prone storm looks like from miles and miles away, and WHY weather visuals are important in terms of conveying the seriousness of severe weather.
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 severe weather. If they don't, they'll shrug it off as unimportant.
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 there in order to prepare travelling towards areas impacted by severe weather events. Doing so assures speedy, efficient relaying of weather information to North Texas folks - both visually, and textually.
