Seeing snow in Denton! Roads are bad, but the scenery is beautiful! About 1-2” at my location. #NBCDFWWeather
Wow! What a shot from an airplane flying above the fog over Dallas! (THIS is why I always choose the window seat over an aisle). Thanks to Ross Hardin for sending it in. #NBCDFWWeather
Incredible. Almost the entire state of Texas is covered in a Winter Storm Warning. I mean, it’s impressive when every county in Minnesota is covered, but TEXAS?!! Unprecedented. #NBCDFWWeather
Looks like little man is awake. He knows to be quiet while daddy is broadcasting, but he finds other ways to communicate 😀
My first day as a dad has been pretty great! 😀. Our son, Seth, was born last night tipping the scale over 9 lbs! #HelloWorld
Seeing a lot more people on the roads today than yesterday. Not sure why. Roads are WORSE! Not cancelling/closing and requiring non-essential workers to show-up this morning is plain stupid. #NBCDFWWeather
Replying to
By "barely" I mean it's on the cusp of category five. 155-156 mph is the cut-off.
Happy 4th of July! My first brisket on the smoker! 9 and a half hours. -worth the wait!
#Irma is down to a category 4, but just barely. Moving toward the Bahamas and Cuba today. -->
Here's a view of the Dallas North Tollway near 121 in Frisco. Guess I won't be going to IKEA today. #NBCDFWWeather

WOW... Dallas and Fort Worth sunrises...both are spectacular! Retweet for Dallas (left) and Favorite for Fort Worth (right). #NBCDFWWeather
Here's the timing of the onset of heavy snow in North Texas. Roads will likely become impassable in DFW with 4-6" totals. We simply don't have enough plows/resources to clear the roads fast enough. #NBCDFWWeather #WinterStormWarning
Woot-woot! It’s official! I’m a part of Guinness World Records! I received the certificate today from RokerThon a few weeks ago. The category is “most people in an online weather reporting relay (63)!” #NBCDFWWeather
UPDATE to the Tornado Count Map to include 1 report Thursday near Vernon, TX. Also, I've now included all states for 2017.
Incredible look at the deep convection with Imelda over the past six hours. #NBCDFWWeather

Caught Mr Owl in our backyard…keeping an eye on me. 🦉 It’s such a beautiful day, he’s not sleeping! #NBCDFWWeather
It's a boy! Coming this FALL to the Johnston home! 😀
Camping at Grapevine Lake. Beautiful morning with a good cup of coffee. #CampingWin

My wife texted this picture this morning. Looks like he discovered his shadow! Guess that means six more weeks until winter. 😀
It takes a whole lotta wind to get these giant flags stretched out like this! Gusts over 40 mph this morning across DFW! #WindAdvisory #NBCDFWWeather nbcdfw.com/weather

I will be utterly floored if there aren't rolling blackouts this week. Today's weather is hottest in 4 years...

My wife wakes me to news of a tornado warning. -Just like you, we watch and listen to closely. -Now, back to bed so I can relieve him at the station after midnight. #SpringStorms #NBCDFWWeather
Great view of Dallas this morning from Texas Sky Ranger! About a half hour until sunrise. #NBCDFWWeather
My wife threw a stick of beef jerky into my work-bag for a snack today. That's love right there. 😃
Symbolic #Dallas skyline this Wednesday morning. Blue and Yellow for Ukraine (Reunion Tower), Texas flag for Texas Independence Day (Omni Hotel), and purple for Mardi Gras (BOA tower). #NBCDFWWeather
Amazing how upset people get that they missed the big hail storms. 🤔
Anyway, here's the radar replay from Saturday. --> #NBCDFWWeather

Tough to leave this little guy, but it's back to the grind tomorrow! Gotta work to pay for all the diapers 😳.... Join me in the morning!
As upper low approaches from the west, the snow is likely to get heavier this afternoon. #NBCDFWWeather

The baby hawk is growing! This morning, Mama hawk brought him a stick (new toy?). He likes playing with it. 😄

I'm tired of updating this stupid graphic (and hope it doesn't go any lower!). But the correction, is that it's now the coldest since 1949 in DFW! #NBCDFWWeather
What a cool shot over Dallas with the low clouds hanging over downtown at sunrise! #NBCDFWWeather
The lights are on at Fair Park! All set for the start of today! Great shot from Texas Sky Ranger -->
Palo Duro Canyon did not disappoint this week. Breath-taking views…in Texas!
Playing hide and seek with my 3 year old son. While looking for me he looks in the dishwasher. 😆
Wow! Incredible view of this heavy rain curtain north of downtown Dallas. The rain is falling near White Rock Lake. #NBCDFWWeather
Never seen this before. The Dallas skyline goes dark as people do their park to conserve power. Record cold continues this morning. #NBCDFWWeather
I pointed out some bluebonnets to my 3-year old son yesterday. However, I guess I didn't articulate the second "B" enough...
He replied, "Daddy, I want to see the blue vomits" 😂 🤦♂️
#Bluebonnets
Got him to sleep by reading the book of Ezekiel out loud...that usually does it for me too 😉
Updated: As more info comes in, I've been able to get a better idea of where the damage is from last night's tornado in Dallas. Avoid this area if possible, damage is extensive. #NBCDFWWeather nbcdfw.com/weather
Taking "baby-leave" starting tomorrow...my send-off from the morning team...diapers! 👶🏻
Thankful for our little turkey this year! (And these blissful moments of sleep💤). #HappyThanksgiving
Are you ready for THIS?! Heavy, wet snow possible tomorrow morning! #NBCDFWICE
SLEET this evening, then SNOW overnight! ... Curious, "Favorite" if you like, "Retweet" if you don't. :)
Check out the full moon from our Dallas towercam on this special anniversary. #Apollo50th
We certainly weren’t born the same year (she’s younger), but the same date! Happy Birthday, ! #BirthdayBuddies
Lake Effect Snow in Texas?? It's happening in the DFW metroplex! Cold air blowing across warmer lake temps is producing light snow -->
My “weather at home” setup. Nothing fancy, but it beats color bars! 📺 #NBCDFWWeather. #SocialDistancing

I've been forecasting in North Texas for nearly 10 years and I don't recall ever seeing a 24 hour temp change of 40 degrees! #NBCDFWWeather nbcdfw.com/weather
Please take this one seriously. Here's what to expect with the Winter Storm Warning in North Texas. --> #NBCDFWWeather

@GrantJNBC5 just celebrated 10 years at NBC 5! Here is one of our first pictures together- congratulations my friend! #NBCDFWWeather @NBCDFWWeather
Hey, North Texas, what we're experiencing now is called the "fall fake-out." Sure, enjoy it, but don't fall for it! #NBCDFWWeather
GIF
Denton is a winter wonderland this morning! Roads are terrible, but it sure looks pretty! #snowpatrol #NBCDFWWeather
Does everyone in your household know the “safe place” in the event of a tornado? Ours is the closet. No windows, lowest level, and fewest outside walls. Plus, while listening for the “all clear” from on the app I can organize my ties 😉 #SafePlaceSelfie
Wow. Here's a clear shot of last night's tornado near Lake Bridgeport (9:45 p.m.). This tornado then moved up to Alvord and produced significant damage. No word on injuries at this time. This is a still image from video sent in from Lexi Read. #NBCDFWWeather
Be careful what you ask for in June in Texas.
Yes, the rainy pattern is over, but now....
#HOT #NBCDFWWeather
