www.wpc.ncep.noaa.govHere’s the latest on Hazardous Weather Outlook (HWO) as of now.
-
The Hazardous Weather Outlook is issued by the National Weather Service to outline potential hazards in the next seven days, such as severe thunderstorms, heavy rainfall, or winter weather. This outlook helps users anticipate risky weather and plan accordingly.[4]
-
National and regional outlooks often indicate areas with a Slight, Elevated, or Marginal risk for severe weather on upcoming days, including probabilities for tornadoes, hail, and damaging winds. These outlooks are updated daily as weather patterns evolve.[2][4]
-
For the broader U.S. forecast window, recent outlook summaries highlight limited severe-weather potential in some regions over the next few days, with higher chances focused in specific states or corridors depending on the upper-air setup and surface features.[1][2]
-
If you’re in Grapevine, Texas, the most relevant risk would typically be from isolated to scattered thunderstorms during the warm season, with potential for gusty winds, hail, or briefly higher rain rates. The HWO for Texas often notes the possibility of non-severe to locally severe storms in the area during peak months, especially when a strong cold front or dryline approaches.[4]

For precise, up-to-date details, check your local NWS Weather Forecast Office’s Hazardous Weather Outlook or the national outlook page, and consider toggling to graphics or day-by-day sections that show probabilities and timing for your area.[3][8]
