SEVERE STORMS IN TEXAS

Severe Weather Map

Severe Weather Discussion

We’re tracking the potential for a significant severe weather outbreak on Mother’s Day across central Texas into southern Arkansas and northern Louisiana.

This area could experience a fairly active round of severe thunderstorms capable of producing:

• Tornadoes

• Large hail

• Damaging wind gusts

The greatest threat appears to be from Sunday afternoon into Sunday night as storms intensify along the developing system.

Meanwhile, along the Gulf Coast today, additional thunderstorms are expected to produce:

• Locally heavy rainfall

• Gusty winds

• Isolated flash flooding concerns

Heavy rain will also become a major issue Sunday night across Texas, where repeated thunderstorms may lead to:

• Flash flooding

• Rapid runoff

• Water-covered roads and low-lying flooding problems

Bottom Line

• Severe weather outbreak possible Sunday (Mother’s Day)

• Highest risk: central TX → southern AR → northern LA

• Threats include tornadoes, hail, and damaging winds

• Heavy rain and flash flooding also possible

• Gulf Coast storms today may produce localized flooding

Overall, this remains a high-impact severe weather and flooding setup, with both storm intensity and rainfall concerns increasing into Sunday night.
