Update Severe Storm Threat With Large Hail and Possible Tornadoes Forecast for Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles
Meteorologists are warning of a developing severe weather setup across the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles. Forecasters say thunderstorms forming Thursday afternoon and evening could produce very large hail, damaging wind gusts up to about 70 mph, and isolated tornadoes. The Storm Prediction Center has placed much of the eastern Texas Panhandle under a “slight risk” for severe weather, while surrounding areas remain under a marginal risk. Supercell storms are possible along a dryline boundary, raising the chance of large hail and localized severe damage.
