***Elevated Risk of Severe Weather Today***

Good Tuesday Morning East Texas.  We will see an increasing threat of severe weather this afternoon across East Texas including the threat of hail high winds and isolated tornadoes.  Thunderstorms will begin to develop to our west early this afternoon and spread into the area by mid afternoon.  A few of these storms will be capable of very large hail gusty winds over 70 miles per hour and isolated tornadoes.  Highs this afternoon will reach the upper 80s in most areas with a few spots in our southern counties approaching 90 degrees again.  Scattered strong storms will linger through the night with lows dropping into the middle to upper 60s.  Wednesday will be partly cloudy with a few scattered storms possible but the severe threat will be very low.  Highs will reach the middle to upper 80s.

Things begin to quite down by the end of the week into the weekend.  There will be a slight chance of isolated thunderstorms Friday afternoon.  The atmosphere at this time does not appear to be set up for the development of severe storms.  The weekend looks warm and dry with highs in the upper 80s to near 90 degrees.
