🚨 TEXAS SEVERE STORM OUTLOOK FOR SUNDAY
Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop Sunday afternoon and continue Sunday night as a cold front moves south through Texas.
This is not looking like a major tornado setup for most of Texas, but it is a setup that can produce very large hail and damaging straight-line winds.
Highest risk zone: West-Central, Central, and North Texas — including parts of the Big Country, Concho Valley, Hill Country, I-20 corridor, DFW Metroplex, Waco/Killeen, and nearby areas.
Main threats:
⚾ Large to very large hail, possibly larger than 2 inches
💨 Damaging winds of 70+ MPH possible, locally higher
🌧️ Heavy rain and localized flooding where storms train
🌪️ Tornado risk is low, but not zero, especially where storms stay more isolated or interact with boundaries
Estimated timing:
• West-Central Texas / Big Country / Concho Valley: Sunday afternoon into evening
• North Texas / DFW / Waco / Killeen: Sunday afternoon through evening
• Hill Country / Austin / San Antonio: mainly Sunday evening into Sunday night
• East Texas / Southeast Texas: Sunday evening into overnight
• South Texas / RGV: late Sunday night into pre-dawn Monday, with a lower severe risk
Do not focus only on the color over your house. Storms can be severe outside the highest risk zone, and the exact placement/timing will depend on where morning storms and outflow boundaries end up.
Practical prep before storms arrive:
✅ Move vehicles under cover if you can
✅ Secure patio furniture, trash cans, trampolines, and loose outdoor items
✅ Charge phones and have multiple ways to receive warnings
✅ Avoid being on the road when storms arrive — especially Sunday evening/night
✅ Have a plan to get inside quickly if warnings are issued
We’ll keep tracking the timing and threat zones as newer data comes in. David will have a video briefing posted later today.
