This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for North and Central Texas.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.
There is a chance of thunderstorms across all of North and Central
Texas through the night. Severe thunderstorms are possible, but most
likely south of a line from Goldthwaite to Hillsboro to Athens.
Large hail and damaging winds are the primary hazards. Heavy
rainfall is also likely in the most favored severe weather area which
may result in flash flooding. Therefore, a Flash Flood Watch is in
effect until 7 AM. Locations north of a Goldthwaite to Hillsboro to
Athens line may see hail near or slightly larger than the size of
quarters.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday.
Scattered thunderstorms will be possible Tuesday southeast of a line
from Bonham to Weatherford to Comanche. Severe storms are not
expected.

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be possible, periodically,
across much of the region Tuesday night through Friday. Cloud to
ground lightning will be the primary hazard. Severe weather appears
unlikely at this time.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation is possible through the night but especially
southeast of a line from Goldthwaite to Hillsboro to Athens.
