This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for North and Central Texas.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.
A broken line of storms will impact areas south of the I-20 corridor
into the evening hours. Some of the storms within the line will be
severe with damaging winds and large hail. Although the discrete
cells may exhibit some rotation, the high storm bases and generally
unfavorable low-level shear profiles should limit the tornadic
potential. Although the activity will not be slow-moving, heavy
downpours will pose a flood risk.

Additional thunderstorms will accompany a cold frontal passage
overnight. Some strong or severe storms will be possible with this
activity, but the severe threat should diminish later this evening.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday.
Low thunderstorm chances will linger Monday across western portions
of Central Texas, particularly during the morning hours. These storms
are not expected to be severe.

Nocturnal storm complexes may enter North and Central Texas from the
west or northwest during the morning hours both Tuesday and
Wednesday. Similar events will be possible Friday morning and
Saturday morning. Although a strong storm can't be ruled out with any
of these systems, the severe threat looks low.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation is likely into the evening hours south of the I-20
corridor. Limited spotter activation may be requested elsewhere.
