TYLER, Texas — Welcome to the last weekend of April East Texas,
We made it through the first severe weather set up with a couple of tornado warnings in Van Zandt, Henderson and Rains county on Friday. However, no major damage was reported. We were able to enjoy a bit of a break Saturday, but Sunday is when our next round of severe weather will emerge over East Texas. At this time, it appears, strong or severe thunderstorms will be possible over most of the Piney Woods with flash flooding becoming a bigger threat by Sunday night.
Here's your forecast:
TONIGHT:
A wind advisory is in place until 7 am Sunday morning. Secure any loose outdoor objects because we could see gusts of wind up to 40 mph! It stays warm and muggy overnight, which helps our storm setup on Sunday.
SUNDAY:
Sunday is a CBS19 Eye on Weather day, as we've got another energetic wave racing through East Texas. Thunderstorms are expected to develop Sunday afternoon and continue through the evening and overnight into Monday. 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 and Sunday night, as well as a slight risk for strong to severe storms.
SUNDAY NIGHT:
Sunday night these storms look to remain relatively strong. After popping up and moving to the North East, late on Sunday they will begin to slow before moving back to the South East. 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.
