Severe Thunderstorms Across Western and Northern Texas

A frontal boundary lifting northward as a warm front will be the focal point for the development of thunderstorms across portions of central and southern Texas as an upper level low continues to move slowly eastward across the Great Plains. As thunderstorms develop during the afternoon hours, a few strong to severe thunderstorms capable of hail and damaging winds will be possible, but an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.
