Ongoing strong storms heading east/northeast across parts of the western hill country and south Texas will have the potential for damaging winds and a few isolated tornadoes the morning and into the afternoon hours.  One (radar indicated) tornado warned storm is currently affecting areas northwest of Corpus Christi near San Patricio.  Others popping up here and there across the area within the Tornado Watch box is not out of the question through the remainder of this morning and into the afternoon hours. Additional moisture continues to stream north over the region this morning as a warm front begins to move north.  This will work to increase overall instability and enhance storm development throughout the afternoon.  Very heavy downpours are also likely with Flash Flooding an additional concern.  Have a way to receive weather warnings either by smartphone app or NOAA Weather Radio.
