.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible today and tonight

between quarter and ping pong ball size, damaging winds in excess of

addition to the severe weather, the threat of flash flooding will
increase across Central Texas northeastward into East Texas this

Thunderstorm activity will continue on Sunday mainly for areas east
of Interstate 35. Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible

damaging winds and isolated tornadoes will also be possible.
Depending on today's rainfall amounts, any additional rain across
