We've got severe weather moving in to  North Texas right now.  Here are two more ways you can stay 4Warned!

1) Look on our blog front page for the updated Severe Weather Update blog.   We'll update this throughout the day, so check  back frequently.  Better yet, look on the right hand side of  that  blog page, and click on the link that says SUBSCRIBE.  Now you'll get an e-mail  update everytime we update that blog. 

2)  Also, check out our new Severe  Weather  Tracker.  Click on  Weather, and look for the tab on the left that says "Severe Weather".  This is a state-of-the-art tool that uses the power of Google Maps to give you a dynamic look at real-time conditions.  You can zoom-in and zoom-out.  You can  overlay watches and warnings.  It's very slick. 

If you have comments about any of these features, please post them as comments below, and I'll try to help you out!

I was checking out the severe weather feature and I can't seem to get it to zoom in. It is stuck in "United States" mode. That's all fine and dandy, but I want to zoom in on Dallas. Thanks

I was just looking at the weather page and saw where there was a tornado spotted near Anna.

Where did you see this about Anna? There's nothing near Anna now.

That is really cool. I like the ability to place the star on there, but wish it was above the radar image.

Is there a chance of getting the timestamp on the images so when they are looped we can figure out how fast it is moving?

Howdy! First off, I'm not the FOX 4 traffic guy. That's Waggoner. I'm the "other Chip" and I’m the managing editor of this world’s-finest newsroom. One of my responsibilities is to manage this website, so I’d love to hear your comments. Outside of work, I’m on the board of directors of Radio Television News Directors Association, the leading organization of TV/radio/online journalists in the world. One of the Top 5 highlights of my life will come when the Texas Rangers win a World Series. My wife is also in TV News, and we've got two great kids. This photo is me in front of a mountain glacier at the Columbia Icefields in Alberta, Canada. How to tell Chip Waggoner and me apart? We're both good-looking, but he's a Frog and I'm a Mustang, and that's all you need to know about that!
