This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for North and Central Texas.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight.

Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected to further develop
west of the I-35 corridor this afternoon. The primary threat will be
locally heavy rain and generally small hail. Isolated marginally
severe hail cannot be ruled out, though.

The severe threat will increase early this evening as storms develop
across western North Texas and Central North Texas through 6-8pm.
There will be a threat of damaging winds, marginally severe hail, and
a few tornadoes, especially south of I-20 and west of I-35.

Strong to severe storms should push across the I-35 corridor during
the late evening hours, and then move into East Texas after midnight.
There will be a continued threat of severe weather, with the highest
potential remaining south of I-20. Localized flash flooding will be
possible as well.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.
A few storms may linger along and east of a line from Hearne to
Canton early Thursday morning, with lightning and localized flooding
being the primary threat.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation is likely south of I-20 and west of I-35 this
afternoon, and area-wide this evening and overnight.
