The Raccoon Valley Radio network’s Severe Weather Action Team interrupted regular programing to bring you up to the minute weather coverage when severe thunderstorms entered our listening area early this morning.

The first severe thunderstorm warning for portions of Dallas, Greene and Guthrie Counties went into effect around 12:15am Tuesday.  Raccoon Valley Radio had four staff members on alert providing wall-to-wall coverage throughout the storm.

High winds of up to 70 miles per hour were reported with the storm, along with torrential rain, up to nickel size hail and lightning.  Tornado sirens went off in the Granger area due to high winds, though no tornadic activity was reported with this band of storms.  All local severe weather warnings were allowed to expire at 1:30am.

No damage has been reported as a result of the storm.  As always, the Raccoon Valley Radio network will bring you live wall-to-wall coverage any time there is a severe weather warning in Dallas, Greene or Guthrie County.
