From Staff Reports
UPDATE: Please be aware of the potential for severe weather this afternoon between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. Our primary threat will be high winds and hail, however, a tornado cannot be ruled out.
Expect periods of heavy rainfall with a low possibility of flood.
Severe Weather – Monday
- Widespread showers and thunderstorms will develop by Monday morning, spreading east through the day Monday.
- A threat for severe thunderstorms will exist for areas near and south of Interstate 20, and near and east of Interstate 35.
- All modes of severe weather will be possible, but large hail and damaging winds are expected to be the main threats. A few tornadoes will be possible as well.
- Rainfall amounts will generally range from one-half to one inch, but locally higher amounts of up to two inches will be possible in some locations.

National Weather Service Overview:
Severe Weather – Monday

- A threat for severe thunderstorms will exist for areas near and south of Interstate 20, and near and east of Interstate 35.
- All modes of severe weather will be possible, but large hail and damaging winds are expected to be the main threats. A few tornadoes will be possible as well.

What We Are Certain Of:
- Widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop by Monday morning, spreading east through the day Monday.
- Nearly everybody will see at least some rainfall.
- The flood threat should be low, though some minor flooding may be possible anywhere locally heavy rain occurs.
- The severe weather threat is expected across mainly Central and East Texas.
What We Are Less Certain Of:
- How far north and west the severe weather threat will extend. A slower storm system could result in the severe threat reaching farther north and west than currently forecast.
- How significant the tornado threat will be. Some areas across Central Texas could see a greater tornado threat develop if thunderstorm coverage is a bit less.
- Rainfall amounts. In general, most people can expect between one-half and one inch of rain, but locally higher amounts are expected.
