1:11PM - Chief Meteorologist Brett Anthony expects a TORNADO WATCH to be issued soon.
9:52AM - Once we hit 11a.m., we'll begin to see stronger thunderstorms develop in Deep East Texas. Through the early afternoon, these will lift across the region, with damaging wind gusts and hail as the main threats. A brief tornado is possible with these, as well. Later this afternoon, another round of strong thunderstorms will fire up and move through East Texas. These will be stronger than the initial batch and will feature all of types of severe weather, including a few tornadoes. This second wave of strong storms will last until about 9 p.m.
7:52AM - Severe weather is expected to increase into the afternoon hours, and remain into the overnight hours as well. All modes of severe weather will be possible over the next 24 hours, including tornadoes. The tornado threat will come in both the traditional Supercell form, and eventually the Quasi-Linear Convective System (QLCS) form. Given the strongly sheared environment, a few of these tornadoes could be strong. Heavy rain and isolated flash flooding may also become a concern, but that is more likely in the portions of our area under a Flood Watch.
