This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for North and Central Texas.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.
Thunderstorms will move east across North and Central Texas through
the day. While wind shear will be insufficient for widespread severe
weather, adequate instability may allow for a few strong or
marginally severe storms, particularly along and east of a line
from Lampasas to the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. The primary hazards
with the severe storms would be one-inch hail and damaging wind gusts
to 60 mph.

For much of the region, this evening may be a lull in thunderstorm
activity. However, another round of storms may approach from the
southeast tonight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday.
Thunderstorm chances will continue regionwide Monday and Tuesday. If
the atmosphere can sufficiently recover from preceding storm events,
some strong storms will be possible these days, particularly during
the peak heating of the mid to late afternoon. However, weak shear
will continue to limit the severe potential.

Wednesday through Saturday, thunderstorm chances will persist but be
increasingly confined to areas east of the I-35 corridor.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Limited spotter activation may be requested today, primarily along
and east of a line from Lampasas to Dallas/Fort Worth.
