As a large storm continues to spread rain over much of the South Central states, locally dangerous thunderstorms will affect parts of Texas Tuesday night.
The area of greatest risk for severe weather extends from the Big Bend and Big Spring areas to the I-35 corridor, including San Antonio and Austin into the overnight hours.
It is possible strong to severe storms at the local level survive to the Houston and Corpus Christi areas overnight.

The storms bring the potential for large hail, flash flooding and damaging wind gusts. A couple of the strongest storms can produce a tornado.

By midday Wednesday, the nasty storms will have essentially moved off the Texas coast into western Gulf of Mexico waters. However, cooler air with areas of rain and drizzle will linger over much of Texas with spotty thunderstorms over the lower Rio Grande Valley and vicinity.
Aside from the risk of severe weather, the storm system overall will bring beneficial rain to a large part of Texas and the southern Plains to Dixie over the next few days.
