TEXAS \u2013 Another round of severe storms is headed for the southern U.s.<\/a> this week, with parts of Texas<\/a> vulnerable to significant flash flooding Sunday night.<\/p>\n

After some brief wet weather earlier in the week, another round of severe weather<\/a> is looming over Eastern and Central Texas,<\/a> with several inches of rain possible.<\/p>\n

Round Of Severe Storms Expected To Slam Millions Early This Week Across 1,000+ Miles With Damaging Hail, Winds<\/a><\/p>\n

Portions of South Central Texas are under a Flash Flood Watch<\/a>, where life-threatening conditions are possible.<\/p>\n

Rainfall totals in Austin<\/a> and New Braunfels<\/a>, Texas, could range from 2 to 4 inches, with isolated totals reaching up to 10 inches.<\/p>\n

There is also a lingering tornado<\/a> threat throughout both regions of the state starting Monday, with the potential for an EF-2 or stronger near Abilene<\/a>, Texas.<\/p>\n

A Level 2 out of 5 severe storm threat is in effect across Texas, with the primary window of development expected Sunday evening, according to the FOX Forecast Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Models initially indicated that Oklahoma<\/a> and Kansas<\/a> could see severe storms, too, but the focus has shifted toward the potentially significant flooding<\/a> in Texas.<\/p>\n

Due to morning showers and lingering cloud cover, some areas are somewhat primed for storm redevelopment along the western dryline.<\/p>\n

What Is A Dryline And Why Is Its Location Important In Severe Weather Forecasting?<\/a><\/p>\n

A dryline is a boundary separating moist and dry air masses, and an important factor in severe weather frequency in the Great Plains, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).<\/p>\n

The environment is only somewhat primed because the storm system lacks a forceful ingredient.<\/p>\n

“When looking for severe weather, there needs to be a trigger to converge all the severe weather ingredients together to produce enough lift to make storms explode,” \u00a0the FOX Forecast Center said.<\/p>\n

Currently, that trigger is lacking, so forecasters are waiting to see if these storm systems can align for actual development as we head into the evening.<\/p>\n

Areas under a Level 2 severe weather threat include San Antonio<\/a> and Waco<\/a>, Texas.<\/p>\n

Ongoing storms have already produced over 3 inches of rain in some locations, and forecasters wouldn\u2019t be surprised if isolated, significant flash flooding occurs overnight.<\/p>\n
