    A Tornado Watch remains in effect on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, for areas east of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex in Texas as a line of strong storms moves across the region. The storms are expected to clear the area by midday, after which a Red Flag Warning will take effect for Killeen in Central Texas. Strong, dry winds following the system—forecast to reach 40—55 km/h (25—35 mph) with gusts up to 80 km/h (50 mph)—will increase fire weather risks, shifting the primary hazard from severe storms to the potential for rapid fire spread.
