Extended Outlook

A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until midnight tonight for much of the Rolling Plains, extreme southeastern Texas Panhandle, and portions of the eastern South Plains. Thunderstorms will be capable of producing large hail, damaging wind gusts, locally heavy rainfall, and possible tornadoes.

Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon and evening, tracking east through the overnight period. Additional rounds of storms will be possible late Wednesday morning, then again in the afternoon. Strong wind gusts, large hail, and heavy rainfall will be the main threats though we cannot rule out an isolated tornado or two.

Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon and evening, primarily east of I-27. All hazards will be at play, including strong winds up to 70 mph, golf ball sized hail, and although unlikely a tornado or two cannot be ruled out. #lubwx #txwx

Here is the Excessive Rainfall Outlook for Wednesday. Heavy rain remains a concern across much of the area with swaths of 2+ inches possible.
