More Tornadoes and Jumbo Hail Could Slam Texas on Wednesday

• Another Outbreak of Severe Storms is Expected on Wednesday

• Over 60 Million People Could Experience Severe Weather

• Large Hail, Tornadoes, and Damaging Winds Are All Possible

Welcome to springtime in Texas, where flowers aren't the only thing blooming.

Another Round of Severe Storms On The Way

From March to May, severe storms also bloom in the Lone Star State. This spring, it seems that central, north-central, and east Texas have been the areas to get hit most often with hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes.

Get ready for another round on Wednesday, April 2.

Dallas, Waco, portions of East Texas and all of the ArkLaTex will be in harm's way for the development of significant severe thunderstorms.

What Is A Significant Severe Storm?

The Storm Prediction Center defines Significant Severe Weather when any of the following occur:

• A tornado that produces EF2 or greater damage.
• Wind speeds of 75 mph (65 knots) or greater.
• Hail 2 inches in diameter or larger

All of these are possible with the storm outbreak on Wednesday. Any location within the hatched designated area on the map below has the highest risk of significant severe storms.

That's over 60 million people from Waco to Chicago who will be threatened with an outbreak of these significant weather events.

The Severe Weather Continues After Wednesday

The severe weather outbreak is expected to continue across the same portions of the South and Midwest beyond Wednesday.

The map above represents more severe weather that is expected on Thursday. Once again, central Texas to the Upper Midwest will have the focused risk of the severe weather threat.

The cold front that will be responsible for Wednesday's severe weather outbreak is expected to stall and bring the threat of thunderstorms, many severe, through the end of the week, and possibly into the weekend for the same region.
