Severe Thunderstorms Target Texas This Week

Severe thunderstorms will threaten parts of Texas Tuesday and Wednesday with large hail and damaging winds.

The Details

A strong disturbance moving across the Southwest U.S. will tap into a warm and unstable air mass across Texas bringing some rounds of severe weather.

The first round occurred on Monday with reports of large hail up to 7 cm in diameter across northwest Texas.

Weather radar shows severe thunderstorms across northwest Texas on Monday. These storms produced large hail up to 7 cm in diameter.

More severe storms are expected Tuesday afternoon and night from Little Rock, Arkansas southwest to near Dallas and San Antonio, Texas. Large hail will again be the primary concern. However, damaging winds, frequent lightning and local flash flooding are a risk in the stronger storms.

The disturbance responsible for the severe weather will push out into the Plains on Wednesday. This will shift the severe concern a bit farther to the southeast for Wednesday afternoon and night.

San Antonio will again be at risk for severe weather on Wednesday, and this threat will shift into new areas such as Houston, Texas. Damaging winds, large hail, and flash flooding could threaten communities that experience a severe storm later on Wednesday.
