In the wake of Tuesday's devastating storms, the National Weather Service has identified a second EF-1 tornado in North Texas. Early Wednesday morning, a survey team arrived in Wise County and discovered a narrow path of destruction near Cottondale,

Tornado season is in spring because this is the time when air temperatures clash. The warm Gulf of Mexico winds mix with the cooler north winds, creating unstable atmospheric conditions which spawn tornadoes. The warmer it gets, the more likely it is for severe storms to form.

From 4 a.m. to 6 a.m., the storms will be moving into the metroplex, first into Tarrant, then into Dallas counties. We'll watch for supercells ahead or along the line, they could produce large hail. The tornado threat will be along the leading edge of these fast-moving storms.

Wednesday will be another warmer-than-average day across North Texas with sunny skies. A First Alert Weather Day is in effect today for a red flag warning and the low chance of isolated storms in the late afternoon.
