The storms are bringing the threat of large hail, blinding downpours, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. Multiple tornadoes have already been confirmed in Texas with one confirmed near Cross Plains, Texas, and another near Comanche, Texas.
"Severe thunderstorms will continue to fire across parts of Texas and Oklahoma through Sunday evening. The strongest storms will target northern Texas, including Dallas," AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Andy Mussoline said.
