Our garage door got sucked in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">No injuries were reported from Monday\u2019s storm but it uprooted trees, downed power lines and scattered debris throughout some neighborhoods northwest of Houston. The National Weather Service on Tuesday had confirmed at least two tornadoes, one in Cypress with winds up to 105 mph and another around the community of Klein with winds up to 115 mph.<\/p>\n<h2>Weather Forecast<\/h2>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">The Latest Local Forecast: Cold front rolling through North Texas before Thanksgiving.

The storm system was expected to move to the Northeast by Tuesday night, with another one in the forecast in the Pacific Northwest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Even though the official start of winter is nearly a month away, a wintry storm was developing in the northern part of the country, with snow falling in North Dakota.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s impacting North Dakota, Minnesota, including Minneapolis, and then portions of the northern Great Lakes,\u201d said weather service meteorologist Marc Chenard in College Park, Md. He said snowfall was expected into Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">As much as 8 inches of snow had fallen by late Tuesday afternoon in parts of North Dakota and South Dakota, according to the National Weather Service. In North Dakota, officials closed parts of Interstate 94 and Interstate 29 due to ice, low visibility and multiple accidents.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"aspect-ratio:190 \/ 127\" class=\"dmnc_features-article-body-embeds-related-story-module__2UraD flex-none object-cover dmnc_images-modern-image-module__QFaG- max-w-full h-auto text-white dmnc_images-modern-image-module__9Zlll bg-gray-light object-contain dmnc_images-modern-image-module__P3kZ4 w-full\" width=\"190\" height=\"127\" src=\"https:\/\/dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com\/resizer\/v2\/2ZDGP3L6ZVHUNBFMCBIMMFHP34.jpg?auth=ef3eaa8f914602ffbd2dae0ce5df520ef06dca6000046fd611ba05cec843982b&#038;quality=80&#038;height=127&#038;width=190&#038;smart=true\" alt=\"Passengers make their way through TSA security checkpoint, on Friday, Nov. 7, 2025, at...\"\/><\/p>\n<h2>Thanksgiving Weather Forecast<\/h2>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">The holiday itself was shaping up to be dry, cold and breezy for the Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday in New York. But parts of western New York and northern Michigan are expected to see lake-effect snow Wednesday through Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s pretty narrow bands, but they\u2019ll be some significant snowfall accumulations,\u201d Chenard said. More winter weather could arrive in the central and northern parts of the country over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">In Texas, some people hunkered down in their homes and hid in closets during the storm earlier in the week. More than 20,000 customers were without power at one point Monday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Beck said his 13-year-old son was home alone when the severe weather hit. He said his son hid in the closet and wasn\u2019t hurt but was still shaken up on Tuesday. The boy told his father he could feel the house shake and hear the wind howl as things fell and broke.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" style=\"aspect-ratio:5000 \/ 3333\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1300px) 830px, (min-width: 768px) 66.66vw, 60vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com\/resizer\/v2\/UU5KX2H5CFEC5PZ4PAAMCXS7WI.jpg?auth=4c3979247b79a06fcba8bd3d343def428547bba9ce0d8d7d3e09bc04a3f5caaf&#038;quality=80&#038;width=250 250w, https:\/\/dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com\/resizer\/v2\/UU5KX2H5CFEC5PZ4PAAMCXS7WI.jpg?auth=4c3979247b79a06fcba8bd3d343def428547bba9ce0d8d7d3e09bc04a3f5caaf&#038;quality=80&#038;width=430 430w, https:\/\/dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com\/resizer\/v2\/UU5KX2H5CFEC5PZ4PAAMCXS7WI.jpg?auth=4c3979247b79a06fcba8bd3d343def428547bba9ce0d8d7d3e09bc04a3f5caaf&#038;quality=80&#038;width=830 830w\" class=\"dmnc_images-modern-image-module__QFaG- max-w-full h-auto text-white dmnc_images-modern\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Severe Weather Hits the US Ahead of Thanksgiving CYPRESS, Texas \u2014 Kenny Beck surveyed the damage Tuesday to his family\u2019s two-story home after at least two tornadoes tore through the Houston area, damaging over 100 homes at the start of a busy Thanksgiving travel week that has Americans closely eyeing the weather. \u201cHalf my roof [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":17648,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_lock_modified_date":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-17646","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-weather"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com\/resizer\/v2\/W3GXFN4YK73Z5SOYCI7ERTSBWA.jpg?auth=d00cdad19764eeba163b6ee66c658b63290e12222282a56a81ef3cabf49b440b&quality=80&width=1200&height=630&focal=2673,762","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/dallas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17646"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/dallas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/dallas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/dallas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/dallas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17646"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/dallas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17646\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17649,"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/dallas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17646\/revisions\/17649"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/dallas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/dallas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17646"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/dallas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17646"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citystuff.com\/dallas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17646"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
