Some folks up in the northern part of the Lone Star State could be in for some interesting weather Sunday, July 12 as hail, flash flooding and even a tornado risk linger in the area throughout the day.
A threat of possible severe thunderstorms are expected in the central and southern parts of the Texas Panhandle, with potential hazards seeming to be plenty. Timing for severe weather looks to be between 3-11 p.m. according to the National Weather Service. Half inch-sized hail could fall in the area and damaging winds up to 60 miles per hour blow through the region. There is a “very low tornado risk” in the area as well, the NWS says.
Potential thunderstorm chances up until 7 p.m. are as high as 40%, especially near Hereford, while the rest of the area’s chances of rain seem to hover near 30%. “Isolated to scattered storms today [July 12],” the NWS says. “Storms will be nearly stationary and will be limited to the central and southern Panhandles, with higher chances further south.”
And storm chances will hang around overnight into monday, July 13. As scattered thunderstorms impact the area, the NWS added that as small hail and damaging winds hit, the storms will “have very little motion” and could produce heavy rainfall which would turn into flash flooding. That threat will remain between 1-10 p.m.
