Severe Weather in Texas to Mississippi

http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/midweek-severe-weather-texas-to-miss/6401028 As a major storm swings out of the Southwest, there is the potential of violent thunderstorms sweeping from western Texas to the lower Mississippi Valley during the middle of the week. The setup has the potential to bring a significant severe weather outbreak, by way of a developing squall line. The most common characteristics of the severe thunderstorms will be damaging wind gusts, hail and blinding downpours. However, a few of the storms will bring the potential for a tornado. Tornadoes could occur during the early stages of the developing squall line or in isolated storms ahead of the squall line. The first isolated storms during the outbreak are likely to fire late Wednesday afternoon from parts of western Texas in the vicinity of I-27/Route 287. The storms will fire on the leading edge of clear-air wind gusts that can kick up dust in parts of New Mexico. The storms will then progress and increase in number farther east, along the I-20 corridor across central Texas to near the Red River area Wednesday night. The storms could impact areas from San Antonio to Dallas/Ft. Worth.
