Texas Braces For More Severe Storms: Multiple Waves To Hit Today Through Wednesday Morning

Texas Braces For More Severe Storms: Multiple Waves To Hit Today Through Wednesday Morning

by

Numerous thunderstorms are expected to bring a ruckus to Texas over the next several days. This morning, we have the chance of storms along the Red River in Texoma, and some of those storms may move south into North Texas and Northeast Texas through the afternoon hours. Large hail, localized damaging winds, and heavy rain are likely with the strongest storms. We may see these storms move toward East Texas late this afternoon, but to be honest, we’ll have to see how they behave.

Severe thunderstorms are possible in multiple rounds this morning through Wednesday morning across the eastern eighty percent of Texas. The only folks not in a risk are in the Borderland in Far West Texas. The most intense storms may produce hail larger than the size of a baseball, hurricane-force wind gusts over 85 miles per hour, flooding rainfall, and perhaps a tornado.

This Afternoon

Additional thunderstorms are expected to develop along the dryline on the Texas/New Mexico border this afternoon. The strongest of those storms will become superceulluar with a risk of large hail, damaging winds, perhaps a tornado, and locally heavy rainfall. By this evening, a large complex or line of storms will accelerate southeast across the Permian Basin, Big Country, Concho Valley, Hill Country, North Texas, Central Texas, Brazos Valley, and perhaps even into Southeast and East Texas by Wednesday morning. The most intense storms in the line may produce hurricane-force wind gusts over 85 MPH.

Derecho Risk Tonight into Wednesday Morning

There is concern a derecho event with widespread swaths of damaging wind may unfold tonight with that complex of thunderstorms as it moves southeast across several hundred miles of Texas. Heavy rainfall will also result in impressive rain accumulations and some threat of flooding. Isolated to scattered storms are possible on Wednesday across the eastern eighty percent of Texas, though the specifics are undeterminable until we get past tonight.

Busy Weather Continues into the Final Days of May

Several inches of rain are expected from the eastern Texas Panhandle, West Texas, and eastern Permian Basin east into the Ark-La-Tex, East Texas, and Southeast Texas through Saturday. Some locations may receive four to eight inches of rainfall. Flooding will be a threat.

Thursday and Friday look active with more chances of storms with a threat of large hail, damaging winds, and flooding rains. The tornado threat of the next several days looks to be on the low end. That does not mean we won’t have a few tornadoes, but at this time, we’re expecting far more hail, wind, and flooding reports, with a secondary concern of a few tornadoes. One benefit of the increased rain chances is cooler temperatures across the northern half of Texas until the end of May.
