The National Weather Service (NWS<\/a>) is warning of storms hitting Texas on Tuesday, September 15. If the systems strengthen, residents in affected areas could have more to be on alert for more than just rain.<\/p>\n

Forecasters say conditions are more likely to turn severe in the eastern Panhandle<\/a> near Clarendon, though thunderstorms are expected across the region. Both the central and eastern Panhandles face a Level 1 risk out of 5 that storms will escalate, with Perryton, Pampa, Canadian, and Amarillo among those in the warning zone, according to the agency.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Forecasters say hail, 60 mph wind gusts, and a tornado (though the tornado likelihood is very low) are all possible. Hail could measure 1.75 inches, roughly the size of a penny.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meteorologists say the most likely window for this activity to begin is around 3 p.m., and it could last until 11 p.m. Storms are expected to move from southwest to southeast.<\/p>\n

The NWS is urging locals to set up multiple ways to receive weather warnings on their devices. There’s a 60% chance of rain near and in Amarillo between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., when temperature highs are expected to reach around 89 degrees. After sunset, the chance of rain rises to 90%, and temperatures will dip to about 64 degrees.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The NWS says there’s a slight risk of excessive rainfall that could lead to flash flooding across portions of the central and northeast Panhandles. Weather radar is predicting 1 to 2 inches of rain per hour between 4 p.m. Tuesday and 1 a.m. Wednesday, September 15. Flash flooding is more likely in urban areas, low-lying areas, and Palo Duro Canyon, according to forecasters. For most of the rest of the combined Panhandles (including Dalhart and Dumas), there’s a marginal (lower) risk.<\/p>\n

North Texans will continue to see rain chances each day through Thursday, September 17.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The National Weather Service (NWS) is warning of storms hitting Texas on Tuesday, September 15.
