Thunderstorms are expected to develop Sunday afternoon and continue through the evening and overnight. In addition to the wind, tornado and hail threat, there will be heightened concern for flash flooding.
The Weather Prediction Center already has East Texas under a Slight Risk for Flash Flooding for Sunday, as well as a slight risk for strong to severe storms.
Sunday night's storms look to be relatively strong. After popping up and moving to the northeast, late on Sunday they will begin to slow before moving back to the southeast. However, by the time you wake up and leave for work Monday morning, the storms will most likely be out of the area and leave behind a partly cloudy day.
