The potential for several intense supercell storms this afternoon and evening has increased in Texoma and North Texas – including the D/FW Metroplex. Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible in the Panhandle this afternoon, and this evening farther south into the Hill Country. The *most intense* storms may produce giant hail (4-5″) and damaging winds. The overall tornado risk is low, but not zero. The corridor most likely affected by a tornado issue is near the Red River around sunset. We’ll have a complete forecast posted by 6 AM in the free Texas Storm Chasers mobile app and weather blog.

Initial thunderstorm development is expected around or after 3 PM in western North Texas, Texoma, and across Oklahoma. Storms will move quickly to the northeast, around 40 to 50 MPH. After 8 PM, a line of storms could develop further south across North Texas, the Hill Country, and Central Texas. Some storms may produce strong winds and large hail as they move east/northeast. Thunderstorm intensity should decrease early Tuesday morning as storms move into parts of the Brazos Valley and the Ark-La-Tex.
